Symptoms of Psoriasis Skin Disease
If you have patches of raised red skin covered by flaky white
bumps or buildup, you might have psoriasis. This is a very
common skin disease that is related to your immune system. It
ranges from mild to severe and is not contagious. You will
probably see psoriasis occurring mostly on knees, elbows, scalp,
hands, feet and on the back. Many people that have psoriasis
also suffer from arthritis.
You may or may not experience itching and/or burning if you have
psoriasis. Your skin may also look like it has been burned or it
may have a very bumpy, almost acne-like texture to it.
Researchers believe that psoriasis is caused by the growth cycle
of skin cells speeding up, which causes immune systems to send
faulty signals.
Genetics also might play a part in psoriasis but that is not the
case for everyone. It doesn't have to be in your genes for you
to have psoriasis, in fact, other factors might trigger the skin
disease to appear. Stress is a very likely cause of psoriasis as
well as injury to your skin and adverse reactions to drugs. The
reason psoriasis appears is
because your body can no longer shed
skin cells as fast as it needs to before lesions appear on the
skin.
Your doctor will determine whether you have psoriasis or not by
looking at your skin under a microscope. A piece of the
afflicted skin will be cut out and studied by a physician and
they will be able to tell you if it is psoriasis or not.
Psoriasis can range in very mild or severe by how much of the
body it covers. People with the worst forms of it can have it
covering their entire body. If psoriasis covers hands or feet,
it can impact the way a person is able to function as well.
Psoriasis is a serious skin condition that needs to be treated
as soon as symptoms appear to prevent it from worsening. So, if
you think you might have this skin disease, see your doctor
immediately for treatment.
