Psoriasis affects 5% of the European population, 2% of the Asian and African populations, and approximately 10% of dermatology clinic patients. While benign and typically not impacting overall health, psoriasis affects aesthetics and psychology, leading to various complications. It is more common in men than women and adults than children. The disease manifests in episodes, often fluctuating with the seasons.

What is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a fairly common dermatological condition. Patients with psoriasis often experience itching, burning, discomfort, redness, and peeling skin. Recurrent episodes can lead to skin infections, arthritis, pustules, and erythroderma.

1. Causes of Psoriasis

1.1 Immune System
Autoimmune diseases occur when the body attacks itself. In psoriasis, a type of white blood cell called T lymphocyte mistakenly attacks skin cells. Normally, white blood cells are deployed to attack and destroy invading bacteria and fight infections. In psoriasis, these cells cause an overproduction of skin cells, leading to the rapid buildup of new skin cells on the surface, forming scales and red patches.

1.2 Genetic Factors
If someone in your family has psoriasis, your chances of developing it are higher. Approximately 2 to 3% of psoriasis cases are genetic, according to the National Psoriasis Foundation (NPF).

1.3 Other Causes
The exact cause of psoriasis is unclear, but it is believed to involve a genetic component that, when triggered, causes the immune system to produce too many skin cells. This condition is known as an autoimmune skin disorder. There is no definitive cure for psoriasis, but it can be managed.

- Genetics: About 30% of patients have a family history (parent, sibling, or direct relative); 70% of identical twins both have the condition. Studies indicate certain HLA antigens are associated with psoriasis.
- Infections: Streptococcal bacteria can trigger psoriasis in children and guttate psoriasis in adults.
- Stress: Can cause flare-ups or sudden worsening.
- Medications: Certain drugs like long-term beta-blockers, lithium, and corticosteroids can trigger psoriasis.
- Kobner Phenomenon: Skin lesions appear after mechanical or physical stimuli.

2. Treatments for Psoriasis and Effective Scalp Psoriasis Solutions

While psoriasis cannot be completely cured, treatments aim to reduce inflammation, slow down cell production, and remove scales. Treatment options include:

2.1 Topical Treatments
Creams and ointments applied directly to the affected skin can help manage mild to moderate psoriasis.
- Topical corticosteroids
- Topical retinoids
- Anthralin
- Vitamin D analogs
- Salicylic acid
- Moisturizers

2.2 Immunosuppressive Drugs
These include:
- Methotrexate
- Cyclosporine
- Biologics
- Retinoids

2.3 Phototherapy
This treatment uses UV light or natural sunlight. UV light can help reduce the activity of overactive white blood cells that attack skin cells, slowing cell growth. Both UVA and UVB light can reduce symptoms in mild to moderate psoriasis.
