There are 5 different types of psoriasis, plaque, vulgaris, guttate, pustular and inverse. The most common is plaque, with 80% of people with psoriasis having this type. Any type can be just a small patch to covering most of the body. Plague psoriasis appears to be hard, red, raised patches with kind of silver-white scale coating. The patches tend to cause pain, burning, intense itching, cracking, and sometimes bleeding. With all this going on people with psoriasis have a hard time concentrating on a job or school. For some sufferer’s everyday tasks, such as walking, self-care and sleeping are very difficult. People with psoriasis tend to be self conscious about their appearance have a poor self image and will either stay away from public places or wear extra clothing to hide their psoriasis. Although psoriasis is not contagious, not everyone knows this and might stare at someone afflicted with psoriasis, which causes embarrassment.
An old and very effective treatment is the sun. UV will slow down the production of certain cells, which is the root cause of inflammation. Always use a sunscreen of 15 or more SPF, and limit the sun exposure to 10 minutes a day.
Vegetable oil added to bath water, will help lock in moisture, apple cider vinegar will help kill bacteria, when added to the bath. Oatmeal can be utilised to sooth your skin and dead sea salt has been known to be useful for psoriasis. Any bath should be from 10 to 15 minutes, longer might tend to dry out the skin.
Vitamins D, B12 and zinc or cod liver oil, along with the combination of baths and applying products directly to the skin have shown great improvement in some with psoriasis. A healthy diet is also very beneficial. Finding tools to deal with stress can be very helpful, as it is thought that stress contributes to psoriasis.
