Psoriasis: Understanding the Causes
Summary:
Psoriasis is not caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi. It’s a non-contagious condition determined by specific genetic factors.
Article Body:
Psoriasis is unrelated to bacterial, viral, or fungal infections and is not contagious. Its occurrence depends largely on genetic factors. Those with a particular gene may develop psoriasis when exposed to certain triggers.
Common Triggers of Psoriasis:
Individuals with the psoriasis gene can experience flare-ups due to a variety of factors, including:
- Sunburn
- Stress
- Skin injuries
- Certain medications
- Infections
- Smoking
- Alcohol consumption
- Weather changes
Not everyone with the gene will experience psoriasis. In families, it’s not guaranteed that all siblings will have the condition, even if the gene is present. Psoriasis requires both a genetic predisposition and an external trigger to manifest.
In some cases, an otherwise healthy person might suffer an injury that doesn’t heal properly. Doctors may then identify an unusual skin behavior indicative of psoriasis, which prevents normal healing. This results from the skin's abnormal response dictated by genetic factors.
How Skin Behaves in Psoriasis:
Under normal circumstances, new skin cells take about a month to move from the bottom layer to the surface, where old cells naturally shed. This cycle is disrupted in psoriasis, with new cells rising to the surface in just a few days. This rapid turnover causes the characteristic red patches, flakes, and itching associated with psoriasis. The skin’s abnormal behavior is a direct result of genetic influence.
Treatment Goals:
Treatments for psoriasis aim to alleviate itching, reduce flaking, and slow down the accelerated cell turnover.
