Psoriasis Treatment

Treatment options for psoriasis have come a long way. Psoriasis treatment is based on the sufferer’s age, the severity of their condition, and the type of psoriasis they have. Psoriasis tends to flare-up when the person is exposed to certain trigger factors. Substances or conditions that can worsen psoriasis include changes in climate, infections, stress, and dry skin. Also, certain medicines may cause an outbreak or worsening of the disease. A natural treatment to improve psoriasis can be found in basic lifestyle changes.

Research indicates that ocular symptoms of psoriasis occur in approximately 10% of psoriasis sufferers. Ocular psoriasis can cause symptoms including inflammation of the eye, dryness and discomfort. When psoriasis affects the eyelids, scales may cover lashes. The edges of the eyelids may become red and crusty. If inflamed for long periods, the rims of the lids may turn up or down. If the rim turns down, lashes can rub against the eyeball and cause irritation. In a prolonged ocular episode vision impairment may occur. Ocular psoriasis treatment is aimed at preventing irritation and controlling inflammation.

The Cause of Psoriasis

The key to sucessfully treating psoriasis is understanding the cause of psoriasis. It is believed that a biochemical stimulus triggers a faster skin growth. The body can't keep up with this accelerated rate of growth and as a result patches of raised skin accumulate.

Research shows that heredity also plays a role in the development of psoriasis. Individuals who have a family member with a severe case of psoriasis tend to experience early onset of symptoms of the disease.

Recent research studies indicate that a disorder within the immune system may also contribute to psoriasis. The T cell, a white blood cell, normally works to fight off infection and disease. Scientists believe that having an abnormal immune system can cause abnormal activity by T cells in the skin. These abnormally active T cells cause skin inflammation and increased cell production.

Diet and vitamin influences have also been thought to play a role in the cause of the development and progression if this condition.
