Summer sun no fun for psoriasis sufferers

Posted: December 4, 2012 at 1:46 pm

Tuesday, December 4, 2012 Summer sun no fun for psoriasis sufferers

For people with active psoriasis, the hot summer months can be an uncomfortable time as they try to hide affected skin under clothing. However, relief may be in sight with an Auckland-based Vitamin D trial currently underway at Massey Universitys Vitamin D Research Centre, and the research team is looking for more participants.

The trial has received funding from Lottery Health Research, and is being managed by PhD student Michelle Ingram as part of her doctoral thesis. Ms Ingram is excited by the potential an alternative low-cost treatment may offer.

Traditional treatment of psoriasis can include topical lotions, creams, pills or injections, or phototherapy which uses light to treat the condition, she says. They can be inconvenient, expensive, and increase the risk of other health problems. If we can determine the benefits of taking vitamin D supplements, this could give people with psoriasis another option for treatment.

Psoriasis is a chronic, non-contagious inflammatory disease of the skin, with an estimated one in 50 adults in New Zealand living with the condition. Plaque-based psoriasis is the most common type, and while it can be managed, there is no known cure.

For the trial, 112 Auckland-based psoriasis sufferers aged 18 or older, with plaque-type psoriasis in active phase and stable for the past two months are needed. Volunteers must meet certain criteria and be able to attend five appointments at the Albany-based Human Nutrition Research Unit for assessments and samples over a one-year period. They dont need to have a doctors referral and will be screened by a dermatologist before being accepted to the trial.

Ms Ingram says people with psoriasis often avoid normal activities such as swimming and going to the hairdresser when the condition is active, and it can have a significant impact on their self-esteem.

Simple decisions, like what to wear, can become a major exercise in decision-making. Add that to the daily list of treatments that currently need to be endured, and living with psoriasis becomes very stressful. If we are able to prove that vitamin D can help relieve the symptoms of psoriasis, thats a big step towards helping people with psoriasis lead a more normal life.

The Vitamin D Research Centre will form part of Masseys new College of Health in 2013, which will focus on illness and injury prevention rather than cure. The college will bring together specialists from fields ranging from food and nutrition, sport and exercise, rehabilitation, nursing, Mori and Pasifika health, public health, social work, health and safety, as well as researching the social and economic factors that underpin health and wellbeing.

Children and Psoriasis: What Every Parent Needs to Know

By Stacy D. Tompkins, MD, North Coast Dermatology

When it comes to pediatric psoriasis, very few studies examine the secondary effects of the skin condition in children. Most kids who have psoriasis are prescribed medication to treat the problem, and many end up living with the skin condition for life. But as new research suggests, pediatric psoriasis may be dramatically improved in the presence of a healthy lifestyle according to reports at HealthDay.

A study conducted by Northwest University found that a healthy weight can improve the condition of psoriasis in children conversely, obesity can exacerbate the problem.

American children who are affected by psoriasis were found to be seven times more likely to be obese than other kids who have ideal skin. But when children exhibited a healthier weight and better diet, the psoriasis was significantly improved with some cases going into complete remission.

While theres no direct cause-and-effect of obesity to psoriasis, experts agree that obesity can drive the skin problem.

How?

Children who are affected by psoriasis are often self-conscious and unwilling to show much skin. That, in turn, prevents the child from participating in exercise. And when kids are completely covered up, exercise becomes an uncomfortable undertaking so it generally doesnt happen. In time, the lack of activity can result in an overweight child and the risk for psoriasis can increase dramatically.

These findings, while in effect promising, dont reveal everything there is to know about the skin condition. Theres no doubt that psoriasis is often seen as a hereditary disease. Nearly 30 percent of children with psoriasis have a family member that is also affected by the skin condition. But despite the hereditary link, the study found that one of its most influential contributing factors is obesity. In other words, obesity motivates psoriasis.

Say no to fried foods. Eliminate fried food items from your childs diet. This includes common foods like French fries and fried chicken. But be aware of other hidden fried foods like frozen items which, if breaded, were most likely fried ahead of time.
