What is Psoriasis?

Psoriasis is a non-contagious thick scaling of the skin due to excessive cell production - resulting in raised plaques on the skin surface which can be irritating, flaky, dry, slivery, shiny or red - Erythrodermic Psoriasis or Pustular in appearance.  It more commonly affects the scalp, elbows, knees, nails and eyebrows or genital area.  In some cases it can be more general and in severe cases it can accompany arthritic symptoms.

Because Psoriasis can be mimicked by many conditions, it is important to get a formal diagnosis first before looking at alternative methods of treatment.

Triggers of Psoriasis

Alcohol and excessive consumption of animal fats and alcohol have found to have an exacerbating effect on psoriasis; therefore it would be wise to make changes to diet and lifestyle to help complement any other interventions you are using.  Psoriasis also seems to be linked with stress, incomplete protein digestion, impaired liver function and bowel disease.
