What is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis comes in many forms. It's not contagious, can drive you crazy and causes embarrassment. Psoriasis can be improved and possibly eliminated in many people who have it following a natural treatment plan. Psoriasis can be different in appearance and location on the body and there are five main types of psoriasis.
Plaque psoriasis appears as red, raised patches or lesions covered with a silvery buildup of dead skin called scale. It is the most common form and can appear on the elbows, knees, lower back and scalp with scalp psoriasis being the most common location.
Guttate psoriasis often begins in childhood showing itself as small raised spots usually found on the trunk and limbs following a strep infection. Inverse psoriasis is found in the armpits, groin, under the breasts, on the buttocks and other skin fold areas. Red areas appear, but are shiny and lack the scale found in plaque psoriasis and scalp psoriasis.
Pustular psoriasis is mostly seen in adults and is characterized by white pustules surrounded by red skin. The pus in the pustules is not an infection nor is it contagious. Erythrodermic psoriasis is a form that can affect the entire body and is accompanied by severe redness, itching and pain. Severe cases will require hospitalization.
Traditional medicine lists many causes of psoriasis, but regardless of what they believe them to be, psoriasis treatment usually involves drugs, creams or ultraviolet light therapy, all very limited in how much they will help.
By addressing the cause of psoriasis, it can be improved or eliminated. Recent research shows gastrointestinal involvement and diet to be the place to start. Psoriasis is very much linked to diet...in spite of what your doctor might say... and a protocol restoring balance to your GI tract, avoiding dairy products and gluten containing foods and identifying food allergies can conquer your condition.
