Understanding Psoriasis Beyond Skin Symptoms

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition that affects more than just appearance. It involves immune dysfunction that causes rapid skin cell buildup and inflammation. Many people experience red patches, silvery scales, itching, and uncomfortable skin thickening. Psoriasis flare-ups often recur despite years of creams or temporary medications. Scalp, nails, and joints may also be affected in long-term cases. Stress, food sensitivities, infections, and hormonal imbalance can worsen symptoms. Environmental toxins may silently contribute to persistent skin inflammation. Gut health plays a major role in immune-related skin conditions like psoriasis. When digestion is weak, skin healing becomes difficult. Nutrient deficiencies often go unnoticed but strongly impact recovery. Emotional pressure can trigger flare-ups without visible warning signs. Sleep disturbance worsens skin immunity and inflammation. Psoriasis may be linked to hidden internal inflammation. It should never be treated as a surface-level issue alone.
