If you’re struggling with red, flaky patches that won’t go away no matter what cream you try—
you may have asked yourself: “Why is this happening to me?”

You’re not alone. Psoriasis can be incredibly frustrating and unpredictable.
At our Natural Psoriasis Treatment Sydney clinic, many of our patients come in feeling confused, overwhelmed, and sometimes even hopeless—especially when no one has explained the why behind their symptoms.

Let’s take a look at what really causes psoriasis, and why understanding the root can lead to true healing.

So What Is Psoriasis?

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that speeds up the life cycle of skin cells.
Instead of renewing every 28–30 days, skin cells in psoriasis regenerate in just 3–5 days, causing thick, scaly patches to appear.

But that’s just the surface story.

Psoriasis is actually an immune system imbalance—and the skin is where the inflammation shows up.

What Triggers Psoriasis?

There isn’t one single cause—but here are the most common contributing factors:

1. Genetics

If someone in your family has psoriasis, eczema, or autoimmune issues, you may have inherited a tendency.

2. Immune Dysfunction

Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition—meaning the body attacks its own healthy skin cells by mistake.

3. Stress

This is one of the biggest and most overlooked triggers. High stress can weaken the immune system and send the body into a flare state.

4. Gut & Liver Imbalance

In Chinese medicine, psoriasis is often linked to liver heatblood toxicity, or digestive stagnation. When the body struggles to detox through normal pathways, it pushes inflammation out through the skin.

5. Diet & Lifestyle

Certain foods (like gluten, dairy, sugar, or alcohol) and lifestyle habits (poor sleep, smoking, overwork) can worsen inflammation.

6. Medications or Infections

Some antibiotics, blood pressure medications, and even throat infections have been linked to psoriasis flare-ups.
