Psoriasis Treatment in Bandar Sri Sendayan
Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that causes red, scaly, and inflamed patches on the skin. It occurs when the immune system triggers an overproduction of skin cells, leading to excessive buildup. At U.n.i Klinik Bandar Sri Sendayan we provide psoriasis treatments that suits your skin to help manage symptoms and improve your quality of life.
Types of Psoriasis
Psoriasis can present in different forms, and recognizing the type is crucial for effective treatment. Common types include:
Plaque Psoriasis
The most common form, causing raised, red patches covered with silvery-white scales.
Guttate Psoriasis
Small, pink, drop-shaped spots that often appear after infections like strep throat.
Inverse Psoriasis
Smooth, red lesions in skin folds such as under the breasts, around the groin, and under the arms.
Pustular Psoriasis
White pustules (blisters filled with pus) surrounded by inflamed skin, often appearing on the hands and feet.
Erythrodermic Psoriasis
A severe, rare form that causes widespread redness, peeling, and pain, often requiring immediate medical attention.
Causes and Triggers of Psoriasis
Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition, meaning the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy skin cells. While the exact cause is unknown, several factors can trigger flare-ups, including —
Genetics
A family history of psoriasis increases the likelihood of developing the condition.
Immune System
An overactive immune system accelerates skin cell turnover, leading to plaques and inflammation.
Infections
Bacterial or viral infections, such as strep throat, may lead to flare-ups, especially in guttate psoriasis.
Skin Injuries
Cuts, burns, or insect bites can trigger psoriasis lesions (Koebner phenomenon).
