The Heartbreak of Psoriasis

There are six different types of psoriasis, and none of them are pleasant. They are:

Psoriatic Arthritis: The inflammation of joints

Plaque Psoriasis: The most common, with symptoms of red raised areas and white flakes

Guttate Psoriasis: Small red spots on the skin

Pustular Psoriasis: White pustules surrounded by red skin

Inverse Psoriasis: Smooth red liaisons in the skin's fold

Erythrodermic Psoriasis: Widespread, with severe itching, pain and red abrasions

There are lots of theories about the cause of psoriasis. Some believe that psoriasis is a hereditary problem that is passed along through DNA. Others believe that psoriasis is caused by a portion of the immune system becoming overactive. Still others think it is an autoimmune disease. Some think that a psoriasis outbreak is triggered by stress. Most agree that those with exceptionally high IQs are much more likely to be afflicted with psoriasis. Benjamin Franklin suffered from psoriasis, and so did Albert Einstein.

At the present time there is no known cure for psoriasis, but the good news is that it isn't fatal. It is irritating, and it can be embarrassing, but it isn't fatal; and there are treatments for psoriasis that can help to put it into remission. People have had periods of remission that last from weeks to months to years.

The best advice about living with psoriasis as comfortably as possible is to follow your doctor's advice and directions to the letter and do NOT scratch the itchy places. When you scratch, you are helping to spread the outbreak to surrounding tissue. You can also break the skin and cause an infection to develop. So don't scratch and apply your meds as directed.

Stretch marks can wreak havoc on a woman's self-esteem, as well as with her self-confidence. We usually think of stretch marks and pregnancy in the same sentence, and it is true that pregnancy does cause stretch marks, but that is not the only cause of stretch marks. Rapid weight gain can also cause stretch marks. And men can get stretch marks, too. Men usually develop stretch marks either from rapid weight gain or from bodybuilding.

Treating Ringworm

By: Miodrag Trajkovic | 01/06/2008 | Men's Health
Ringworm has absolutely nothing to do with a worm of any kind.

Actually, doctors have known since the nineteenth century that ringworm was not caused by a worm but rather by a fungus, and yet the name remains.
