Does your skin itch? Do you have red, dry patches covered with fine white scales?
It could be psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory skin disease that often causes daily discomfort.
In its mild to moderate forms, psoriasis can be effectively managed with topical treatments, prescribed or recommended by a healthcare professional.
During flare-ups, as in everyday life, the regular application of emollient and moisturizing treatments plays a key role: they help reduce skin dryness, diminish scaly patches, soothe itching and strengthen the weakened skin barrier.
Blue Skincare experts support you with their dermocosmetic advice to support your skin on a daily basis and live better with psoriasis.
Psoriasis: definition and causes
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that causes accelerated skin cell turnover. Dead cells accumulate on the skin's surface to form thick, scaly patches, usually red or silvery in color.
Although the exact cause of psoriasis is still poorly understood, it is believed to be linked to genetic and immunological factors. An abnormal immune response stimulates skin cells to multiply, resulting in psoriasis plaques.
Moreover, there is not one, but severaltypes of psoriasis, each with distinct characteristics.
Which population is most affected by psoriasis?
THEPsoriasis affects approximately 2 to 3% of the world's population, regardless of gender or age. It is more common in adults, often between the ages of 15 and 35, although it can appear at any age.
Although psoriasis particularly affects genetically predisposed individuals, it can also manifest itself following various triggering factors:
- Repeated rubbing
- Significant stress
- A trauma
- A skin injury
- An emotional shock
- An infection, such as a bacterial sore throat
- Taking certain medications, such as beta-blockers or lithium
- Exposure to sun, cold or pollution

Psoriasis can make skin more vulnerable to external aggressions. It's therefore important to protect it with moisturizing and repairing creams, and to avoid exposure to cold, heat, or pollution.
