UNDERSTANDING PSORIASIS: CAUSES & CARE FOR YOUR FACE

Psoriasis, medically known as psoriasis, is a chronic skin disease that affects millions of people worldwide. This autoimmune disease manifests itself as scaly, inflamed patches of skin that are often associated with itching and discomfort. 

Psoriasis is not contagious, but can be very unpleasant for those affected. We get to the bottom of the causes for you and tell you how you can gently alleviate the symptoms of psoriasis.

What is behind psoriasis: Understanding the skin disease

Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease that is often associated with inflammation. Our skin cells normally renew themselves every 28 to 30 days. In people with psoriasis, however, this often happens within just a few days. This leads to a build-up of excess skin cells, which appear as scaly, reddish patches. These can be itchy, painful or simply uncomfortable.

Psoriasis can occur on many parts of the body. Psoriasis on the hand can lead to cracks and painful inflammation, while psoriasis on the scalp is characterized by scaly, itchy patches that can even be accompanied by hair loss. However, it can also affect the entire scalp.

Understanding psoriasis and its causes is the first step towards targeted treatment and proper care of the affected skin areas. With the right support and gentle care products, you can control and alleviate your symptoms.

Psoriasis to face: how to recognize it

Psoriasis to face can be very unpleasant. The symptoms are often similar to other skin diseases, which is why it is important to obtain a clear diagnosis from a dermatologist before starting treatment. 

Typical signs of psoriasis to face include

• Redness and inflammation
• Scaly patches
• Itching and burning
• Dry, cracked skin
• Symmetrical distribution
• Acne
• Eczema
• Rosacea
• Dermatitis
  

If you notice one or more of these signs and suspect that you are suffering from psoriasis to face , it is advisable to consult a dermatologist. An early diagnosis helps to initiate appropriate treatment to quickly alleviate the symptoms.

What can trigger psoriasis 

Psoriasis is a complex disease that can be influenced by a variety of factors. The symptoms of psoriasis vary from person to person. 

And the triggers are also very diverse:

1. Genetic factors: If there is a family history of psoriasis, the risk of developing psoriasis increases.
2. Environment and lifestyle: Certain environmental factors, such as changes in the weather, can trigger a flare-up. Unhealthy lifestyle habits, such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, also increase the risk.
3. Psyche: Stress is a known trigger for psoriasis. Emotional stress can worsen the symptoms and lead to new skin changes. Mental illnesses, such as depression and anxiety disorders, are often associated with psoriasis.
4. Hormonal changes: Hormone fluctuations, such as those that occur during puberty or pregnancy, also play a role. Many women report a worsening of symptoms during times of hormonal changes.
5. Infections: Streptococcal infections can trigger a flare-up of psoriasis in some people. This can also lead to red patches on the skin without itching.
6. Medication: Beta-blockers or certain antimalarials can cause psoriasis or worsen existing symptoms as a side effect.
7. Skin injuries: Cuts, sunburn or insect bites can also trigger a flare-up.
   
   

There are many causes of psoriasis. A comprehensive understanding of these triggers can help to better manage the symptoms and develop suitable prevention strategies.
