FOR A CLOSE WATCH

Psoriasis appears as raised, red patches over the skin
with silvery scales. It is often accompanied by irritation
leading to itching, whichworsens the scaling. The dry and
windy atmosphere during winter usually makes such a condition
worse as the dryness of the affected area increases.
At times itching is worse during night or at the end of the day
when attention turns towards it.Redness of the affected area
is common too.
The prime areas psoriasis affects are the skin over the elbows,
Knees and the scalp although it can occur in the creases of the
skin,like the groins, too. The chance of contracting psoriasis
increases if a family member is affected by it.
It is not at all contagious.
Our skin is made up of a layer of keratinocytes or skin cells
which are replaced once in three to four weeks. It could happen
quickly and in unusual amounts in psoriasis, so we can see the
flakes and scales on our body, clothing, bedding, etc.
Instead of four weeks, the extra formation of skin cells could
occur in just three to four days too!
The skin cells are moved upwards to be incorporated onto the
surface . Since the immature cells are pushed up too there they
accumulate and are scaled off appearing as typical lesions of
psoriasis. Certain triggers like stress, anxiety, and injury
all lead to an episode of flaring up of skin condition.
Psoriasis runs in phases and could remain inactive for various
years too.
Homoeopathic medicine has good remedies to see that the lesions
are maintained with minimal dryness and scaling with remedies
Petroleum,Sarsaparilla and Kali sulph.
Itching would reduce with remedies like Caladium, Acidnit, etc.
To see that the disease is pushed into an inactive phase or
remission would be the goal of treatment and Bacillinum,
Psorinum,sulphur,sepia, Arsenic iod are prescribed according
to the symptomatology to achieve the same.
