DISGUSTING PSORIASIS
Psoriasis is a horrible disease and the guesome reality is that there is no known conventional cure. From my experience and study of this disease mainly a skin condition, Plague Psoriasis is the most common and frequently affects the scalp, elbows, knees and feet. It is noted that about 80-90% of people suffer from this type of psoriasis.
Although psoriasis is often described as a skin condition, it is moreso an autoimmune issue or better said,the immune system alters the growth of the skin cells cycle causing the cells to grow faster. The normal cycle should be no earlier than 28-30 days to mature. The cells then move along to the surface of the skin to shed from the body. When the cells get to the surface, it sheds and the cycle repeats and new cells develop. Ususlly, skin cells that are affected by psoriasis, will trigger by the immune system to mature faster and can be as early as four to six days then move to the skin surface.
At this point, shedding is slower, skin cells build up, thus, resulting with irritation and rash-like on skin surface. Many people experience mild or moderate psoriasis, while others experience severe kinds. The severe psoriasis can affect up to 15-20% of the body.
People from all race and gender, young or advanced age group can be affected by psoriasis, however, it is not contagious. In other words, psoriasis cannot pass from one person to the other.
Have you had experiences with psoriasis or know someone else who does? Please let me know, I would love to hear from you and how you manage such disgusting plague.
Have a healthy day!!
