Psoriasis Causes And Symptoms

Filed Under Psoriasis, Psoriasis Treatment 

Psoriasis PicturePsoriasis is an autoimmune skin disorder said to be with a genetic component. It can be extremely disabling. Psoriasis symptoms include widespread redness, roughness, severe itching and pain, with white flakes. It is hard to tell this condition apart from other types of skin disorders such as eczema. Even with psoriasis, there are different types.  The picture on the left is just one. For a proper diagnosis and assessment, your skin specialist will have to examine your psoriasis symptoms. Not much is known about the specific causes of psoriasis.  Part of this is because until the past 10 years, psoriasis has been an under-researched condition. It is only recently that psoriasis is discovered to be genetic.  

Psoriasis symptoms appear in patients generally between 15 and 35 years old.  It affects both men and women and it also appears that Caucasians are more susceptible to it.

 

This condition is also non contagious.  However, sufferers often feel depressed and sensitive about their psoriasis symptoms.  Self esteem and confidence can be very low.
