What is Psoriasis ?

in health •  6 years ago 

It is a skin disorder where skin cells multiply faster than normal. The build up will cause the skin to look bumpy like white scales over red patches. It is not contagious,

It is known that 10 to 30% of people with Psoriasis may also have psoriatic arthritis.

What is tough about this disorder, is that no one knows the exact cause of it. The biggest culprit that doctors think is that the immune system went hay-wire, which causes inflammation, triggering new skin cells to form too quickly.

There is no known cure of this condition. Just able to treat the symptoms. This is true for all auto-immune related disorder. Most of the time, the drugs given are to control the symptoms, like reducing inflammation using steroids and such.

There are many wellness products using sold in the Direct Sales way. None of them can official claim to cure or treat any know diseases or disorders. Testimonials of some of the products for some people seem to have reduced the symptoms significantly - again, such testimonials really means nothing, unless it works for the individual with the issue(s).
