Many of you don’t have the experience to see what it looks like. But let me tell you that you do not look good on your skin. It is basically a skin problem.
Now come to the real thing.
- What is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is basically a skin condition where your skin becomes scaly and thick. It is basically an auto-immune disease and it causes inflammation in your skin. Psoriasis is a chronic disease. It can start unexpectedly and you have to do treatment for it.
Once upon a time humans thought that psoriasis is a type of leprosy and back then people used to maintain distance from a psoriasis-affected person. In my life, I never saw any discrimination against psoriasis patients but my mother saw the discrimination in her childhood days.
My mother was from a rural area of Uttar Pradesh. She lived in an infamous village. She did not get better opportunities when she was young. The villagers used to have their own traditions and rituals and their own rule.
Back then one of the villagers had psoriasis. But He did not know what it is, but the others thought that he had some kind of leprosy disease and they made him separated from others. His family was also excluded from the village.
The villagers were not ready to allow him and his family inside the village. They made him an outsider. He was not allowed to do any work in that state. He and his total family were not even allowed to drive water from the pond.
His children were not allowed to play with other kids or even go to school with other children. The whole family was in distress. They were just not treated as humans anymore. Back then psoriasis was treated like leprosy. It was filled with superstitions.
Psoriasis in general is not contagious but back then people thought that it was like that so, they avoid patient’s touch. But nowadays the scenario is changed, and people become more companionate with psoriasis patients they now do not treat them like animals.
Now coming to the second point which is:
- The Reasons of Psoriasis:
1. There are many reasons for this. But the most common reason may be genetic history.
2. If you have noticed that earlier I also have said psoriasis is a genetically transmitted disease. So, if you have a psoriasis history in your family then you will have the chance to be infected.
3. Psoriasis is basically a skin condition where skin inflammation is the main thing. Those who have psoriasis, you have already known that your disease is an autoimmune disease.
In a normal condition body, your immune system is responsible to attack foreign viruses or bacteria. But in psoriasis, your immune system mistakenly destroys the healthy cells instead of the immune cells. As a result, our immune system creates inflammation and itchy skin.
In psoriasis, it actually takes 30 days to regenerate new cells in place of the old cells. Once the new cell is grown, the old cell is replaced with that new cell.
- Emotional stress can also trigger psoriasis. Any kind of cuts, or injuries can also make your skin psoriasis prone. Certain usage of medicines can also cause psoriasis. Changes in body temperature can also trigger psoriasis.
