Psoriasis Care

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition characterized by red, scaly patches. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy skin cells, causing rapid cell turnover. Proper care, trigger management, and adherence to treatment can help control symptoms and improve quality of life.

Causes

Immune system dysfunction: Psoriasis is primarily an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks healthy skin cells, causing them to multiply rapidly.
Genetics: Family history increases your risk, though you can develop psoriasis without it.
Triggers: Common triggers include stress, infections (especially strep throat), skin injuries (cuts, sunburns, bug bites), certain medications (like lithium, antimalarials, and some blood pressure drugs), smoking, and heavy alcohol use.

Do’s

Moisturize regularly to keep skin hydrated and reduce scaling.
Use lukewarm water for bathing to avoid irritating the skin.
Stick to the treatment plan prescribed by your healthcare provider.
Identify and avoid triggers that worsen your symptoms.
Manage stress through relaxation techniques or counseling.
Eat a healthy diet and exercise to support overall well-being.
Protect your skin from injury, sunburn, and infections.

Don’ts

Don’t scratch or pick at lesions, as this can worsen psoriasis and lead to infections.
Don’t use harsh soaps or hot water, which can dry out and irritate your skin.
Don’t ignore flare-ups; seek medical advice if symptoms worsen.
Don’t overdo topical treatments; follow your doctor’s instructions carefully.
Don’t give up on treatment; consistency is key to managing psoriasis.
