Your FAQs around generalized pustular psoriasis
Generalized pustular psoriasis is a severe form of psoriasis that can cause body-wide symptoms and may require immediate medical pustular psoriasis (GPP), also known as von Zumbusch psoriasis, is a rare type of GPP affects an estimated 1 to 7 people out of every million. It features episodes or 'flares' of erythroderma, widespread skin inflammation and redness or other skin color changes. These flares develop with sterile (not caused by infection), fluid-filled blisters or a flare, pustules break open, and the skin can become dry and painful. It may crack, peel, or scale and may resemble a is an immune-mediated condition caused by dysfunction in the immune system. Unusual immune responses to triggers such as stress, medication use, or infections can set off a chain of severe inflammatory reactions throughout the body. GPP often has identifiable triggers, but it can also happen without any obvious people experience severe systemic symptoms in addition to skin inflammation, including fever, chills, muscle weakness, and fatigue. If left untreated, GPP can cause life threatening complications like organ on to find out the answers to some of your most pressing questions about is the outlook for generalized pustular psoriasis?GPP is a chronic condition. It can be managed, but it may never be fully cured. As many as 80% of people experience relapses, and most have at least one episode outlook during a flare depends largely on how quickly a person receives treatment. Severe inflammation can cause tissue damage and affect internal organs like the heart, lungs, or kidneys. In some cases, this may result in sepsis, a life threatening complication that requires urgent care.

A doctor will consider a person's age, family history, genetics, and other health conditions when recommending a flare, first-line treatments usually include medications that target the immune system. These drugs work by blocking or calming overactive inflammatory example is spesolimab (Spevigo), a monoclonal antibody that blocks interleukin-36 (IL-36) receptors. IL-36 is a pro-inflammatory molecule, known as a cytokine, that becomes overactive in GPP. It triggers systemic inflammation and stimulates the production of neutrophils, which accumulate in the skin and create spesolimab is the only medication approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) specifically for the treatment of may also use other medications that modify immune responses or control inflammation, such as:infliximaboral retinoidsapremilastmethotrexatecyclosporineFor mild symptoms or when GPP is well managed, doctors may recommend more conservative treatments. These can include keeping the skin hydrated, using topical corticosteroids, and prescribing antibiotics if there is an a medication triggers the flare, stopping that medication is also an important part of the do you stop pustules from spreading?Immediate treatment helps stop GPP pustules from in GPP are sterile. They form because of overactive inflammatory processes in the body. Itching pustules or having pustules break open is not what causes pustules to spread (although this can increase the risk of secondary infection).Interrupting the inflammatory chain with medications like spesolimab during a flare will help bring pustules under control. Applying cool compresses, keeping skin clean and moisturized, and avoiding irritants like rough fabric can help improve the overall health of the skin and manage pustular psoriasis lead to sepsis?Generalized pustular psoriasis can lead to is a severe, life threatening inflammatory reaction to an infection that spreads through the bloodstream.

Open skin from pustules, cracks, or scratching allows bacteria, viruses, or fungi to cross the skin barrier and enter the bloodstream.

A cytokine storm happens when the immune system becomes overactive and releases too many pro-inflammatory molecules at once. Infection can trigger a cytokine storm, but it is not the only cause. Cytokine storms in GPP can happen any time the immune system is overactivated, even without an however, always results from an infection. It also involves a cytokine storm, but in this case, the overactivation of cytokines is a direct response to that infection.

Women can now claim almost £1,000 for 'gifting' their eggs and demand has never been greater. But for many the procedure is painful, has been linked to serious health conditions and leaves a lifetime of troubling questions
Leena Khan was a 21-year-old university student when she saw the Facebook advert seeking egg donors: giving would be a selfless act, the fertility clinic said. 'I've always gone out of my way to help people,' says Leena – and with £750 expenses offered, the money would help fund her studies. As far as ideas go, she says, 'it didn't seem crazy'. Within months of donating, however, Leena started suffering painful, heavy periods.

I forced my reluctant husband to take my placenta home and blend it into a smoothie - I was out of hospital the next day
When I saw DJ Calvin Harris ' picture of his partner and Radio 1 host Vick Hope 's placenta pills on Instagram it brought back so many memories. I was 32 and pregnant with my first baby when I heard about the concept of consuming your placenta after the birth. I was taking birth classes with a midwife who was very into the natural birth movement, and she told me about a theory that eating the placenta could prevent post-partum depression, ease bleeding after delivery and improve your iron levels. Although there is no scientific evidence that eating the placenta after childbirth is beneficial, many animals including cattle, goats, horses and dogs, do it as it's supposedly an amazing source of nutrition. I was intrigued by the idea and figured that anything that might make me feel better or make the early days of life with a newborn easier was worth a try. I already knew the placenta - a temporary body organ that develops during pregnancy - had lots of beneficial ingredients in it as I once got talked into buying a £400 moisturiser which contained sheep's placenta. The midwife leading my birth classes introduced me to a woman who lived nearby who was a doula and birth coach, and she also offered a placenta encapsulation service. For £150 she would take my placenta, dehydrate it and turn it into little vitamin-like pills and a tincture which I could add to water. I'd also heard of people taking their fresh placenta and putting it into smoothies to drink after the birth. Although I'd planned a natural home birth, my waters broke and there was meconium in them, and when I went to the hospital they told me I'd have to stay there and be induced. While we were waiting for the induction, my partner Andy and I went for a walk and I suddenly remembered my plans for my placenta. We popped into a Pound Shop and bought a cool bag to take the placenta home with us. The birth was chaotic and not at all how I'd imagined, but I remember Andy pointing to my placenta and saying to the doctor: 'We need to take that'. When he got home, he stuffed it in the fridge. The days after my birth were really hard and I felt terrible, so while I was still recovering on the ward, I asked Andy to go home and rip off a bit of my placenta and put it into a smoothie for me. I'd read that it was full of stem cells which can help a woman's body to replenish itself after birth. Andy was sceptical, but I felt so rotten I forced him to do it: 'You have to do it for me and the baby'. He later told me that he got the placenta out of a tupperware in the fridge and tried to cut it with a knife but it was too thick, so he just ripped some off with his hands. He put it in the Nutribullet with a load of frozen berries. I drank it in the hospital. It didn't really taste that different from a normal smoothie. I don't know if it was just a placebo effect or if it really helped, but not long afterwards, I stopped bleeding and was allowed to go home the next day. The early days of having my daughter Wren were a blur, but I did take the placenta pills - religiously at first and then less as time went on. I remember there were some moments where I had a bit of a wobble about whether to take them or not, as I'd had drugs to induce labour and did wonder if they'd gone into the placenta. I also had a lot of problems with breastfeeding and there are mixed reports about whether consuming the placenta increases or decreases your milk supply. My family weren't that surprised when they heard I was taking pills made of my placenta - they already think I'm quite hippy and woo woo. But I remember my mother-in-law was shocked and a bit mortified when we told her. I think in other cultures it's a normal practice and people have been doing it for decades. My French friend Alexia told me that her mother made granules of her placenta nearly 40 years ago. Alexia's mother gave them to her when she was a child and told her if she ever felt unwell, she could take them to get better. When I had my daughter Alba two years later, in 2018, I would have done it again, but she was born at 36 weeks so we weren't organised enough. She was born in the bath at home and I do remember looking at my placenta and marvelling at what my body had created. You've grown a baby and a whole new organ. I can see why in many cultures the placenta is treated as a sacred thing. The other day I was having a clear out and I found the little brown bottle of tincture which we'd had made all those years ago. It's supposed to be great for rebalancing hormones, so I've just started taking it again to help with perimenopausal symptoms. I have 10 drops in a glass of water every morning. It's too soon to really feel an effect, but it feels positive to try something. I hope it works for Vick and helps her recover from the birth. There's nothing to be squeamish about. I think anything that makes people feel good is worth the effort.
