Psoriasis is manifested by silvery, scaly patches that may appear anywhere on the body, but are most common on the scalp, ears, arms, legs, knees, elbows and back. It may or may not be itchy, and follows a pattern of periodic flare-ups followed by healing. Even toes and fingernails sometimes lose their luster, and develop ridges and pits. Psoriasis is sometimes associated with a form of arthritis that is difficult to treat, called psoriatic arthritis.
Normally your skin cells mature and shed every 28 to 30 days. In psoriasis, new skin develops seven to ten times faster than normal. Because your skin cells can't shed fast enough, they pile up, forming raised, scaly plaques. As the dead cells are pushed farther from the surface, they form silvery white scales over the plaques.
The exact cause of psoriasis is still not known, but certain things act as triggers, and set the stage for a flare-up. Among them are food allergies, nutritional deficiencies, climate changes, damage to the skin from dryness, local injury or sunburn, reaction to certain drugs, infections, build up of toxins in an unhealthy colon and emotional stress.
