Evidence shows that psoriasis is linked to two processes. One is the process of inflammation, which causes dilation of the blood vessels and the redness typical of psoriasis, and the other is the increased production of new skin cells in the epidermis.
Despite the fact that psoriasis cannot be cured, there are various treatments which will slow the rate at which the cells multiply and ease the inflammation. Suitable creams and ointments can greatly reduce the patches in most of the mild to moderate cases.
Excess weight increases the risk of psoriasis outbreaks. Abstinence from alcoholic beverages may help some patients. The skin should be protected from blows which may stimulate local development of lesions. Irritations such as plucking the eyebrows, soap collecting under rings, wearing shoes which are too tight or shaving the legs with a dull razor blade should be avoided.
