What is psoriasis?

Psoriasis is a inflammatory skin condition that affects about 7.5 million Americans and approximately 2-3 percent of the world’s population. AIt is a lifelong battle for those individuals that have it.

Typically people will only have one type of Psoriasis at a time. However, it is possible to develop multiple types at once, or have the type change from one to another.

What causes psoriasis?

The exact cause of psoriasis is currently unknown, but it is believed to have a genetic component. Most researchers agree that the immune systems is somehow mistakenly triggered, which causes the growth cycle of skin cells to increase.

Instead of falling off (shedding), the cells pile up and form the lesions.

Is there a cure for psoriasis?

Currently, there is no cure for psoriasis; however, there are many courses of treatment. The unpredictable nature of psoriasis makes treatment challenging for many people to determine the best type of treatment. People often need to try out many different treatments before they find the one that works the best for them.
