FREQUENCY OF PSORIASIS BASED ON ETHNICITY AND LOCATION

FREQUENCY OF PSORIASIS BASED ON ETHNICITY AND LOCATION

ASMITA LAMA

DESCRIPTION

Psoriasis is a long term skin disorder.

Psoriasis is caused when the immune system overreacts by causing the inflammation of the skin.

Psoriasis can also run in genetics.

Psoriasis is also caused by a cold and dry climate, infections, stress, and dry skin.

SYMPTOMS

Psoriasis can be irritated, red, flaky patches of skin.

The skin is itchy, it's dry and covered with silver, flaky skin like scales, it's pink-red color, and it's raised and thick.

TYPES OF PSORIASIS

There are seven type of psoriasis:

Plaque Psoriasis

Guttate psoriasis

Inverse psoriasis

Pustular psoriasis

Erythrodermic psoriasis

Nail psoriasis

Psoriatic Arthritis

PLAQUE/ GUTTATE/ INVERSE PSORIASIS

Plaque psoriasis is thick, red patches of skin that are covered by flaky, silver-white scales.

Guttate psoriasis is a small, pink-red spots that appear on the skin.

The Inverse psoriasis has skin redness and irritation occurs in the armpits and in between overlaps skin.

PUSTULAR/ ERYTHRODERMIC PSORIASIS

The Pustular psoriasis are like white blisters that are surrounded by red, irritated skin.

The Erythrodermic psoriasis is the skin redness that covers a large area.

PROBLEM

Is Psoriasis more common in Caucasians or African Americans?

HYPOTHESIS

Psoriasis is more common in Caucasians because they mostly have dry, scaly skin thats caused because of season change.

PURPOSE

The purpose of this topic was to find out how you can prevent psoriasis from happening to you, how you can cure psoriasis in the future, be alert about it and get to know where it takes us in the future. A family member has Psoriasis and wanted to know the cause of psoriasis and the treatment.

DATA AND PRESENTATION EXPLANATION

African American had more number of cases of psoriasis than the Caucasian.

African American had more number of cases of psoriasis because its tropical and its near the equator.

Psoriasis is more common in temperate than tropical climates.

Africa is tropical because its near the equator and it is temperate too but comparing it to the East Indian ethnic, its considered tropical.

African American gets more humid than the Caucasian.

The humid makes their skin more irritant since it will be dry and if theres no cream used then the irritant concentration would increase.

African American can get sunburned which can also cause Psoriasis. Since, theyre in the sun most of the time, they receive more sunlight unlike the Caucasians who live in a tropical location.

CONCLUSION

Psoriasis is mostly common in temperate location than tropical location.

By looking at the data of frequency of psoriasis by ethnic group, African had more number of cases overall and number of cases of psoriasis more than Caucasian.

The educated guess was proven wrong by looking at the data.

Psoriasis is not common in Caucasian because the location is mostly dry, which causes scaly skin because of season change.

By looking at the Irritant Concentration graph, African American had a higher number of irritant than Caucasians. African American had more dry skin than Caucasians.

RECOMMENDATION

Psoriasis skin gets worser if you have dry skin so using moisturizing lotions will help. You should take care of your skin and scalp. You can take care of your skin by not getting too much sun, avoiding scrapes, cuts, bumps, and infections, avoid the dry, cold weather, dont increase the stress but decrease it, exercise, maintain a healthy weight.
