SKIN CONDITIONS
Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a skin disease that causes a rash with itchy, scaly patches, most commonly on the knees, elbows, trunk and scalp.
Causes
Psoriasis is thought to be an immune system problem that causes skin cells to grow faster than usual. In the most common type of psoriasis, known as plaque psoriasis, this rapid turnover of cells results in dry, scaly patches.
It's thought to be an immune system problem where infection-fighting cells attack healthy skin cells by mistake.
Symptoms
Common signs and symptoms of psoriasis include:
A patchy rash that varies widely in how it looks from person to person, ranging from spots of dandruff-like scaling to major eruptions over much of the body.
Rashes that vary in color, tending to be shades of purple with gray scale on brown or Black skin and pink or red with silver scale on white skin.
Small scaling spots (commonly seen in children).
Dry, cracked skin that may bleed.
Itching, burning or soreness.
Cyclic rashes that flare for a few weeks or months and then subside.
Treatments
Psoriasis being an autoimmune disease condition requires treatment which helps recover the immune system itself. Such autoimmune diseases come up from both psychological and physical factors. So detailed study of mental as well as physical symptoms of the patient is quite necessary.
Homoeopathy works in the same fashion by taking in consideration both mental as well as physical symptoms of the patient suffering. And after the study when the core constitutional medicine of the patient is given it helps in correcting the immune system of the patient helping it working in normal way as before and helps heal this condition of skin from deep within.
