Psoriasis Causes & Symptoms
Psoriasis is considered an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation and makes skin grow at an accelerated rate. Psoriasis flare-ups are most likely caused by a combination of genetics and environmental triggers such as stress, infection, cold weather, and diet.
Psoriasis symptoms vary widely, depending on the type of psoriasis and where it appears on the body. The disease often cycles between flare-ups in which psoriasis symptoms are most pronounced, and periods of remission that can last for several months. In psoriasis severe cases, smaller patches of inflamed, scaly skin grow together or overlap to cover large areas of the body.
Common Psoriasis Symptoms Checklist:
- Red patches of skin covered with thick white scales
- Dry, cracked skin
- Itchy, bleeding skin
- Rashes
- Burning or stinging sensation on the skin
- Swollen, stiff joints
- Thick, ridged fingernails

CASE STUDY
Woman with Lupus Avoids Gastric Bypass Surgery
At just 14, Mymee's founder Mette Dyhrberg, was diagnosed with her first autoimmune disease, psoriasis. She continued to feel worse heading into her 20s and started seeing many doctors to figure out what was going on.
"Finding my triggers gave me the power to take my health into my own hands. I have been symptom and drug free for 8 years now. That’s only possible because I took the time to listen to my body and optimize my environment for it. Mymee is not a miracle cure, it’s a way for people to decode the triggers in their environment that influence how they feel," Mette says.
