The causes of psoriasis are primarily genetic.And the symptoms of red spots throughout the body or in some parts.Different types of psoriasis begin in different ways.The disease begins with pink or red spots, which then grow, covered with silver dry scales.
4 Causes of psoriasis
The origin of the disease was not fully studied by scientists and the search for effective treatment methods.There are 4 main reasons for psoriasis:
- Genetic predisposition
- Disorders of immune, endocrine and nervous systems.
- Bad ecology.
- Skin damage (phenomenon of Köbner).
Treatment of psoriasis
Dermatologists and scientists admit that psoriasis is one of the diseases that need to be carefully examined and new effective treatment methods.
The result is the following.
Ultraviolet therapy 311 nm
Ultraviolet lamp to treat psoriasis (311 nm)
The 311 nm method is safe, there is no contraindication and has been used since the 60s of the last century from all over the world.The 3 -year -old pregnant women and children are suitable for the treatment of psoriasis.
For therapy, with this method, a 311 nm wavelength lamp is used.Psoriasis spots should be shone from a few minutes to a few hours.The meetings are held every other day.
The results can be achieved in the treatment of vulgar (normal), seborrheic psoriasis, and palms, feet and hair.Of the 100 patients from the disease, 97 are getting rid of the disease.
Puva therapy
The method has many contraindications and side effects.You cannot use pregnant and breastfeeding mothers.In addition, the patient should perform a complete examination of related diseases.
Treatment in this way takes place in two stages.First, they receive medication for the patient (increasing the predisposition to UV rays) and then irradiated in a long wave ultraviolet-specific cabin.Studies show the effectiveness of the method (90-97%).However, this is not suitable for everyone, and sometimes even dangerous to health, with inadequate use.
Ointments and shampoos are not always safe to treat psoriasis.Some are contraindicated and side effects, especially drugs with hormones - glucocorticoids.Ointments result in the result of the treatment of vulgar (normal), Ladown-Landing psoriasis.Shampoos are used to treat the head, scalp on the head and head.Often, after the drug has been deleted, the disease returns with renewed momentum.
Psoriasis tablets
Pills for treating psoriasis are contraindicated and side effects.Only doctors prescribe them and require clear adherence to instructions.They are used for all forms of psoriasis, including the severe and neglected course of the disease.Give complex therapy, external tools together.
Conclusions
Psoriasis is a systemic disease of the body.It affects immune, endocrine, nervous systems.
The disease begins with small pink or reddish spots, which then grow and connect to each other.There are also symptoms: thickening of the nail plate, general malaise.
PUVA therapy is also effective (resulting in 90-97% of cases).However, this is not suitable for everyone and has many side effects.This method is treated only at the clinics.
Ointments and shampoos only give temporary results - while in use.Hormonal external devices can be dangerous if the instructions are not observed.
Psoriasis tablets are used in complex therapy, along with external cures.Follow the instructions to use the drug clearly.
Folk methods are safe (due to their natural composition) and results in results.The most important thing is to choose the appropriate combination of external and internal external remedies for successful treatment of psoriasis.
What is psoriasis?
This dermatological violation significantly reduces the patient's qualitative level and has a harmful effect on metabolism (metabolism-related process) in the body, enhances the symptoms of cardiovascular disease and contributes to depressive conditions.
Knowing his common name - scaly lichen, it is easy to figure out what psoriasis looks like in the form of papules (smooth shiny surface formation, shape in the hemisphere, color - pink) is similar in the early stages of a tap.
Reasons
- Genetics.There is no need to prove that psoriasis is contrary to the genetic predisposition.Genetic theory of psoriasis is only a result of an increased risk of dermatosis as a result of the hereditary factor of people.
- Violation of the hormonal background in the body (endocrine theory).The restorative (regenerative) functions of the tissues (skin) are lost due to the inadequate function of the endocrine system.
- Consequences of infections.When treating infectious diseases, complications can begin, reflected directly on the skin (infectious theory) - loss of skin to normal functioning of microorganisms, fungi, etc.
- Violation of body metabolism (metabolism functions): Skin disease is initiated by the inadequate work of the circulatory system, for example, lymphocytes are excessively concentrated in certain areas of the skin.This also includes diabetes mellitus - metabolism processes are significantly distorted.(Exchange theory).
- Immunity.Inadequate work of the immune system leads to the proper body's reaction to the threat to health.This is also manifested through skin reactions.(Immune theory).
There are many reasons associated with the characteristics of an individual's life:
- irrational diet;
- Stamping of psychoactive substances (alcohol, nicotine, etc.);
- improper use of medicines;
- excessive mental stress, stress;
- A sharp change in climate conditions.
Symptoms and sections
Initial
In the initial stages, hands, stomach, back or other parts are noticeable: small papules, pink, brilliant and smooth surface.These are precisely manifestations, and over time, their numbers and locations are increasing.
Progressive.
At this stage, skin peeling is added to the symptoms -first in the middle of the papules, which gradually grow and form a rose -colored corolla.The shape of the areas damaged by the disease gradually acquires different configurations (Kebner symptom).Itching is observed.The stage duration is about 2 weeks.
Constant
For the duration, there is no specific period of time to return to the next section (4, regression) or return to the previous one (3rd, progress).New skin elements are eliminated, the growth of existing plaques slows down and stops at all.
Decreasing
The section finishes the disease cycle - the peeling goes into "nothing", the plaques are flat, they lose their bump.Objects are usually not atrophy and do not form scars.Although the areas exposed to the disease lose their pigment (whitening), it disappears after time.
In children
The bubbles contain fluid (first - transparent, then cloudy), and its tests show the presence of pathological cells.Therapeutic intervention should be an emergency.
In adults
- the general condition of the physical weakening of the body;
- a sense of power and fatigue;
- Depression and experience of depression.
A specific symptoms depend on the type of psoriasis and the localization of the skin.For example, psoriasis manifestation on the legs is more often observed in the knees and legs.In complications, the symptoms are enhanced by edema of the limbs.
Treatment
Ointment from the psoriasis of the skin can be used as a means of direct exposure to the affected areas.It is designed to treat the dryness of the skin and the effect of "tightening".A special location is occupied by non -hormonal ointments that affect the focus of the inflammation but do not lead to an increase in the hormonal background.
Ointments from psoriasis (list and price for them):
Hormonal exposure
The therapeutic effect is given faster (each purpose is to suppress itching, inflammation, allergy), but there are side effects:
- Carbohydrate (entry level) - 30 p.;
- Lorinden (intermediate exposure) - 350 p.;
- Sinaflan (strong) - up to 80 p.
Considering the treatment of hydrogen peroxide psoriasis, the reviews are distributed depending on the therapeutic effect.This, in turn, depends on the severity and type of skin violation itself.
Apply peroxide for 2 options:
- externally (compression, creams of the affected areas);
- Internally (one drop of peroxide is added to several tablespoons of water, drunk half an hour before a meal; a few drops to dig the nose).
The initial stage
In the early stages, the patient has a small rash.Depending on the type of disease, they can be localized:

- on his head and face;
- On the stomach, hips and back.
Size rashes rarely exceed 2-3 mm, characterized by pale pink color.3-4 days after the event, the rash is covered with a greyish attack.This process means to wipe the skin.
In people who were sick in psoriasis, the epidemic layer has no time to renew as the skin is immediately covered with plaques.In new patients, a similar procedure takes 3 weeks to stop the disease.
