About psoriasis

What is psoriasis

By psoriasis there is an inflammation in the skin and  the cells in the epidermis, the outer layer of the skin, divide and grow faster than normally. This occurs usually on confined areas or spots, but can also affect greater skin areas. These areas, psoriatic plaques, then get thicker and get a thicker layer of horn substance. The plaques can in turn rupture and scale off so that there occur open sores.

The affected skin looks first silvery white and then the psoriatic plaques develop and these have the form of red scaly patches.  Plaques frequently occur on the skin of the elbows and knees, but can affect any area including the scalp and genitals. In contrast to eczema, psoriasis is more likely to be found on the extensor aspect of the joint.

The inflammation by psoriasis can also affect the joints and give a condition called psoriatic arthritis.

Psoriasis is chronic and cannot be cured completely, but the condition can be controlled so that most of the symptoms disappear. The treatment consist of a clever combination of several means and one must fit the treatment to each individual.
 

The mechanisms and causes of the disease

By psoriasis there is an autoimmune reaction against the skin, resulting in an inflammation. The action of the immune system and the inflammation then make the cells in the epidermis divide faster. Probably the immune sytem destroys structures in the skin, and fragments of the destructed structures then trigger repair mechanisms in an exaggerated way.

The cause of psoriasis is not known, but a genetic component is probably a pert of the cause. Factors that may aggravate psoriasis include stress, excessive alcohol consumption, and smoking.

Topical treatment of psoriasis

Topical treatment is usually the first approach to manage psoriasis. Topical treatment has the aim of loosening scales, to reduce inflammation, to reduce cell proliferation, and to hinder that sores get complicated by infection. Topical products can contain pharmacological substances to reduce inflammation or natural substances for the same purpose. T

Coal tar is a traditional ingredient used in such products to loosen scales and to reduce the processes forming the scales.

Coricosteroids like desoxymethasone are used to reduse inflammation.

Variants of vitamin D3 and dithranol are used to reduce cell proliferation.

Natural and synthetic oils of various kind is also used to give the skin moisture and loosen the scales.

Coal tar can cause cancer and steroid can destroy the strength of the skin and lead to thin skin. Sudden withdrawal of some topical substances, especially corticosteroids, can sometimes cause the symptoms to get back agressively, so called rebound of the condition.

Phsysiological ways to treat psoriasis

Use of ultraviolet light reduce the process that forms scales by psoriasis and can bring the disease to remission. To get ultraviolet light on the skin, sun-bathing is a common natural metods. Ultraviolet treatment lamps is another way.

The ultraviolet treatment must be done as short exposure several times each week in some weeks, and thereafter one time each week to maintain the effect opbtained.

Ultraviolet light are of these types according to wavelength: UVA (380–315 nm) UVB (315–280 nm), and UVC (< 280 nm). Ultraviolet B (UVB) (315–280 nm) is taken up by the epidermis and helps against psoriasis.

Systemic psoriasis treatment

Systemic treatment, tretment by mouth or injections,  is added if the other treatment modules do not work properly and the psoriasis is of a serious grade.

A traditional systemic treatment is the use of immunosuppressive drugs like methotrexate and cyclosporine. Retionoids that are variants of vitamine A are also used as systemic treatment for psoriasis.

The mensioned systemic drugs bear a great risk of dangeous reactions and must be used only under strict surveillance.

Surgical treatment of psoriasis

When the psoriatic plaques are few and small, these can easily be sliced away surgically. When the skin then heals the treated area will often be without plaques a long time.
