  3. WHAT IS PSORIASIS ? Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that accelerates the skin cell production process, accumulating excess skin cells on the surface. This results in red, inflamed patches covered with silvery-white scales, causing discomfort, itching, and sometimes pain. Psoriasis can be triggered by genetic and environmental factors, and while there is no cure, treatments like topical medications, phototherapy, and systemic drugs can help manage symptoms and reduce flare-ups. The condition can vary in severity and type, with common forms including plaque psoriasis, guttate psoriasis, and pustular psoriasis. 02

  4. TYPES OF PSORIASIS Psoriasis presents in different forms, each with its own symptoms and triggers. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Plaque Psoriasis (Psoriasis Vulgaris) Guttate Psoriasis Inverse Psoriasis Pustular Psoriasis Erythrodermic Psoriasis 03

  5. GENETICS Having a family history of psoriasis significantly increases the likelihood of developing the condition, suggesting that genetic factors play a key role. IMMUNE SYSTEM DYSFUNCTION Psoriasis occurs when the immune system malfunctions, with overactive T-cells causing inflammation and stimulating the rapid production of skin cells, which leads to the buildup of plaques. ENVIRONMENTAL TRIGGERS Several external factors can trigger or worsen psoriasis symptoms. These include high stress levels, infections, skin injuries, certain medications like beta-blockers or lithium, and even colder weather. These triggers can make flare-ups more frequent or intense. CAUSES OF PSORIASIS 04

  6. SYMPTOMS OF PSORIASIS RED PATCHES WITH SILVERY-WHITE SCALES DRY, CRACKED SKIN THAT MAY BLEED ITCHING, BURNING, OR SORENESS THICKENED, RIDGED, OR DISCOLORED NAILS JOINT PAIN (A SYMPTOM OF PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS IN SOME CASES) 05

  7. Topical Treatments For mild to moderate cases, topical medications like corticosteroids, vitamin D analogs, salicylic acid, coal tar, and Tazarotene a topical retinoid are often used. Tazarotene helps slow down skin cell production and can be particularly effective in managing plaque psoriasis. Phototherapy Ultraviolet B (UVB) light therapy is used to slow down excessive skin cell growth. It can be highly effective in controlling moderate to severe psoriasis, especially when topical treatments are not enough. Lifestyle Changes: Regular moisturizing, managing stress, avoiding known triggers, and maintaining a healthy diet can significantly help minimize psoriasis flare-ups. A proper skincare routine and stress reduction techniques are essential components of managing the condition. TREATMENT OPTIONS 06
