What Is Guttate Psoriasis and How Do You Treat It?

Guttate Psoriasis: Symptoms, Causes, & Treatments

Psoriasis is a well-known skin condition, but did you know there’s more than one type? According to the American Academy of Dermatology, 75 million Americans have been diagnosed with some form of psoriasis.

One form is known as guttate psoriasis. It usually appears without warning and follows an infection like strep throat. While it’s most common in young adults, it can also happen at an older age.

In this article, we discuss early guttate psoriasis, its symptoms, and any potential guttate psoriasis treatment.

Experiencing guttate psoriasis on the face, arms, body, or legs can be disconcerting. Its suddenness tends to surprise people, with the small, red scaly patches developing almost overnight.

Scientists have found that this type of psoriasis is most common in children and young adults, making up 8% of all psoriasis cases.

Most skin sores appear on the arms, legs, torso, and scalp. One of the critical differences between guttate psoriasis and other types of psoriasis is that the scales tend to be finer.

As an autoimmune disease, there’s no documented cure for the condition. Some people may experience a single outbreak that disappears without treatment, whereas others may experience it throughout their lives. But your dermatologist can offer relief to make it easier to live with.

Finally, is guttate psoriasis contagious? The answer is no. You don’t have to worry about spreading this condition to others because it’s non-contagious.

[Self-Test] Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder in Children
Avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) is an eating disorder often characterized as “extreme picky eating.” Food avoidance or restriction in ARFID can be due to any of the following:1Unlike other eating disorders, like anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, the eating behaviors seen in ARFID are not associated with concerns about body weight or shape. Children with ARFID may struggle to meet nutritional and/or energy needs, and they may be dependent on nutritional supplements for functioning.ARFID often co-occurs with autism, anxiety, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).2 Some symptoms of autism, like rigid eating behaviors and sensory sensitivity, overlap with ARFID.If you suspect that your child has symptoms of ARFID, answer the questions below and share the results with your child’s pediatrician or a licensed mental health professional who is experienced in diagnosing and treating ARFID.If you or a loved one are suffering from an eating disorder, contact the National Eating Disorder Association (NEDA) for support, resources, and treatment options.

10 Foods (and Supplements and Vitamins!) to Boost Your ADHD Brain
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends treating ADHD in children and adolescents with FDA-approved medications, plus parent training in behavior modification and behavioral classroom interventions. Likewise, research confirms that “stimulant medications are most effective, and combined medication and psychosocial treatment is the most beneficial treatment option for most adult patients with ADHD.” Still, many individuals seek to augment their ADHD treatment plans with natural therapies ranging from nutrition and vitamins and herbs and fish oil.“Parents and adults see me either because the ADHD medication isn’t doing the job, or they want more improvement and can’t increase the dosage without increasing side effects,” says Richard Brown, M.D., associate clinical professor of psychiatry at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, and co-author of the recent book How to Use Herbs, Nutrients, and Yoga in Mental Health Care.Here are 10 of the most popular natural ADHD remedies — including foods, ADHD supplements, and herbs — and research findings for each suggesting whether adding them to your treatment plan might unlock better focus, attention, and motivation.Keep in mind that all ADHD treatment decisions should be made in consultation and coordination with a licensed medical provider.Poor nutrition can cause a child or adult with ADHD to become distracted, impulsive, and restless.
