Risk factors of psoriasis disease

Anyone can develop psoriasis disease. But listed below are some factors that can increase your risk of developing the disease.

Family history

This is one of the most significant risk factors. If one of your parents has psoriasis disease, then it increases your risk of getting the disease. And having both the parents with psoriasis disease increases your risk even more.

Viral and bacterial infections

People with HIV are more likely to develop psoriasis disease than people with healthy immune systems are. Children and young adults with recurring infections, mainly strep throat, also might be at increased risk.

Stress

Stress can influence your immune system and high-stress levels might increase your risk of psoriasis disease.

Obesity

Excess weight increases the risk of psoriasis disease. Lesions associated with all types of psoriasis disease often develop in skin crumples and bends.

Smoking

Smoking increases your risk of psoriasis disease and also might increase the severity of the psoriasis disease. Smoking might also play a role in the initial development of the psoriasis disease.

When to book an appointment

If you suspect that you might have psoriasis disease, book an appointment and see your homeopath for an examination. Consult your homeopath if your psoriasis disease causes you discomfort and pain, makes performing routine tasks difficult, causes you concern about the appearance of your skin, and leads to joint problems like pain, swelling or incapability to perform daily tasks.

Diagnosis of psoriasis disease

The homeopaths at Dr Batra's® can mostly identify psoriasis based on the visible signs and symptoms, your medical history and examination of the lesions. Moreover, Dr Batra’s® has introduced India’s first 3D imaging device for the analysis and evaluation of skin health. The powerful diagnostic machine, based on advanced optical technology and developed by scientists at Dublin (Ireland), allows the skin to be viewed in two and three dimensions and enables the multi-spectral analysis of the epidermis and dermis. A quick scan by the 3D imaging device reveals how rough the skin is, how deep the wrinkles are and the degree of redness. It can also determine the response of a specific medication. The device completely eliminates subjective analysis and allows their homeopaths to communicate the patient’s level of progress in definite terms.

Homeopathic treatment for psoriasis disease

The homeopathic therapies prescribed for psoriasis disease address the body at the immunity level and gently restore the deviation back to routine. They help to control the further progress of the psoriasis disease. Homeopathic treatment for psoriasis is preferred worldwide as it is safe and long-lasting treatment.
