What Causes Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is caused by an over-reactive immune system that creates inflammation in your skin. When you have an over-reactive immune system, your new skin cell development is much faster than average. The above average rates of new cells replacing old cells creates scales and frequent skin shedding on top of skin plaques. Often times, psoriasis is triggered by somethings which results in the flare-up symptoms.
Types of Psoriasis: Identifying Your Condition
Psoriasis isn’t a one-size-fits-all condition—it can present in several different forms, each with unique symptoms and challenges. Understanding the type of psoriasis you’re experiencing is a critical step in finding the most effective treatment.
Plaque Psoriasis
This is the most common type, characterized by raised, red patches of skin covered with silvery-white scales. These plaques often appear on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back but can occur anywhere on the body.
Guttate Psoriasis
Typically affecting younger individuals, guttate psoriasis presents as small, drop-shaped spots on the skin. It’s often triggered by infections like strep throat.
Inverse Psoriasis
This type occurs in skin folds, such as under the breasts, around the groin, or beneath the buttocks. It causes smooth, shiny, and inflamed patches that can be particularly sensitive.
Pustular Psoriasis
Characterized by white pustules (blisters filled with non-infectious pus) surrounded by red skin, this type can be localized or spread across the body. It’s often triggered by stress, infections, or certain medications.
Erythrodermic Psoriasis
A rare but severe form, erythrodermic psoriasis causes widespread redness, shedding of the skin, and intense itching or burning. It requires immediate medical attention.
Treatment Options
Depending on your symptoms and their severity, our dermatologist might suggest one or more of the following treatments:
- Steroid creams
- Medications
- Moisturizers
- Vitamin ointments or creams
- Medicated shampoos or lotions
