Comprehensive Care for Psoriasis: Restore Your Skin's Health and Comfort
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition that affects millions worldwide. While there's no permanent cure, effective management can significantly improve your quality of life. At The Skin Sense Clinic, we offer advanced, evidence-based treatments to control symptoms and help you achieve clearer, healthier skin.
What is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is an autoimmune disorder that causes skin cells to multiply rapidly, leading to thick, scaly patches on the skin. These patches, called plaques, are typically red, inflamed, and covered with silvery-white scales. The condition can affect any part of the body but commonly appears on the elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back.
Causes and Triggers of Psoriasis
Psoriasis results from an overactive immune system that mistakenly attacks healthy skin cells. While the exact cause isn't fully understood, genetic predisposition plays a significant role. Common triggers include stress, infections, certain medications, weather changes, smoking, alcohol consumption, and physical trauma to the skin. Understanding your personal triggers is crucial for effective management.
