Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin condition which causes a range of symptoms, including itching, and flaky, scaly patches on the skin. These may also be red, and more prone to breaks; leading in turn to bleeding. In rarer cases, pustules may also form, particularly if the affected area becomes infected during a flare-up.

The condition is a chronic one, and will go through periods of activity and dormancy. It will usually appear in someone who has it before they reach the age of 35, but it can appear later than this. It is still unclear why the condition occurs or what causes it, but it is thought to be an autoimmune problem. Someone who has psoriasis will generally produce skin cells at a faster rate than someone who doesn’t, leading to excess skin cells which flake off and cause irritation when they rise to the surface.

Several triggers are thought to be contributing factors in a flare-up, but these will tend to vary from person to person. More common triggers include smoking, stress, the excessive consumption of alcohol, a change in hormone levels, or a skin injury. The condition can also be initiated by medication. The most common areas affected by psoriasis are the elbows and knees, the scalp and the lower back.

When treating the condition, a doctor will first assess the severity of symptoms present before deciding on a course of action. In cases where symptoms are mild to moderate, they may issue a topical cream such as Modrasone to help get a reactivation under control. The functioning constituent in this topical cream is a substance called alclometasone dipropionate, which is a corticosteroid. Medicines such as this one work by inhibiting the activity of a chemical released by the immune system, which can induce inflammation in the area affected and cause symptoms.
