Le psoriasis est une maladie auto-immune affectant les couches de la peau. Le psoriasis acc\u00e9l\u00e8re la cr\u00e9ation de nouvelles cellules cutan\u00e9es, passant de 28-30\u00a0jours \u00e0 3-4\u00a0jours. En acc\u00e9l\u00e9rant ce processus, le psoriasis ne permet pas aux cellules plus \u00e2g\u00e9es de la peau d\u2019\u00eatre excr\u00e9t\u00e9es correctement, cr\u00e9ant ainsi une accumulation de cellules cutan\u00e9es en exc\u00e8s \u00e0 la surface de la peau. Cette accumulation de cellules de la peau se traduit par des plaques de peau sur\u00e9lev\u00e9es, rouges et squameuses appel\u00e9es l\u00e9sions. Le psoriasis se manifeste g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement \u00e0 la surface du cuir chevelu, des genoux, des coudes et du torse, mais il peut se manifester sur tout le corps. Selon les recherches et les donn\u00e9es les plus actuelles, le psoriasis est maintenant compris comme une maladie <\/span>non contagieuse<\/b>, chronique, inflammatoire, auto-immune et pour toute la vie qui se manifeste sur la peau et les articulations avec des complications associ\u00e9es.<\/span><\/p>\n

Que dois-je faire lorsque des sympt\u00f4mes apparaissent?<\/span><\/h3>\n
Demandez l\u2019avis de votre m\u00e9decin de famille qui pourra vous diriger vers un dermatologue (un m\u00e9decin sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9 dans le diagnostic et le traitement des troubles de la peau). Le diagnostic du psoriasis est souvent facile, car il pr\u00e9sente des sympt\u00f4mes visibles, mais votre dermatologue peut vous demander de subir une biopsie cutan\u00e9e ou une radiographie pour confirmer un diagnostic. \u00c0 l\u2019heure actuelle, il n\u2019existe aucun rem\u00e8de contre le psoriasis, mais il existe plusieurs options de traitements efficaces. De nombreux patients diagnostiqu\u00e9s avec le psoriasis sont capables de vivre une vie compl\u00e8tement normale, cependant, pour certains, c\u2019est une maladie d\u00e9bilitante. <\/span>L\u2019Association canadienne de dermatologie <\/span><\/a>peut vous aider \u00e0 trouver un dermatologue pr\u00e8s de chez vous.<\/span><\/p>\n

Comment puis-je pr\u00e9venir les pouss\u00e9es et g\u00e9rer le psoriasis?<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n
\n
Il existe plusieurs fa\u00e7ons de traiter le psoriasis. Les m\u00e9thodes les plus courantes sont les traitements topiques, la th\u00e9rapie par lumi\u00e8re ultraviolette et les traitements syst\u00e9miques.<\/span><\/p>\n
Les modifications apport\u00e9es \u00e0 votre style de vie peuvent \u00e9galement \u00eatre utiles\u00a0:<\/span><\/p>\n
\n
Prenez des bains quotidiens avec de l\u2019eau ti\u00e8de et des savons doux (\u00e9vitez l\u2019eau chaude)<\/span><\/li>\n
Tapotez doucement votre peau apr\u00e8s le bain (ne frottez pas)<\/span><\/li>\n
D\u00e9terminez et \u00e9liminez les choses sp\u00e9cifiques qui vous causent des pouss\u00e9es de psoriasis<\/span><\/li>\n
Limitez ou \u00e9liminez la consommation d\u2019alcool. On sait que l\u2019alcool provoque des pouss\u00e9es ou interf\u00e8re avec les traitements.<\/span><\/li>\n
Ne fumez pas! Comme l\u2019alcool, le tabagisme a \u00e9t\u00e9 li\u00e9 \u00e0 une inflammation accrue et peut interf\u00e9rer avec l\u2019efficacit\u00e9 du traitement. <\/span>Cliquez ici pour plus d\u2019informations<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease affecting the layers of the skin. Psoriasis speeds up the creation of new skin cells from 28-30 days to 3-4 days. By speeding up this process, psoriasis doesn\u2019t allow older skin cells to be shed properly therefore creating a build-up of excess skin cells at the surface of the skin. This build-up of skin cells results in raised, red, scaly patches of skin called lesions. Psoriasis commonly manifests on the surface of your scalp, knees, elbows and torso, but can be experienced all over the body. Based on the most current research and data, psoriasis is now understood as a\u00a0non-contagious<\/strong>, chronic, inflammatory, autoimmune, whole-life disease that manifests in the skin and joints with associated complications.<\/p>

What should I do when symptoms appear?<\/h3>
Seek the advice of your family physician. They may refer you to see a dermatologist (a doctor specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of skin disorders). Diagnosing psoriasis is often easy as it has visible symptoms, but your dermatologist may require you to undergo a skin biopsy or x-ray to confirm a diagnosis.\u00a0Currently, there is no cure for psoriasis, but there are several effective treatment options. Many patients diagnosed with psoriasis are able to live completely normal lives, however, for some it is a debilitating disease. The\u00a0 Canadian Dermatology Association\u00a0<\/a>can assist in locating a dermatologist near you.

How can I prevent flare ups and manage psoriasis moving\u00a0forward?<\/h3>
