The causes of psoriasis are mainly genetic.And the symptoms are red spots throughout the body or on some parts.Various types of psoriasis begin in different ways.The disease begins with pink or red spots, which then grow, are covered with dry silver stairs.
4 causes of psoriasis
The origin of the disease has not been completely studied by scientists and by the search for effective treatment methods.There are 4 main causes of psoriasis:
- Genetic predisposition
- Immune system disorders, endocrine and nervous.
- Bad ecology.
- Skin damage (Köbner phenomenon).
Treatment of psoriasis
Dermatologists and scientists admit that psoriasis is one of the diseases that must be carefully designed and sought for new effective treatment methods.
Among the treatment methods, the result is the following.
Ultraviolet therapy 311 nm
Ultraviolet lamp for the treatment of psoriasis (311 nm)
The 311 Nm method is safe, has no contraindications and has been used all over the world since the 60s of the last century.Suitable for the treatment of psoriasis in pregnant women and 3 -year -old children.
For therapy, with this method, a lamp is used with a wavelength of 311 Nm.Psoriasis points should be brilliant from a few minutes to a couple of hours.The sessions take place on alternate days.
It gives the results in the treatment of vulgar (ordinary), seborrheic psoriasis, as well as on palms, feet and hair.Of the 100 patients of the disease, 97 get rid of the disease.
Puva therapy
The method has many contraindications and side effects.You cannot use mothers in pregnancy and breastfeeding.In addition, the patient should undergo a complete examination for related diseases.
The treatment in this way takes place in two phases.First of all, the patient is administered a drug (improvement of the susceptibility to UV rays), then radiated in a special cabin with a long wave ultraviolet.Studies indicate the effectiveness of the method (90-97%).However, it is not suitable for everyone and sometimes even dangerous for health, with improper use.
Ointments and shampoo are not always safe for the treatment of psoriasis.Some have contraindications and side effects, in particular drugs with the content of hormones - glucocorticoids.Ointments give the result of the treatment of vulgar (ordinary) psoriasis, which is alarmed.Shampoo is used for the therapy of seamorry psoriasis and psoriasis on the head, the scalp.Often, after the cancellation of the drug, the disease returns with renewed vigor.
Psoriasis tablets
The tablets for the treatment of psoriasis have contraindications and side effects.They are prescribed only by doctors and require clear compliance with the instructions.They are used for all forms of psoriasis, including a serious and neglected course of the disease.Give a result in complex therapy, together with external means.
Conclusions
Psoriasis is a systemic body disease.It affects the immune system, endocrine and nervous.
The disease begins with small pink or reddish points, which then grow and connect together.Among the symptoms there are also: inspection of the nail plate, general malaise.
Puva therapy is also effective (it results in 90-97% of cases).However, it is not suitable for everyone and has many side effects.They treat this method only in clinics.
Ointments and shampoo only give a temporary result - during use.Hormonal external means can be dangerous if the instructions are not observed.
Psoriasis tablets are used in complex therapy, together with external remedies.Clearly follow the instructions for the use of the drug.
Folk methods are safe (due to their natural composition) and give a result.The main thing is to choose the right combination of external and internal external remedies for the successful treatment of psoriasis.
What is psoriasis?
This dermatological violation significantly reduces the patient's qualitative level of health, with a pernicious effect on metabolism (a process associated with metabolism) in the body, improves the symptoms of cardiovascular diseases and contributes to depressive conditions.
Knowing its common name - squamous lichen, it is easy to guess how psoriasis is: skin eruptions in the form of papules (formation with a smooth smooth surface, the shape recalls the hemisphere, the color - pink) - in an initial small phase, with a stiletto head.
Causes
- Genetics.It is not necessary to demonstrate whether psoriasis is contrast with a genetic predisposition.The genetic theory of psoriasis speaks only of an increased risk of manifestation of this dermatosis following a hereditary factor in man.
- Violation of the hormonal background in the body (endocrine theory).The restorative (regenerative) functions of the tissues (skin) are lost due to the improper operation of the endocrine system.
- The consequences of infections.During the treatment of infectious diseases, complications can begin, reflect directly on the skin (infectious theory) - loss of the skin of the ability to function normally after exposure to microorganisms, mushrooms, etc.
- Violation of the metabolism (metabolic functions) of the body: skin disease started from the inadequate work of the circulatory system, for example lymphocytes are excessively concentrated in some areas of the skin.This also includes diabetes mellitus - it is with it that metabolic processes are significantly distorted.(Exchange theory).
- Immunity.The inadequate work of the immune system leads to the impossibility of a correct reaction of the body to health threats.This also manifests itself through skin reactions.(Immune theory).
A series of reasons can be associated with the characteristics of an individual's life:
- irrational diet;
- abuse of psychoactive substances (alcohol, nicotine, etc.);
- improper use of medicines;
- Excessive mental stress, stress;
- A strong change in climatic conditions.
