Causes of Psoriasis

Skin psoriasis is a chronic disease wherein the cells of the immune system of the body mistakenly attack the body’s skin cells. Normally, the skin cells are replaced every 28 to 30 days but in the case of psoriasis disease, new cells grow and build up on the surface of the skin every 3 to 4 days. This rapid build-up of new cells creates silvery scales of psoriasis on the skin. Some of the factors that are believed to trigger psoriasis disease are:

Stress

Throat & Skin Infection

Certain Medication

Injury or Surgery

Cold and dry weather

Excessive intake of alcohol
and smoking

Types of Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a condition that can show up in several ways. It can affect different parts of the body, including the joints and nails. Multiple types of psoriases can be found. Psoriasis, for instance, might start on your skin and progress to your nails later.

    : This type of psoriasis is often triggered by a bacterial infection and appears as small, pinkish-red spots on the skin. It commonly affects children and young adults.
  • Pustular Psoriasis

    : This type of psoriasis is characterized by the formation of pus-filled blisters on the skin, which can be painful and cause fever and chills. It can occur anywhere on the body, but it's most commonly found on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet.

Conventional treatments for Psoriasis

There are many conventional treatments for psoriasis ranging from topical treatments, coal tar shampoos, and salicylic acid for mild psoriasis, to ultraviolet light, phototherapy for psoriasis, light therapy for psoriasis, UVB phototherapy, and excimer lasers for moderate to severe psoriasis.

Homeopathy Treatment results

Psoriasis is an auto-immune condition where body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own skin cells. This results in a rapid growth of cells, leading to psoriasis. Our doctors identify psoriasis based on visible signs and symptoms, patients’ medical history and upon examination of the lesions. Additionally, to confirm the diagnosis, Dr Batra’s® has introduced India’s first 3D imaging device. The 3D device can show your response to a psoriasis treatment as well as the improvement in your condition much before it is visible to the naked eye. This therefore saves both time and money.

Rajesh is happy with the psoriasis treatment at Dr Batra’s. There is no sign of recurrence of the disease after treatment.

Sangeeta Nair visited us 2 years back. She was tensed due to a skin problem known as psoriasis. She tried many things to get rid of the ugly patches on her skin. She met skin specialists, dermatologists and visited several clinics. Applied creams and lotions, but the results were not long-lasting and patches reappeared within few months.

Within 1 month of taking psoriasis treatment at Dr Batra’s, she found changes and hence she continued taking homeopathic medicines for long-lasting results.
