August is Psoriasis Awareness month and is used as an opportunity to educate and inform sufferers on a range of topics varying from treatment, causes, triggers and management of the inflammatory and often irritating disease.
The cause of psoriasis is still unknown but specialists do know that it is largely affected by the immune system and genetics. Affecting men and women, all races and all ages, the disease can display on a variety of body parts at any given time. Learning to successfully manage treatment can take a long period of time but there are many ways in which the disease can be controlled and treated.
Whether you chose to do this via medication, holistic, complementary and alternative approaches, dietary control or lifestyle choices is down to each individual.
The National Psoriasis Foundation website has lots of useful information to guide you.
