Causes psoriasis

Psoriasis — this is a normal reaction of the body to external stimuli, in which individual body areas, the top skin layer is much faster, the better. Usually 3-4 weeks of the cycle and maturation of skin cells is happening to the division, in psoriasis, this process flows only 4-5 days.

Currently I believe psoriasis is multifactorial inherited disease: the underlying disease lies, why not a series of immunological changes, metabolic disorders, concomitant endocrine and neurological disorders. This is for sure: psoriasis is contagious, and that means a contagious disease.

The cause of psoriasis is still not clear, was not found. In this direction there are several theories.

A theory, there are two types of. for psoriasis:

• Type I psoriasis the immune system malfunction is called transfer inheritance. This form of psoriasis patients approximately 65% of human disease to manifest at a young age, 18-25 years.
• Type II psoriasis manifests in people over the age of 40. This type of psoriasis is not hereditary, and no cells connected with the immune system malfunction. Also, on the contrary I prefer a skin psoriasis type, psoriasis, Type II amazes nails and joints is more often.

Another theory is, why only immune disorders for psoriasis due to several factors: it could be stress or infectious diseases, or in a cold climate, or improper diet. For example, cause a worsening of psoriasis GMO alcohol, especially beer, champagne, liquor to drink. Use foods containing vinegar, pepper, chocolate, and that infects the course of the disease may result in the worsening of psoriasis. According to this theory, psoriasis is a systemic disease. This means that the works of serious violations, the immune system, the process, other organs and tissues, for example, to joint. Arthritis may develop as a result psoriaticheskii, for which the characteristic lesions of small joints of the hands and feet.
