Psoriasis is a recurring autoimmune disorder, characterized by itchy or sore patches of thick, red skin with silvery scales – often occurring on your elbows, knees, scalp, back, face, palms and feet. Oddly enough, while it affects your skin, psoriasis actually begins deep on the inside – in your immune system. Per the International Federation of Psoriasis Associations, 125 million people worldwide – about 2 to 3 percent of the total population suffer from psoriasis.
Though it can be hard to diagnose because it can look like other skin diseases, here’s what we know. A problem within your immune system causes psoriasis. In a process called cell turnover, skin cells grow deep in your dermis before rising to the surface. This typically takes about one month. With psoriasis, the process is complete in a matter of days. Because your cells are rising entirely too fast, you’re left with the unsightly skin woe.
Even more, there’s no cure. In fact, psoriasis symptoms tend to come and go as they please. In saying that, many factors can worsen or soothe the ailment.
Factors that worsen psoriasis:
- Infection
- Stress
- Dry skin
- Certain medications
Remedies for Soothing Psoriasis from the Comfort of Your Home
Avoid alcohol
A study conducted by the Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School found that indulging with a little libation increased risk of psoriasis among women who drank non-light beer. Those who drank at least five non-light beers per week were nearly twice as likely to develop the skin condition, when compared to women who didn’t drink alcoholic beverages.
