Chances are you are familiar with the term ‘antibiotic resistance’ but what about topical steroid resistance? Yes, it is a thing, and here is what you need to know…
Stress is a well-documented trigger AND comorbidity of many skin conditions including psoriasis, eczema, rosacea and acne. But stress is very much a subjective term. Learning what it is that your mind and/or body finds stressful is the key to managing your flares and the answer might surprise you…
In modern times, Stress has become our number one health enemy. Stress has become ubiquitous, and its effects often remain hidden, manifesting only in subtle symptoms at first. But, make no mistake; it can lead to enormous health issues down the line.
Can’t fall asleep.. my mind is too active! Does this sound familiar? How about ‘I woke up and I can’t go back to sleep!’… or tossing and turning all night?.. or ‘scratching my itchy skin is keeping me awake!’
Stress has very much become a part of life with most of us functioning under moderate to very high stress most of the time during our working lives. The impacts of significant stress are far-reaching and affect all aspects of human health.
Rosacea is a condition affecting the face where the skin becomes persistently red, often with visible tiny blood vessels and acne-like bumps and pimples. There may be intermittent burning, stinging or mild itching.
Vitiligo is the most common of depigmentation disorders. It is an acquired pigmentation disorder of the skin and mucous membranes, in which there is a loss of melanocytes or pigmentation, producing irregular white spots and or white patches.
There are many types of eczema. The condition can occur on any part of the body and results in inflammation of the skin with itching. Sometimes dryness and scaling, weeping, blistering and thickening of the skin may be seen.
This time of year, many people may feel overwhelmed and exhausted following the build up to Christmas and New Year festivities. Facing the prospect of returning to very busy, high demand lives can be unnerving.
Stress is an intrinsic part of living in today’s world. There are times when we all go through acute phases of stress that are relatively short lived, and somewhat manageable as we know that it will pass.
It has been established in recent years that the skin is a direct target of psychological stress via a cascade of hormones, neuropeptides, and neurogenic signals (causing nerve hypersensitivity and inflammation).
Over recent years psoriasis has been classified as a systemic chronic inflammatory disorder and has been linked with several diseases and conditions that are also immune-mediated inflammatory conditions.
A study found that cerebral (brain) vascular disease and peripheral arterial disease was also significantly more likely to be diagnosed in patients with psoriasis than in controls. 1 Cerebral vascular diseases are conditions that are caused by problems that affect the blood supply to the brain
Itch (Pruritus) is an important but underestimated symptom in psoriasis. However, there is limited published research data available on both its prevalence and characteristics.
Fatigue is a common and often disabling symptom that occurs in patients with chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, cancer, neurological diseases and a number of other conditions in which inflammation and/or cellular stress occurs.
The patient with psoriasis has an increased risk of developing one or more of a number of other diseases/conditions that share many immunological features with psoriasis.
