Tips for Managing Psoriasis
-
Shampooing and Mask Application:
- For psoriasis, wash hair with anti-dandruff shampoo, apply a mask to the scalp, leave on for 20 minutes, and rinse. Thermal treatments at Tabiano help.
-
Treating Psoriasis:
- Use emollients, topical medications like vitamin D and corticosteroids, phototherapy, and systemic therapies. Psoriasis is inflammatory, not contagious. Causes include genetics and the immune system. Treatment varies from person to person.
-
Identifying Scalp Psoriasis:
- Scalp psoriasis appears as redness with itching and flaking. It does not cause hair loss. It differs from seborrheic dermatitis by well-defined patches and silvery-white scales. Stress, genetics, and climate influence psoriasis.
-
Understanding Psoriasis Development:
- The immune system triggers overproduction of skin cells, leading to thickening and plaques. Psoriasis impacts social life. Treatments vary based on severity and may include creams and innovative therapies.
-
Recommended Vitamins for Psoriasis:
- Vitamin D and corticosteroids are suggested for topical plaque psoriasis treatment. Diet can affect psoriasis symptoms.
-
Things to Avoid with Psoriasis:
- Avoid added sugars, refined carbohydrates, refined oils, saturated fats, alcohol, intolerable foods, and animal products to prevent worsening psoriasis. Opt for a plant-based diet.
