Severity of psoriasis linked to increased risk of death
Psoriasis is a disease of the immune system in which inflammation causes skin cells to multiply faster than normal. Because there are so many of them, they cause raised, red patches covered by silvery scales when they reach the surface of the skin and die. It occurs most commonly on the scalp, knees, elbows, hands, and feet, but can also appear on the lower back, face, genitals, nails, and other places. The American Academy of Dermatology estimates psoriasis affects about 7.5 million Americans.
"It's well established that psoriasis is associated with an increased risk for other comorbidities like chronic kidney disease , diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, but we don't yet understand how the severity of psoriasis impacts future risk of major health problems," said the study's senior author Joel M. Gelfand, MD MSCE, a professor of Dermatology and Epidemiology at Penn.
For this study, Gelfand and his team used a metric called Body Surface Area (BSA) - literally a measurement of the percentage of the body covered by psoriasis. Using a database from the United Kingdom, they looked at 8,760 patients with psoriasis and 87,600 people without it. They sent surveys to the patient's general practitioners to determine the body surface area affected by psoriasis as this information is not routinely available in medical records. They then looked at the number of deaths in each group by person-years, a measure that combines the number of people with the amount of years of data on them in the database.
Treatment for psoriasis on the face?
I've had psoriasis on my face for 4-5 years and I've just used lotion on it and it worked well. I've used a few different ones and I found one that really worked well , but lately it seems like it hasn't been working as well. Its lubriderm advanced therapy.
I have been dealing with psoriasis for 32 years and the best medication that I have used is Dermarest from Wal-Mart for $6. Believe me I have tried all the expensive medications and this works better.
Unpredictable and irritating, psoriasis
Psoriasis rarely affects the face.
Probably you were misdiagnosed.
Often "Rosacea" is the diagnosis.
Seek Rx from MD.
