Guest guest Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Phototherapy for Psoriasis One glance at the thermometer and there's no getting around it -- summer is here! And while scorching temperatures and high humidity can put a damper on summer fun for some, for psoriasis patients the hot, moist weather may be just what the doctor ordered! " In general, people with psoriasis do better in summer for two main reasons -- No. 1, there's greater humidity, which helps keep the skin moist, and No. 2, there's more sunlight exposure, " says Bruce Strober, MD, director of the Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis Center at NYU Medical Center. According to the National Psoriasis Foundation, psoriasis develops when the regular system of cell turnover goes awry. Normally, skin cells are shed every 28 to 30 days and immediately replaced by new ones. In psoriasis patients, however, this process is speeded up dramatically, with cell turnover occurring as quickly as every two to three days. This, say experts, causes a kind of biological " traffic jam, " causing old, dry skin cells to literally pile up on one another, forming the characteristic plaques. When the air is humid, Strober tells WebMD, the skin is better able to retain moisture, which is key to easing those dry plaques. Moreover, he says, since UVA is a recommended treatment for psoriasis, the natural UVA rays of summer sun can be therapeutic. That said, experts also tell us there are some summer precautions psoriasis patients need to heed. Among them, a reminder not to overdo time in the sun no matter how much you think it can help. " You do not need excessive sun exposure to effectively treat psoriasis -- 30 minutes per day of natural sunlight is more than adequate -- and overdoing it could cause significant problems, not only increasing your risk of skin cancer, but sometimes making your psoriasis worse, " says Strober. That's because even a slight sun burn, says Strober, can damage the skin. And that not only worsens psoriasis plaques but can also cause new ones to develop. " Essentially, sunburn can cause normal skin to turn into psoriasis skin because of the direct damage to skin cells, " says Ellen Marmur, MD, chief of dermatologic and cosmetic surgery at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City. Experts say a unique aspect of psoriasis known as the Koebner phenomenon also plays a role. In this instance, any break in the skin or damage to skin cells can exacerbate that rapid cell turnover, causing new plaques to develop at the site of the damage. Experts say excessive sun exposure, which can cause sunburn, can do that kind of damage. Maybe the National Psoriasis Foundation can give you some more accurate information. Dead Sea water, my ___s!

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Michele, Actually dead sea spa visits are a well known psoriasis treatment and very effective. It's a long story, but many of the autoimune diseases are now looking to be infections. For example, Stomach ulcers, IBD, chones, colitus, anklosing spondenitus. Instead of a crazy runaway immune response it appears to be a pretty normal immune response to chronic infection. For example, 15% of hep c folks have a skin disease which is way too high and they find the hcv in the psoriasis areas at high levels. Bad gut bacteria and strep seem to be the biggies for the autoimune diseases. In psoriasis which I have some moderate on my legs the dead skin is food for buggs so you get low level infection which makes it hard for the spots to heal. The sun kills bad stuff in the skin and the super salty water kills surface pathogens. This does not remove the cause if it still exists in the gut or the respritory system but it does usually significantly improve and sometimes cure psoriasis. When pustular psoriasis patients remove bad tonsils infected by strep 88% significanly improve or are cured. Not what you would expect if it was a skin growth out of control problem. Long term antibiotics are very effective as well because strep is often antibiotic resistant and hard to kill. Do you have autoimune problems? Thought you may have mentioned but can't remember.
