If your child has Psoriasis, there is something most parents have to know about. In this article I am going to share with you a few actions that you can take to reduce the rash in order to reduce the discomfort to the maximum.

Did you know that if one parent suffers from Psoriasis that there is a 15% chance that a child will develop the condition. If both parents have Psoriasis this percentage will increase to as much as 75%. Interestingly, if your child has Psoriasis and neither parent has it, there will be a 20% chance that a brother or sister will also contract Psoriasis, because the condition, as we know, skips generations but somewhere there will be a familial link to a relative through either or both parents.

Parents are supposed to safeguard their offspring from hazards and keep them germ-free so they live a full and happy life. It can be hard to see your kid suffer with Psoriasis. No-one can really comprehend the uncontrollable need to scratch off the flaky skin.

If your child has Psoriasis

Youngsters lack the self-control grown ups have, so it can be more difficult to keep them from scratching off at their injuries. Children are more prone to have plaque Psoriasis which affects the knees, elbows, and lower back. Psoriasis of the scalp can also be common but can be erroneously taken for a bad case of dandruff.

Guttate Psoriasis is often seen in children and teenagers. This type of Psoriasis often appears during or soon after a sore throat, especially a throat infection. It may require several weeks or even months for this sort of Psoriasis to clear up, but once it has cleared up it won’t normally turn up again.

Psoriasis is primarily genetic but it can be sparked by some other causes. No one exactly knows with certainty what the main reason is and anyone is vulnerable. Triggers can involve a bruise to the skin, like a scratch or burn, and in many cases puberty.

The best therapy if your child has Psoriasis is moisturizers…

Lotion up your child often; the less they itch the less they will want to scratch. Educate them about the dangers of picking at their injuries or attempting to detach the scaly skin. The better informed the kids are about their situation the more it will delay the outbreaks and will recover faster when they show up. Give your child a bottle of lotion to carry with them for when they do start to itch or are eager to pick at their skin.

There are many prescription therapies and lotions that are suitable for children to apply. A child’s physician will be able to prescribe the right medicine and the correct dosage.

It exists also several of home remedies that are okay for children. If your child has Psoriasis, simply add some olive, vegetable, or mineral oil, to their evening bath. Make sure to pat them dry afterwards and lotion the entire body to retain the moisture.
