People who have psoriasis are more likely to have heart problems and arthritis, according to new findingsA common skin disorder has been linked to other health problems.

Recent findings published in the Mayo Clinic Women’s HealthSource suggest that individuals who suffer from psoriasis are also at an increased risk for heart attacks, stroke and other cardiovascular problems. Researchers say the link may be underlying inflammation, which is known to play a role in both the skin condition and heart disease.

In addition, about one in four people who suffer from psoriasis develop a form of arthritis called psoriatic arthritis that can cause pain, stiffness and swelling in the joints.

Psoriasis is a chronic skin disorder that affects as many as 7.5 million Americans. It causes skin cells to rapidly build-up on the surface of the skin and form thick silvery scales and itchy, dry, red patches that are sometimes painful.

Taking care of the skin may help to manage psoriasis. Daily baths with oils, oatmeal or Epsom salts can help to remove scales and calm inflamed skin. Applying a thick moisturizing cream or ointment can also be helpful. Exposure to sunlight and avoiding known triggers can also improve the symptoms.

Alternative treatments include aloe vera, capsaicin cream and nutritional supplements containing omega-3 fatty acids.ADNFCR-2035-ID-19538805-ADNFCR
