Psoriasis is a chronic, autoimmune disease that appears on the skin. It occurs when the immune system sends out faulty signals that speed up the growth cycle of skin cells. Psoriasis is not contagious.
Psoriasis commonly occurs as red, scaly patches on the skin, although some patients have no dermatological symptoms. The scaly patches caused by psoriasis, called psoriasis plaques, are areas of inflammation and excessive skin production. Skin rapidly accumulates at these sites and takes on a silvery – white appearance. Plaques frequently occur on the skin of the elbows and knees but can affect any area including the scalp, palms of hands and soles of feet, an aspect of the joint.
According to Ayurveda, Psoriasis is regarded as Ekakushta, a type of kshudra Kushta. This is a curable skin disease.
Psoriasis can be considered as the vitiation of Vata and Kapha. Irregular food habits, consumption of incompatible food, excessive intake of yogurt, black gram, seafood, sour and salted items etc. can activate the pathogenesis.
