Bra straps, Clocks, and the Too Tight Belts Can Trigger Psoriasis

As a former ski instructor , Richard O'Connor , rarely seriously injured . But when he was 45 years old he moved frequently mangalami rash and itching when sliding on the steep lerang . Complaints about unexpected health bothering him for two years and a half . Apparently the cause trivial ." I 've been skiing since I was four and still to this day about 2 times a year , " says Richard .He spent the whole day on steep slopes " I often lean forward boots , and I often bruised shin , " explains Richard ." But while skiing in Verbier , in March 2011, the skin on my left shin has also become very red and sore . When I go home red skin is getting worse , " sighed Richard .Richard said that because it was made could not ski well . After trying to defuse the situation with moisturizers and creams containing aloe vera , Richard went to the doctor . Poorer he affected by psoriasis ." I've never had psoriasis before , but the doctor told me trauma to the skin can trigger it , " said Richard .Psoriasis is a common skin condition that affects about 2 percent of the population of about 600,000 people . This is largely due to genetic factors , and occurs when T cells and other immune cells mistakenly attack healthy skin . This triggers the production of new skin cells is not fair . Dead skin cells build up on the skin thick , scaly , causing flaking and itching .
Well , psoriosis triggered by a belt, rope or strap bra that is too tight . Those affected by psoriasis may have a long period in which their skin looked normal , but certain triggers can push this condition . Psoriosis can also occur due to stress , alcohol , some drugs , such as beta blockers , ACE inhibitors ( commonly used for conditions of high blood pressure and heart ) and ibuprofen . Flare - ups can also be triggered by an injury to the skin .
This is known as Koebnerisation or Koebner response . It is so called because it was first described in the 19th century by a German dermatologist Heinrich Koebner , which saw a new psoriasis patients had lesions on the skin area that is bitten by a horse . Psoriasis can also occur for the first time when the skin is damaged .
Griffiths , professor of dermatology at the University of Manchester and a leading authority on psoriasis said no one can say for sure why it happens , but there are believed to release certain chemicals in the upper layers of the skin when the trauma , which stimulates developing psoriasis in a person . Their skin may look normal , but when exposed to stress or trauma may exacerbate psoriasis and look at the skin . As quoted by the Daily Mail , Sunday ( 15/12/2013 ) .
" Psoriasis is an unpredictable disease and you can not always predict when it will relapse or lost , " said Prof. Griffths .
In some people the pressure of a tight belt , strap or bra straps that are too tight can cause psoriasis . Nail scratches or bruises even light can trigger it , according to Adam Friedmann , a consultant dermatologist at the Dermatology Clinic of Harley Street .
The researchers conducted tests to check various markers , such as the patient's genes , and the immune system . It will be used to get the most effective drug for the individual .
" Psoriasis is most common disease , " adds Dr. Friedmann . If the injury to the skin is a very traumatic experience , stress can trigger a response not only at the site of injury , but also in other places in the body .
The relationship between psoriasis and stress is not exactly understood , but it is thought to have come from the fact that the skin and nervous system are closely related . In fact , it is estimated the reason psoriasis often appears in a symmetrical pattern on the opposite leg .
Koebner treatment for psoriasis is the same as for traditional psoriasis is a simple moisturizing cream descaling skin and vitamin D ( which slows the production of skin cells and also has anti - inflammatory effects ) , as well as steroid creams . In more severe cases , patients may be given phototherapy in which the skin is exposed to ultraviolet rays , which destroy skin cells . Patients can also be treated with systemic medications to reduce the activity of the immune system .
