What Causes Psoriasis?

This autoimmune disease continues to be extensively studied, and while genetics and the immune system are both thought to play vital roles in the development of this condition, the exact cause is unknown. Although this skin condition is not contagious, it can develop at any age and affect multiple areas of the body, such as the:

Elbows
Knees
Scalp

This condition may appear as a rash and can also be associated with other uncomfortable symptoms such as:

Itching
Burning
Stinging
Developing these red, scaly patches as a side effect of underlying medical conditions such as Diabetes and Heart Disease

As other types of rashes and skin irritations may be confused for this condition, it is important to have your individual condition medically diagnosed and evaluated before beginning treatment.

How is Psoriasis Treated?

The treatment of this condition may depend on its location on the body. For scalp Psoriasis, approved medications are available and have been formulated to be safe and effective for the skin. As this condition can also potentially spread to the face, back of the neck, and the ears, our medical team may suggest alternative forms of treatment in order to protect these sensitive areas.

At Dermatology Office, P.C., Dr. Yeoman and our medical team have extensive experience treating a variety of Psoriasis cases. We will provide a comprehensive evaluation of your skin and create a personalized treatment plan for your specific needs so you can feel confident about your skin.

What Triggers Psoriasis?

Although our treatments are clinically proven to control flare ups, there are other factors that can help control this condition. Studies have shown that this condition can also be triggered by:

Stress
Sunburns, scratches, and other skin injuries
Certain medications
Specific allergies, diet, and other environmental factors
