Psoriasis (a sick child - ah - your brother) that occurs when skin cells grow too fast is a medical condition. Than 42 weeks as new skin cells form the immune system sends faulty signals that cause. Body, so the cells are stacked on the surface of the skin lesions in the form of excess skin cells that are not warehouses.
Some signs and symptoms?
Lesions of psoriasis depends on the type and shape. A 5 different types of psoriasis: plaque, guttate, pustular, reverse, and is erythrodermic. People plaque psoriasis (plak) psoriasis, but also "the life of psoriasis vulgaris with approximately 80%." Plaque psoriasis may be white, thick, scaly skin, silver, or red patches occur. Called plaque (plax), these patches can develop anywhere on the skin. Plaque is the most common area of the elbows, knees, lower back, the search and scalp.
Psoriasis can affect the nails. Approximately 50% of people who develop psoriasis have changes in their nails and / or toenails, see. If you withdraw away from the nail bed or nail, naegong ridges, or yellow, cirrhosis of the liver (up pain Engineering - W - orange color, and development - IC) arthritis to begin with. Without treatment, psoriatic arthritis, and progress can be debilitating. If the nails and joints begin to change it to refer to the dermatologist is important is developing. Early treatment can prevent joint deterioration.
What causes psoriasis?
Psoriasis is not contagious. You like swimming pool, even swim in intimate contact has been touched by someone who can not get psoriasis psoriasis. Psoriasis is a much more complicated.
So complicated, in fact, the development of psoriasis, scientists still do what you do when you are studying. Our immune systems of people who know the gene plays an important role. Immune system in the study, scientists found that when people have psoriasis, T cells (a type of white blood cells to fight bacteria and unwanted invaders such as viruses), accidentally triggering the reaction of the skin cells. This is why in psoriasis "T cells - disease, also known as the arbitration may be heard."
The reaction of events rather than a series of 42 new skin cells form to enable the primary cause. T-cell responses that trigger, because of our DNA seems to be a lie. To develop people who inherit genes that cause psoriasis psoriasis. Unlike some immune criteria, it appears many genes involved in psoriasis.
Scientists are still trying to identify genes involved. You have found one gene PSORS1 (Anaconda - ESS a - 1) is called. This is how some genes control the immune system fight the infection.
The scientists also did not mean that everyone who inherits the gene for psoriasis, psoriasis, I have learned. For psoriasis show, he said, "Right" and execution of a mix of genetic inheritance, must seem to be exposed to. Some common life events trigger stress, skin injury, and is used for strep throat. A lot of people for the first time that their psoriasis appeared after one of the following would occur. Are not common triggers. Another of any one person developing psoriasis may not cause psoriasis triggers.
Psoriasis Who do you think?
Psoriasis can develop people around the world. In the U.S., nearly 7 million people diagnosed annually and approximately 150,000 new cases of psoriasis. According to research on psoriasis, the same men and women represents the development. The research also white, more often than other races shows the development of psoriasis. Research conducted in the United States, the incidence of 2.5% of whites and 1.3 percent of African Americans was found.
Family history of psoriasis is likely to increase the risk of psoriasis. It's a family history of psoriasis and psoriatic someone does not ensure the development is important to know.
People with psoriasis can I get?
Psoriasis in the early golden years of any age can start over. Now, however, when the time is most likely to develop psoriasis. Most people between the ages of 15-30 for the first time to see psoriasis. 40 times before the development of psoriasis is approximately 75%. For psoriasis, another common starting time is between 50-60 years old.
Psoriasis does not affect the quality of life?
For some people, psoriasis is a nuisance. Other psoriasis their effect on all aspects of everyday life to find. Unpredictable nature of psoriasis may be the reason. Psoriasis is a chronic (lifelong), is a medical condition. Some people have frequent flare - pop-ups occur weekly or monthly. Others have occasional flare - ups.
Flashes when severe psoriasis can cause itching and pain. Sometimes the skin crack and bleed. When trying to sleep, breaking the skin can cause bleeding often causes lack of sleep. Lack of sleep is difficult to concentrate on school or work can be done. Sometimes a flare - up to an additional need to visit the dermatologist for treatment. Time must be taken at school or work to visit doctors for treatment.
These flare cycles - up and remissions, often sadness, despair, guilt and anger, as well as feelings of low self-esteem can get. Depression than people in the general population is higher in people with psoriasis. Also a common feeling of embarrassment.
