Psoriasis often appears on the elbow, knee, back, face, feet, and/or scalp in the form of core or itchy patches of red skin with silvery scales. Psoriasis can also appear on other parts of the body and some patients having psoriasis also contract a type of arthritis named psoriatic arthritis.
What are a few psoriasis causes?
Psoriasis is fundamentally triggered by an issue in your immune system. It is important to mention here that normally skin cells which grow in your skin gradually rise to the surface over a prior of about a month. However, in patients having psoriasis disease this process occurs in just a few days because your immune system causes your cells to grow extremely fast.
How is psoriatic arthritis diagnosed?
Psoriatic arthritis is sometimes very hard to diagnose because psoriasis symptoms appear like other skin conditions. It is highly recommended that you go for a dermatological consultation session with a board-certified skin expert to get your condition diagnosed. Your skin doctor may require a tiny skin sample to see under a microscope to properly diagnose scalp psoriasis, nail psoriasis or any psoriasis skin if you have psoriasis.
