What Causes Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a condition known to change not only the skin but also impact a person's daily life, self-perception, and social interactions due to its visible lesions. Understanding its causes and treatments is crucial for those affected.
Origins and Understanding of Psoriasis
Psoriasis has been recognized as a skin condition since at least 35 AD, possibly even earlier. Despite its long history, significant insights have only recently emerged. Research indicates that the immune system plays a crucial role, as evidenced by psoriasis improvement in kidney-transplant patients taking the immunosuppressive drug cyclosporine.
The Role of Genetics
Genetics can influence the likelihood of developing psoriasis, but it isn't the sole factor. Even with a family history, not everyone will develop the condition. Various triggers such as stress, skin injuries, strep infections, certain medications (like anti-malarial drugs, beta-blockers, and lithium), and sunburn can prompt onset in predisposed individuals.
Phototherapy: A Treatment Option
Phototherapy involves the use of ultraviolet light to treat psoriasis, typically conducted in a medical setting. Consistency is key, and some patients might opt for home treatment under a doctor’s guidance.
Understanding Contagion
Psoriasis is not contagious. It cannot be passed from person to person through contact, nor can it spread to different parts of the body.
Advances in Treatment
Historically, psoriasis treatments involved time-consuming methods with severe side effects. The advent of biologics offers promising new options, allowing many to manage and even clear psoriasis for extended periods.
By advancing our understanding of psoriasis, its triggers, and modern treatment options, those affected can experience improved quality of life and symptom management.
