Psoriasis of the skin, nails, joints: causes, symptoms and treatment

It is not contagious and is not due to lack of hygiene. Despite this, people with psoriasis often suffer from social isolation.

Understanding this disease is an excellent tool to change this and improve the lives of those who struggle with it. Psoriasis has a genetic basis and is increasingly being referred to as a systemic condition rather than a dermatological one.

The disease is not just a dermatological condition.

What is psoriasis?

Psoriasis (Latin) psoriasis) is an autoimmune, chronic disease of the skin, nails or joints with a genetic basis. It develops inflammation (usually a reddened area on the skin), under the influence of which keranocytes (keratin-producing cells in the skin) start to produce excessively. As they die off - the skin in the affected area begins to peeland.

The disease is relapsing, meaning that periods of remission alternate with phases when psoriasis becomes active. When this occurs, its symptoms worsen and the nature of the skin lesions can transformand.

Based on the age of onset, there are two types of psoriasis. If the disease manifests before the age of 40, it is classified as type I. The peak incidence of this type is between 16 and 22 years of age. Type II attacks after the age of 40 - most commonly people in the 57-60 age rangeand.

It is estimated that psoriasis affects about 2% of people worldwide, but some populations are more or less susceptible to it. Asians suffer from it less frequently, while the prevalence in Scandinavians can be as high as 11%and.

Places on the body that are particularly prone to psoriatic lesions areand:

• the scalp,
.
• face,
.
• hands,
.
• soles of the feet,
.
• armpits and groin,
• genital organs,
and
• genital organs,
.
• nails,
.

It is worth mentioning that psoriasis is often accompanied by comorbidities, most commonly affecting the cardiovascular system and liver. In approximately 10-30% of cases, patients with skin psoriasis are also affected by psoriatic arthritis. Psoriasis patients are also often diagnosed with depression, which can result from the social ostracism that patients often have to deal withand.

Psoriatic erythroderma

Psoriatic erythroderma is psoriasis at its most severe. Inflammation and dermatological lesions can involve up to 90% of the skin. Patients affected by erythroderma are also often accompanied by feverand.

When the skin is damaged over such a large area, it ceases to perform its protective functions. As a result, patients are susceptible to excessive water loss and even protein loss. They are also much more prone to invasion by bacteria and other pathogenic organisms, as well as impaired body temperature control.

Is psoriasis contagious?

No,  psoriasis is not a contagious disease. It cannot be contracted through any type of contact with the patient. The condition results from a malfunction of the immune system and most likely has a genetic basis. The heritability of psoriasis is estimated to be as high as 60-90%and.

Does psoriasis itch?

Yes, psoriasis can be itchy. As a result of the excessive production of the stratum corneum, the stratum corneum dies and flakes off. This leads to water loss, violation of the hydrolipidic layer and dryness of the skin. All these processes can result in persistent itching, as well as a burning sensation and hypersensitivity of a particular area on the bodyand.

Where does psoriasis come from - causes

The main causes of psoriasis include a genetic predisposition. Other factors such asand:

• streptococcal infection,
.
• stress,
.
• cigarette smoking,
.
• obesity,
.
• alcohol consumption,
.

The causes of psoriatic lesions are errors in skin and epidermal cell differentiation and abnormalities in the innate and acquired cutaneous immune response, which is associated with inflammation. Both of these mechanisms overlap, mutually amplifying their adverse effects on the patientand.

Forms of psoriasis

There are many forms of psoriasis and although they all have a similar mechanism, they can be triggered by changes in different genes .

Dermatitis

Dermatitis is one of the most common skin diseases in the world. Although the changes are visible just on the skin, according to research they can affect the functioning of the entire body and internal organs. This is why psoriasis is increasingly being classified as a systemic disease rather than strictly dermatologicaland.

Pustular psoriasis

Pustular psoriasis most commonly affects the hands and feet. It manifests as yellow pustules that appear on a patch of erythema. This type of psoriasis can also take a generalised form, in which case the erythema and pustules can attack the surface of the whole body. The patient gets a fever and often requires hospitalisationand.

Pustular psoriasis

This form of psoriasis has many names: droplet, papular or fine-needle. All these terms describe skin lesions resembling reddened tiny infiltrates (quasi-dots) or papules. It often appears in children, but also affects adults. Its occurrence may be related to a streptococcal throat infectionand.

Plaque psoriasis

Plaque psoriasis is also called ordinary, as it is the most common and can be said to be classic form of psoriasis. It is characterised by red patches surrounded by a lighter ring (called a Voronoff ring). A white layer of keratinised and scaly skin forms on the surface of the erythematous skin. This can resemble the appearance of fish scalesand.

The lesions in plaque psoriasis most commonly appear on the trunk, extremities (especially knees and elbows) and scalp. Less commonly, they affect the face, hands and feetand.

Inverted psoriasis

Inverted psoriasis is also referred to as flexural psoriasis because the affected areas are usually the 'folds' of the body, such as the armpits, groin, junction of the buttocks and even the bends of the elbows . Another name for this type of psoriasis is exudative psoriasis.

The feature of this form of psoriasis is the absence of white scaly skin cells. The lesions are red and slightly shinyand.

Nail psoriasis

Nail psoriasis can occur together with or as the only symptom of skin psoriasis. It is estimated that around 80% of patients with skin psoriasis will also develop the nail formand.

If the disease attacks the nail matrix, the symptoms will be pitting and unevenness in the nail plate and the appearance of white spots or stripes on the nails (known as leukonychia) . If, on the other hand, it occupies the nail bed, it will lead to separation of the nail plate from the nail bed, excessive keratosis of the nails and a change in colour to yellow .

Nail psoriasis, due to its location, is one of the most difficult forms of this disease to treat .

Arthritic psoriasis

Psoriatic arthritis (Psoriatic arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, Latin  psoriatic arthritis) affects approximately 20% of patients with skin psoriasis. However, as studies have shown, the genes responsible for the occurrence of these two conditions do not completely overlapand.

In the majority of patients (68%), psoriatic skin lesions are the first to present, but occasionally psoriatic arthritis may be the first to present .

The disease is characterised by chronic inflammation of the tendons, ligaments and joint capsules. The symptoms are very similar to rheumatoid arthritis (RA), so the diseases can be confused with each other - especially if Psoriasis occurs first, before skin psoriasisand.

The main distinguishing feature of psoriatic arthritis, however, is the absence of rheumatoid factor (RF), which is found in RA. An increase in its concentration in the body will be shown by appropriate blood tests. In addition, psoriatic arthritis often affects joints that do not have much synovial fluid - for example, the interphalangeal jointsand. Tendon attachments are also characteristically involved, which translates into pain in the heels, spine and where the ribs join the sternum .

The condition is usually mild and may affect one joint or more. It is also quite typical for the whole finger to be involved - both joints and tendons and soft tissues. The finger is then swollen, painful and clearly distinguishable from fingers not affected by the diseaseand.

In severe psoriatic arthritis, joint surfaces and even parts of the bones can be destroyedand.

Along with psoriatic arthritis there are often other diseases that can either follow chronic inflammation going on in the body or present as one of the symptoms of psoriatic arthritis. Comorbidities includeand:

• gout gout,
.
• conjunctivitis or uveitis,
.
• atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases,
.

.

Bone psoriasis

Bone psoriasis is actually the psoriatic arthritis described above, which has taken over the bone tissue in addition to the joint surfaces and led to its degradation. In addition, chronic inflammation, or an abnormal immune system response, also affects bone metabolism, which can lead to osteoporosisand.

Symptoms of psoriasis

Psoriasis is most commonly manifested by red, blotchy lesions on the elbows, knees, scalp or other areas of the body. The surface of the red patches is covered by a layer of white, keratinised epidermis that peels off. In addition, yellowing and delamination of the nail plate may occur. Twenty per cent of patients also develop psoriatic arthritisand.

Initial symptoms of psoriasis

The first symptoms of psoriasis are usually heavily reddened and slightly thickened patches on the skin that itch or hurt. A so-called  primary lesion appears, which is a maroon lump whose top layer begins to be covered by silvery-white, scaly skinand. In addition, psoriasis can be helped to diagnose other specific symptoms described below.

Koebner's sign

The Koebner (Köbner) symptom is that in the active phase of psoriasis, any trauma to the epidermis (e.g. a scratch, a minor cut) causes psoriatic lesions to form in the damaged area within a few days. This symptom does not occur during remission of the diseaseand. Interestingly, Koebner's symptom can also occur with other dermatoses (skin conditions).

Auspitz symptom

Auspitz symptom is the occurrence of pinpoint bleeding after the patient scrapes off plaques of scaly skin. The blood appears due to the much shallower location of blood vessels in the areas of skin affected by psoriatic lesionsand.

Stearin candle symptom

Stearin candle symptom occurs when fragments of keratinised epidermis are scraped off, but shallow enough to avoid bleeding. When this happens, underneath the white scales, you will see a shiny layer of skin that looks like it is covered in stearin (which is a waxy vegetable fat)and.

How to treat psoriasis?

The form of treatment for psoriasis depends on the severity of its symptoms. For mild forms, topical treatment with glucocorticosteroids, derivatives vitamin D and phototherapy is often sufficient. More severe forms, with more extensive lesions or comorbidities, may require systemic treatmentand.

A 2019 scientific paper reports several studies that suggest that in some cases of droplet and plaque psoriasis, a positive therapeutic effect may be given by excision of the tonsils. However, this is not a common practice, although 87% of people undergoing this procedure found it cost-effectiveand.

A review of 2017 studies instead focused on examining the effect of supplementation with omega-3 acids on the course of psoriasis. In some of the studies cited, they were given to participants as an adjunct to standard drug therapy. Most dealt with oral supplementation of omega-3 fatty acids, but in one they were given as intravenous infusions.

Although the results are inconclusive (several experiments failed to achieve clinically significant improvement), most studies suggest a positive effect of omega-3 fatty acids on the course of psoriasis, resulting in relief of pruritus and inflammation and a decrease in the surface area of skin lesionsand.

Medicines for psoriasis

First-line drugs are topical preparations containing corticosteroids and vitamin D analogues. Preparations that remove dead skin are also important. These are often supplemented with ointments and creams that form an occlusive layer on the skin - to further protect the sensitive areaand.

For this purpose, the most common applications are:

• keratolytic substances (e.g. urea or salicylic acid), which are supposed to reduce the amount of flaky skin;
.
• glycocorticosteroids  with anti-inflammatory properties, which are also able to locally influence the body's immune response;
.
• Vitamin D derivatives (e.g. calcipotriol), which show similar effects to corticosteroids but have fewer side effects.

A topical drug that can be used to treat psoriasis is also cygnoline (also known as ditranol or anthralin). The substance has strong exfoliating properties, so it is applied to the skin for a few minutes and washed off. In addition, it has antibacterial and fungicidal effects and can promote epidermal regenerationand.

When it comes to systemic oral drugs, the most commonly used in psoriasis are acytretin (one of the retinoids) and methotrexate. In cases of severe psoriasis, also used cyclosporin Aand.

Biological treatment of psoriasis

Biological treatment involves the subcutaneous or intravenous administration of antibodies and soluble receptors that block pro-inflammatory cytokines. They therefore act on the underlying mechanisms of inflammationand.

Biologic treatment has very good results, especially in moderate-to-severe psoriasis .

Phototherapy for psoriasis

Another treatment with good results is phototherapy. It uses narrow-band ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) radiation, which is safer for patients than UVA radiation. Phototherapy relieves inflammation within the irradiated lesions and accelerates the healing processand.

Diet in psoriasis

Diet can affect both the severity and frequency of symptoms and help stabilise the disease. Some foods can promote inflammation in the body, so people with psoriasis should be wary of them. Others have the opposite effect and are part of an anti-inflammatory diet.

Products that psoriasis patients should avoid are:

.
• Alcohol: Regular consumption of alcohol can lead to an increase in psoriasis symptoms. In addition, alcoholic beverages can also adversely affect the effectiveness of medications used.
• Red meat and dairy products: These are high in saturated fatty acids, which can increase inflammation in the body and thus exacerbate psoriasis symptoms.
• Sugar: Excessive consumption of sugar (including sweets and fruit with a high glycaemic index) can lead to obesity, which is one of the risk factors for psoriasis. In addition, sugar can increase inflammation in the body.
.
• Salt: High salt intake can also contribute to the severity of psoriasis symptoms. It's worth remembering that as well as the one you add to cooked food, you also eat large amounts of it in salty snacks and fast food.

On the other hand, there are many foods that can help relieve psoriasis symptoms. Here are some of them:

.
• Fish and seafood: They are rich in omega-3 acids, which have proven anti-inflammatory effects.
• Vegetables and fruits: They are a source of antioxidants and fibre, which can help reduce inflammation. Of fruits, choose those with a low glycaemic index: berries, blueberries, currants or cherries. Avoid citrus, however.
.
• Whole-grain products: They can help maintain a healthy body weight and reduce the risk of psoriasis symptoms.
• Seeds and nuts: Are rich in healthy fats and can help reduce inflammation.

coffee and psoriasis

It has been established that psoriasis sufferers should not drink coffee as it can exacerbate symptoms - this is argued by numerous articles on popular websites and even by some doctors. However, if you look at the websites of psoriasis associations and treatment centres, the opinions are no longer so clear-cut.

A 2018 study compared the severity of psoriasis symptoms in 221 patients who had not previously received treatment. It found that those consuming up to three cups of coffee a day had less severe skin lesions than patients who did not drink coffee. In contrast, those who consumed four or more cups of coffee showed significantly more severe lesionsand.

The results suggest that it is all about dose. It appears that coffee consumed in moderation should not worsen the course of the disease. However, if you are concerned about drinking this beverage, put it down or reduce your intake and watch to see if it affects your skin condition.

Bananas and psoriasis

Bananas can be a healthy addition to the diet of psoriasis sufferers, but they should not be over-consumed as they contain a lot of sugar. Despite this, they are a fruit rich in various nutrients that can benefit skin health.

Bananas are an excellent source of vitamins such as vitamin C and B6, which are essential for skin health. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect the skin from free radical damage. In turn vitamin B6 is crucial for the production of new skin cells, which can be particularly beneficial for people with psoriasis.

Bananas also contain a high amount magnesium and potassium. These minerals help to regulate inflammatory processes in the body, which can help to alleviate psoriasis symptoms.

Psoriasis or... something else?

Any unusual skin lesion should prompt you to visit a dermatologist. Only a doctor will be able to make a correct diagnosis - don't try to do it on your own. However, waiting for an appointment and prolonged uncertainty can be stressful, so here's how to tell the difference between psoriasis and other skin conditions (if this is even possible at home).

Psoriasis vs tinea pedis

It is worth noting at the outset that scalp ringworm is relatively rare. In addition, fungal lesions are different in appearance from psoriatic lesions. You already know that psoriasis is most often characterised by red, clearly demarcated lesions with a whitish, scaly surface.

With psoriasis, the centre of the lesion is usually healed, while the periphery of the lesion is the most flamed >. It forms a reddened ring of papulesand.

Dandruff versus dandruff

Although with dandruff the scalp is also itchy and flaky, the main difference is the lack of inflammation that is characteristic of psoriasis. Dandruff sufferers, therefore, do not have erythema or reddened patches on the scalp.

Psoriasis versus eczema

Till now it has been relatively straightforward, but this is where things start to get complicated. To begin with, it is worth clarifying that eczema is not actually a disease, but a syndrome of skin symptoms that accompanies various dermatological conditions.

Eczema is not a disease.

It can include redness, dryness of the skin, itching, pimples and much more. In most cases, you may not be able to tell the difference between them and the different types of psoriasis.

These are the most common types of psoriasis.

Psoriasis versus seborrhoeic dermatitis

The skin lesions in seborrhoeic dermatitis are erythematous (and therefore red) and have a layer of scaly skin on the surface. Sound familiar? Well it does. Although psoriatic areas are said to be drier, thickened and more distinct from healthy skin - let's not kid ourselves - you probably won't be able to recognise which ailment you're dealing with.

Psoriasis versus atopic dermatitis

The skin lesions in atopic dermatitis (AD) can be distinguishable from psoriasis because of where they occur. Psoriasis often affects the tops of the elbows and knees, whereas AD typically occurs in the bends of the elbows.

Unfortunately, this is just quite a generalisation, as both one disease and the other can affect completely different areas of the body.

Summary
