Aids Against Psoriasis
Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease that forces cells to develop on your skin. The overgrowth usually results in scaly and thick plaques that can cause discomfort and itchiness. In the US, there are over eight million people with psoriasis. Although its causes are still unknown, researchers believe the condition’s triggers are anxiety and stress, skin injuries, and hormonal changes. In addition, antimalarials and indomethacin may also cause it.
While psoriasis isn’t contagious, internal and external risk factors could make one more vulnerable to the disease. These risk factors may include cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, skin trauma, and obesity. Genetics has also been proven to play roles in psoriasis formation. Studies have shown that over sixty percent of genetic markers may be associated with the inflammation that psoriasis causes.
Currently, there are no tests to confirm psoriasis definitively. Often, doctors diagnose it by evaluating the lesions and rashes. They may carry out tests like a skin biopsy to ensure that other similar conditions like eczema are ruled out before proceeding with the appropriate treatment method to address it. Various treatments to manage it exist. Probiotics may also help, as it modulates gut bacteria, with its imbalance being linked to the condition.
