Psoriasis: Causes and symptoms, treatment and prevention

Psoriasis is a disease of non -infectious origin, characterized by damage to the skin in the form of their raised dry crusts. Such a crust is an inflamed area formed as a result of increased white blood cell activity - lymphocytes and excessive formation of small capillaries in the surface layer of the skin.

Psoriasis - what is it

psoriasis

So far, the true causes of the disease have not been created. It is known that in most cases it has an inherited character, that is, it is transferred to children by parents. At the same time, a person suffering from this disease poses no threat to the health of others, as special plaques formed on the skin are not infectious.

Some experts tend to believe that the development of the disease depends largely on the condition of the human immune system, as, in fact, psoriasis is nothing but an accumulation of a large number of lymphocytes, blood cells directly related to the body's protective function. They are the ones who give the cover to the places of white loss.

Psoriasis can appear in any part of the body, even under the scalp hair. However, the skin most often suffers from the disease, is constantly undergoing friction: in elbows, knees, between the buttocks.

The disease can occur in a completely healthy person, never before collided after transferring severe stress. Its cause may also be minor lesions as a result of accidental damage or burning. Cold dry weather can provoke the development of the disease in people predisposed to it. The disease, which appeared in early childhood, can pass completely itself as the baby grows.

Localization zone

Psoriasis rashes can be located in completely different places. In addition to the usual location in the body and on the skin of the skin, they can be distinguished below:

    Face - Reds are rare, most often these are single papules near the eyes and nose. The lips are rarely affected, but such localization is not excluded. The rashes are very Christian, accompanied by redness and pronounced discomfort. The scalp is affected by every second patient. Most often it continues in the form of seborrhe. Palms and heel - seals occur especially in contact sites with cuffs or elastic strips from socks. With the progression of the peel, they are marked between the fingers and the legs. The ear is most often affected simultaneously with head involvement, when focuses grow in the auricle. Male and female genitals can also be included in pathology. This is explained by constant humidity, favorable to psoriasis. Localized in the groin, in the outer genitals, less often in the inner part of the foreskin in men. In women, single rashes are possible in labia.

Stages of development

In the development of psoriasis, three stages can be easily observed:

    Progressive - the onset of pathology, most often with a bright clinic, redness spreads quickly through the body, large focus was formed. In the hospital - at this stage there is no fresh redness, but the old do not change their shape at the same time. Regression - peel gradually decreases, and the process begins from the center, as a result of which the rings and figures of the irregular shape appear.

The pathology course does not end there. The pathology continues in a circle, replacing all three stages. Therefore, after regression, it is especially important to pay attention to prevention.

Symptoms and signs of the disease, manifested in the skin of the body and scalp

Currently, more than six types of psoriasis are known, each of which has its symptoms. Common symptoms for all forms of the disease include: a feeling of skin tightening and severe itching.

Simple or other psoriasis among Russian residents is more common. Its main symptoms include:

    Formation in places of inflammation of elevated skin plaques; Obesity of the skin, excess dryness and peel; Bleeding; The rapid spread of the disease over the body of the body.

In the opposite form, exists:

    The soft appearance, slightly raised above the skin, red spots are inflamed in the curves of the arms and legs, on the groin and other folding of the skin; Joining a secondary infection as a result of the skin inflamed by damage with a clothing cloth and then;

Genital psoriasis makes itself felt by the appearance of a large number of small fragmented inflammation elements in the form of points and points. The color of such formations can vary to purple. A similar form of the disease is often manifested in the back of the spine, buttocks and shoulders. The irritation of a rocking form is usually observed after the transfer of any infection.

The most severe form of the disease includes pustular psoriasis. Its main symptoms:

    The appearance of fluid -filled bubbles on the skin of different sizes; Inflammation and gradual peel of the skin located under them; Gradual melting of bubbles in a large formation, juice; Introducing a secondary infection by filling the skin bubbles with purulent contents.

Most often, this shape is localized in the legs, arms, forearm. A special form of the disease is considered to be nail psoriasis, which does not spread beyond the nail. It is possible to determine its presence from the appearance on the nails of the lines, dots and points of different sizes, a change in nail color, thickening the surrounding skin and underneath, lightly peeling nail plate. Usually, the nail psoriasis ends with their full loss.

Treatment of psoriasis

One complication of the disease is psoriatic arthritis - the spread of inflammation of the skin in the previously healthy joints. The disease is characterized by strong swelling of the joints, regardless of their location, often leads to disability.

Characteristics of women's and men's flow

There are no particular clinical differences during psoriasis for men and women. In each individual case, the severity and localization depend on the individual characteristics. The only thing that can be noted is that in men, rashes are often located in the inside of the thigh in the groin. In women, peel can be formed under the mammals. This is especially characteristic of the menopause when the disease worsens as a result of hormonal changes.

Pathology therapy should be complex and given almost constantly, which will not allow the formation of new seals. If you receive a summary of funds from psoriasis, the following forms and methods can be distinguished:

    Psoriasis creams. The most effective funds will be the basis of which includes solidol. Hormonal ointments are also used. Target compounds also found application. Pills.

Some recommendations (is it possible in the bathroom, sun, etc. )

Psoriasis imposes some restrictions on the patient's life. Separately, you need to understand if it is possible to visit a sauna and a bathroom with such a disease. In general, such procedures are very useful. They allow:

    Oxygen -saturated cells. Derive toxins and slag. Increase skin sensitivity to local medicines. Improve the overall psycho -emotional state.

Thus, with psoriasis, the bathroom visits will also be appropriate, but it is important to carefully observe all the rules to visit the steam room.

Another important issue is to visit Solarium. It is much more complicated above. The fact is that each device has a concentration of UV rays. The optimum wavelength is 300-400 nm. At the same time, the presence of the reflector increases the radiation strength by 10%. Therefore, if the device is suitable for the parameters described and has no reflector, the visits of the sun within reasonable limits will give a positive effect.

It will be useful to understand hair coloring. When incorporating the hair with full coloring, it is best to adhere. Emphasis or coloring will be acceptable. If there is gray hair and hair coloring is a necessary procedure, you should approach particularly carefully in choosing the paint, prioritizing quality products.

Therefore, it is important to find a person who can be trusted and talking about the disease, being safe in an adequate reaction. In general, psoriasis does not affect sex life in any way. If the rashes are available in the genitals, they should be treated so as not to provoke a secondary infection.

If inherited

As for the inherited predisposition of psoriasis, there were many disputes. It cannot be argued that the child will definitely have a disease. Yes, it has a predisposition, but by undergoing preventive measures, you can avoid developing pathology in the active phase.

It is noted that psoriasis can manifest even after a few generations between large groups.

Whether they take the army with psoriasis

The presence of psoriasis in the history of military duty can cause an exception. If the boy was previously registered in this pathology, you must provide documents confirming the presence of psoriasis. In this case, the size and number of seals is important:

    Category B is the presence of three or more seals with different localization. Category B - single seals of large sizes (more than 10x15 cm).

Each case is considered individually by determining the severity of the current.

PREVENTION

Given the fact that pathology continues according to stages, it is important to pay attention to prevention after regression. First of all, this is a diet. It means the exclusion of fatty, fried and spices. The diet should be diversified by vegetables, fish and cereals. In the autumn spring, it is important for vitamin therapy.
