Psoriasis Causes Food
I have a friend with a skin condition called psoriasis who scratches constantly shedding skin flakes.?
I don't want to hurt her feelings but it is all over her hands, yes she goes to Dr. last time we went out to eat she scratches constantly and the flakes were going into her food. I was mortified, couldn't eat etc. She cooks dishes and no one eats them. Well because we all know about the flakes. How do you tell this person without hurting her feelings? Oh and let me add wants to get into hot tub which leaves skin flakes all over the tub, which my other friend ends up having to drain every time she is over and clean. Mind you this women is very sensitive as it is, and is so poor me. I want to hear this one folks. Cause I have no idea.
Eric I thought with no one eatting her food or getting in the tub but her she might catch on, but nope. some take some of her food in plate and toss it which I think is wrong
Assuming she is being properly treated by a dermatologist, You may have to bite the bullet and be honest with her, one on one. Maybe disguise it a little by saying you are concerned for her because all that scratching can lead to an infection. That will bring up the topic. I think it will be much worse if she finds out everyone is making fun of or being grossed out by her behind her back.
As far as the hot tub, I don't really have an answer. I mean if you guys are in the tub with her why is cleaning it after-wards so gross. Well, that is a pain, and a lot of water to replace each time. Maybe when shes over nobody gets in the hot tub.
If you get a few more replies that make sense to you too, maybe just show her this thread and see what happens.
I feel for you and your situation, but friendships are strong.
Hope it helps.
Psoriasis Is The Result Of A Disordered Immune System
Psoriasis is a common skin disease that affects the life cycle of skin cells. It is a chronic, non-contagious disease characterized by inflamed hyper proliferative lesions covered with silvery-white scabs of dead skin. Psoriasis is a debilitating skin condition that can affect the elbows, knees, scalp, lower back, face and indeed, any part of the body.
Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that many people suffer from all their lives. In fact, it's estimated that four to seven million Americans are diagnosed with psoriasis each year. No one is really sure what causes this problem, but it is highly probable that there are some genetic components involved in it.
There are specific factors that are believed to cause the problem. They are stress, excessive alcohol consumption and smoking. Obviously if you want to determine if these things are the problem, you should stop doing them right now. If you do this and after a significant amount of time the problem starts to progressively disappear than you effectively figured out the problem.
Is Psoriasis Contagious?
Psoriasis is not contagious though, because it's believed to be a problem created from your body's own immune system. And since psoriasis is caused by something in your own immune system, you cannot pass the condition on to others. It is believed to be a genetic condition in which the immune system is somehow mistakenly triggered and because of this, skin cells are produced very rapidly.
Now if you develop psoriasis due to one of the common triggers such as a severe illness or infection, that illness or infection can of course be passed on to others. But not everyone develops psoriasis when a contagious disease or illness is caught, so the psoriasis itself is not contagious, but the underlying factors which cause you to develop psoriasis could be.
Psoriasis Treatments
When it comes to the cures for psoriasis there are many natural alternatives that work wonders. The oils that are found in tea tree oil have been shown to treat this extremely well. Just keep applying it on a regular basis and you should notice that it will clear up.
There are a number of different treatment options available to help relieve your psoriasis symptoms ranging from prescription medication to simple home remedies. The only way to really know what is going to work best for you is to try a treatment option and monitor your results. You should consult a dermatologist before attempting to diagnose and /or treat any kind of skin disorder.
One thing I would like to highlight is that human body can actually heal itself. One of the reasons why one is having seemingly incurable disease might be due to the fact that body is unable to cure itself anymore. Day to day environmental pollution, unhealthy food intake and unhealthy lifestyle can significantly damage the human body ability to heal itself.
Keep in mind that there is no "cure" for psoriasis. There is no pill you can take or treatment you can get that will make it go away and never come back. There are however natural remedies that can effectively treat the symptoms without the risk of harsh side effects.
Keep your psoriasis area open to air and don't allow jewelry or tight clothing to press against it. Stay of away from harsh chemicals sprays and liquid irritants.
There is another herb that appears to be an excellent psoriasis treatment. It's called mahonia quifolium and is better known as Oregon grape or holly-leaved barberry, which is a natural plant extract.
