Psoriasis: Causes, Symptoms & Homeopathic Treatment
By Dr. Ayaz Ghoghari M.D. (HOM.)
Consultant Homeopathic Physician at KD Care & Cure
Psoriasis is more than just a skin disorder—it is a chronic, often misunderstood autoimmune condition that can affect both the body and mind.
At KD Care & Cure, we approach psoriasis not only as a skin disease but as a deeper imbalance in the body’s vital force. With the power of classical homeopathy, we strive to bring lasting relief and inner healing.
What is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition in which the immune system causes skin cells to multiply at abnormal rapid rate. This buildup of skin cells leads to thick, scaly pathces that are often red, inflamed and itchy on the skin.
While it is not contagious, psoriasis is deeply rooted in immune dysfunction and is often triggered by stress, infections, climate changes, or certain medications.
Types of Psoriasis
1. Plaque Psoriasis (Psoriasis Vulgaris)
- Most common form of psoriasis, affecting 80–90% of patients.
- Symptoms: Raised, red patches with silvery-white scales; may itch or crack.
- Common areas: Elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back.
2. Inverse Psoriasis
- Affects skin folds such as under the breasts, armpits, and groin.
- Symptoms: Smooth, shiny, bright red lesions with little or no scaling.
- Aggravated by: Moisture, friction, and sweating.
3. Pustular Psoriasis
- Characterized by white pustules (non-infectious pus) on red skin.
- Can be localized (hands and feet) or generalized (life-threatening if widespread).
- Triggers include: Infections, stress, withdrawal from corticosteroids.
4. Guttate Psoriasis
- Often triggered by a bacterial infection like strep throat.
- Symptoms: Small, drop-shaped red spots, mainly on the trunk, arms, and legs.
- More common in children and young adults.
5. Psoriatic Arthritis
- A type of arthritis that occurs in people with psoriasis.
- Symptoms: Joint pain, stiffness, and swelling, often in fingers and toes.
- May cause permanent joint damage if untreated.
How Does Psoriasis Start?
The onset of psoriasis can vary from person to person. In many cases, it starts subtly—with mild scaling on the elbows, knees, or scalp. Over time, it may worsen and spread.
The condition typically follows a cycle, flaring for a few weeks or months before subsiding or going into remission.
Common triggers include:
- Emotional stress or anxiety
- Skin injuries (cuts, burns, insect bites)
- Cold, dry weather
- Throat infections (especially streptococcal)
- Excessive alcohol or smoking
- Hormonal changes
What are Symptoms of Psoriasis?
The symptoms of Psoriasis depends on the type and severnity of the condition.
- Raised, red patches of skin covered with silvery-white scales (plaque psoriasis)
- Itching, burning, or soreness in affected areas
- Dry, cracked skin that may bleed
- Thickened, pitted nails or nail discoloration
- Joint pain and stiffness (psoriatic arthritis)
This disease often affects on scalp, knees, elbows, lower back, and nails but it can appear on any part of the body also.
