Psoriasis treatment in Homeopathy
Psoriasis is a very common skin disorder affecting 2-3% of population worldwide. In this disorder there is inflammation of the skin with shedding of skin in the form of scales and itching due to dryness of the skin.
 Why does this happen and which area of the skin does it affect?
The exact cause of psoriasis is unknown. A deviated immune system response is considered as a cause for development of this disorder. Every 28 days old skin is replaced by new skin. In a person suffering from psoriasis there is formation of new skin every third or fourth day due to which the skin keeps piling up and then sheds in the form of scales.
 Psoriasis occurs on the elbows, knees, scalp, face, palms, soles, trunk, chest, abdomen and genital areas. When psoriasis affects the joints, it can cause permanent disfigurement of the affected joints. It mainly affects the fingers and toes. Psoriatic arthritis disables a person as they cannot do their normal activities because of the joints being bent and more than that is the severe pain. It can also affect the nails causing permanent damage and disfigurement of the nails.
 People who suffer from psoriasis are often depressed and embarrassed by their skin condition. This condition can lead a person to socially isolate themselves as the shedding skin is a cause of embarrassment. There are many who get very depressed with this condition and have suicidal tendencies.

Use of conventional medicines such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or drugs related to anxiety disorders and anti-hypertensive for a long time could aggravate psoriasis. Stress, depression, anxiety can aggravate psoriasis.
