Psoriasis Awareness Month: Bathing
Psoriasis is a skin condition that affects millions of people around the world. It is a chronic, non-contagious autoimmune disorder that causes skin cells to build up on the surface of the skin, resulting in red, scaly patches and lesions. Psoriasis Awareness Month is a time to raise awareness about this condition and to educate people about the treatments available. One of the most effective ways to manage psoriasis is through the use of bathing.
Bathing is one of the most common treatments for psoriasis. It helps to reduce itching, scaling, and redness associated with the condition. Bathing can also help to reduce inflammation and improve overall skin health. The key to successful bathing is to use natural ingredients that are known to be beneficial for psoriasis.
The Benefits of Bathing for Psoriasis
Bathing can be a very effective way to manage psoriasis. It helps to reduce itching, scaling, and redness associated with the condition. Bathing can also help to reduce inflammation and improve overall skin health. Natural ingredients such as oatmeal, Dead Sea salt, and Epsom salt can be added to the bath water to help soothe the skin and reduce irritation.
Using Natural Ingredients for Psoriasis
Using natural ingredients in the bath can be very beneficial for psoriasis. Oatmeal is known to be particularly helpful for psoriasis, as it helps to soothe the skin and reduce inflammation. Dead Sea salt and Epsom salt are also beneficial, as they help to reduce itching and scaling. Other natural ingredients such as aloe vera and coconut oil can also be used to help soothe the skin and reduce irritation.
Tips for Bathing with Psoriasis
When bathing with psoriasis, it is important to keep the water temperature at a comfortable level (optimum temperature 38 – 41 degrees C). It is also important to avoid using hot water, as this can irritate the skin. Additionally, it is important to avoid using harsh soaps and cleansers, as these can further irritate the skin. After bathing, it is important to apply a moisturiser to the skin to help lock in moisture and prevent further irritation.
