Psoriasis: Symptoms, Triggers, and How to Improve Your Quality of Life

😖Are you experiencing itching, rashes, or scaly patches on your skin? It could be more than just dryness or allergies.

🚨Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition in which skin cells turn over much faster than normal. This causes itching, scaling, redness, and even pain, which can affect not only your appearance but also your quality of life.

Rashes are often localized to the elbows, knees, torso, or scalp.

🤔When should you see a doctor?

• If you are concerned about your appearance or quality of life.
• If the rash covers a large part of your body.
• When the skin cracks, bleeds, or is painful.
• When treatment is not working.

🙌🏻Falls can last for weeks or even months, and then remissions occur. But even during remission, it is important to take care of your skin and avoid triggers.

👀What can aggravate psoriasis?

• Stress and emotional overload.
• Cold weather: dry air and low temperatures increase dry skin.
  Infections.
• Medications: some medications (such as lithium or beta-blockers).
• Skin injuries: scratches, cuts, or burns can cause new manifestations of psoriasis
