By Yolanda Smith, BPharm
The exact cause of psoriasis is not well understood, but it is generally accepted that there are a number of factors that may contribute to an individual’s susceptibility to the condition and trigger symptoms. It is not a communicable condition and cannot be passed on from an infected patient to another person.
Immune System
An abnormality in the immune system is thought to be the primary reason for the symptoms of psoriasis. The T-cells are usually responsible for the detection and destruction of bacteria and other infections in the body, but direct their action towards the healthy skin cell sin patients with psoriasis.
