What is psoriasis?🤔
Psoriasis is a chronic condition where the immune system speeds up skin cell growth, leading to red, scaly patches. It’s manageable with the right care!
📌How many types are there?
There are five main types: plaque, guttate, pustular, inverse, and erythrodermic. We’ll help identify which type you have and tailor your treatment.
😷Is it contagious?
No, psoriasis is not contagious! It’s influenced by genetics and your immune system. We can help identify specific triggers that may cause flare-ups.
💪Does it only affect the skin?
While skin symptoms are the most visible, psoriasis can affect the entire body. About 1 in 3 people may also develop psoriatic arthritis, which can lead to joint pain.
🗓️When do symptoms start?
Psoriasis can begin at any age but often appears between 15 and 25. It affects people of all genders and skin types, so seek guidance if you notice changes.
💊Is there a cure?
Currently, there’s no cure, but many effective treatments can help manage symptoms and improve your quality of life.
🧑⚕️What should you do?
Taking the first step by seeking information is crucial. We can create a personalized treatment plan that may include topical treatments or medications.
