what are the reasons for psoriasis. how it is cured?!


Question:
Answers:
Psoriasis occurs when faulty signals in the immune system cause skin cells to grow too quickly- every three to four days instead of the usual 30-day cycle. Extra skin cells build up on the skin's surface. They then form "plaques," which are red, flaky and scaly patches that are often itchy and uncomfortable. Psoriasis generally appears on the joints, limbs and scalp, but it can appear anywhere on the body.

Psoriasis is a skin disorder than can occur at any age in both men and women. Most commonly, psoriasis first appears as thick, flaky patches of skin on the elbows, knees, or other parts of the body. The patches may be silver or red.

Psoriasis is a chronic disorder, which means it can last a long time and can come back frequently. It is most common in people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. Psoriasis is rare under age 3. Most people who develop it do so before age 30. In the United States, about two or three out of every 100 people have psoriasis.

Having had it since I was 13 I can tell you there isn't a cure - but with treatment it can be manageable. I honestly don't use anything since I don't have an extreme case.
