Psoriasis Allergy
is this psoriasis or eczema?
I had very bad eczema right after I was born and I guess it went away, around age 12 I got a tiny coin shaped patch of something on both my ankles, and two larger patches of whatever this was on the back of my knee and the back of my neck, the doctor took a biopsy but didnt seem to determine the cause, I never treated these things and the one on my neck went away naturally while the one on my knee decreased in size and now looks like a scar, as do the two on my ankles, they are not raised, they are not red, they do not itch, currently they look like discolored skin. The only reason I ask is because my aunt had bad psoriasis, although she is the only one of my relatives that has ever gotten it and it doesnt seem to run in my family. I should also mention that i have allergies and mild asthma which seem connected to chronic eczema but i want to be sure.
Without seeing a picture of it, it's impossible to tell you, as basing the diagnosis on the distribution is a risky way to diagnose skin disorders.
Are Airborne Allergies behind Your Psoriasis?
We certainly do live in a world that is constantly combating us in one way or another. Even the natural environment that is around us can at times fight against us through the introduction of airborne allergies.
These airborne allergies can come from a number of different sources which range from natural pollen coming off of trees and various plants to different chemicals that are put into the house that we may not even recognize is giving us a problem. One of the main problems that occurs from these types of things happens on the skin.
Why is that?
Of all of the different organs in the body, the skin is the one that is exposed to the outside environment alone. All of our other internal organs are affected by the environment to some degree or another, but it is our skin that has the constant bombardment of these airborne allergens. It's little wonder then that people end up with skin disorders, such as psoriasis.
Although it is understood that psoriasis is a genetic problem in many cases, there are plenty of people who have these genes in their body but are able to overcome the problem without ever having psoriasis in the first place. One of the main factors in that is avoiding the environmental issues which trigger the psoriasis episodes.
If you had to deal with psoriasis and airborne allergies are the culprit, there is very little that you can do in order to avoid those allergies. There are a few things you can do, however, to limit your exposure to a certain extent without limiting the quality of life that you are leading.
For example, running a high quality air filter in your bedroom at night is going to go a long way in helping you to avoid much of the pollen that is in the air in the room. It would also benefit you if you made sure that you shampoo your hair on a nightly basis using a natural shampoo so that all of the pollen that is contained in your hair does not come in contact with your scalp through the night.
It may take a little bit of work on your part in order to avoid as much of the airborne allergens as possible. That work, however, will be beneficial to you on a number of different levels, especially considering the fact that you may be able to overcome psoriasis as a result of it.
