There are a number of factors that can cause psoriasis to appear or flare up after a remission period. These factors include smoking or exposure to smokers, sun exposure (not necessarily excessive) and excessive alcohol intake. Additionally, injuries to the skin can also trigger psoriasis as can skin infections and in some cases, even scratching as the body's T cells (see previous article) may incorrectly see this as a threat and overreact by forming excess skin cells.
Whilst psoriasis is a chronic disease it does not necessarily exhibit itself all the time. The characteristic build up of red scaly skin can flare up and last for weeks or even months and there is generally a remission period before the symptoms return. One of the best, natural treatments that has been scientifically proven to cause psoriasis symptoms to disappear and to promote a remission period of up to nine months is a course of treatments at the Dead Sea, where a number of natural and climate conditions combine together to provide what is considered by many, the most effective psoriasis treatment available today.
Plaque psoriasis is the most common form of psoriasis. It exhibits itself with patches of silvery scales, inflamed red skin. These patches can be circular or oval in shape and often cause severe sensations of burning or itching.
In the United State alone, about 5 million people suffer from psoriasis - around 1.5% of the population. Of these, around 10% also suffer from psoriatic arthritis. This can show itself by joint inflammation and other symptoms of arthritis.
For many people, psoriasis is a devastating affliction. Whilst the symptoms can be uncomfortable and sometimes even painful, the main problem is the psychological impact caused by the visual signs psoriasis leaves on suffers.
For this reason, treatments such as those offered at the Dead Sea, which provide long term relief from all the symptoms of psoriasis, are especially effective.
