Psoriasis — a heavy pathology, although it is dangerous to life. Known as psoriasis is a systemic chronic disease affecting skin and nails. This causes redness, itching and peeling vinyl, self all ages and is difficult to treat. Visible psoriasis why what kind of problems you are facing, and, most importantly, how can it be treated?
Psoriasis and treatment what we know about it
Psoriasis also one studied, and one of the most mysterious illness. For decades, experts I'm trying to figure out the reasons, however, so far, science has no answer, the question is, why do people suffer from psoriasis.
Psoriasis — as the disease is contagious, why not him fungal or bacterial, and reaction, the body's own immune system. To share a great speed with the press of skin cells in psoriasis, the life cycle continues in normal cells, approximately 30 days after the psoriasis — just 3-5.
The basic symptoms of psoriasis: redness of the skin, flaking, inflamed view plots, supposedly plaques, itching. In some cases, the resulting rash or small pustules. Psoriasis manifests itself sometimes immediately, sometimes rising almost for no apparent reason. Hand and foot psoriasis most commonly appear in the folds, along the hair line, as well as too tight or rubbing, what next, where and how much inflammation may occur, and other fields.
Statistics
Psoriasis is a fairly common disease, pain is only about 3% of the world's population.
Distinguish several types of psoriasis. The most common — a rude, patched or diagnosed, 80% of patients with psoriasis. Guetta (small rash), pustular (pustules), palmar-plantar kinds and exudative (weeping rash) is much less common.
Most patients psoriasis and detects the first signs between the ages of 15-25. Usually thrust his emergence (and later aggravation) serves emotional shocks. This phenomenon scientists stress the hormones adrenaline and cortisol emission.
Psoriasis is considered a chronic disease, the cure is not possible. However, modern medicine knows paths to reduce the proportion of the population to minimize and reduce the symptoms.
Note
Unfortunately, psoriasis infect. The possibility of the patient's psoriasis in families one of the parents, the birthday child from the same disease up to 25%. If both parents are familiar with this disease first-hand, risk, psoriasis in children increases 60%.
Psoriasis treatment: modern treatment approaches
Psoriasis treatment depends on the severity of the disease circuit. In mild cases (on the saddle at least 3% of body area) for outdoor applications prescription medications — ointments and creams. Also recommended for review of a way of life, and especially nutrition. In more complex cases, physical therapy is prescribed. Drug intake that has a specific including those for toxicity, hormonal drugs used to these extreme measures, only helps to psoriasis other treatments.
Effective methods of conservative treatment of psoriasis and ways
The treatment for psoriasis deal with multiple targets was successful, implement a comprehensive approach to better.
Drug treatment
The fight for psoriasis "insider" commonly prescribed derivatives, vitamin A (retinoids), as well as drugs of low activity, the immune system. Dental treatment using medicated ointments and creams the symptoms of psoriasis, itching and inflammation contribute to shedding dead skin cells to be removed and damaged covers to help protect the skin from fungi and bacteria. This is important because in the course of the disease psoriasis connection the complex process often secondary infection reduces the effectiveness of the total treatment process slows down and skin restore.
The most complex cases, often repetitive, psoriasis, prescription, local hormonal medications (ointments and creams) — the so-called TGKS (topical corticosteroids). Careful with them — there are a number of TGKS, side effects and contraindications. You to implement them on its own initiative, recommendations and strict order of the physician, the disease may worsen. TGKS, generally it is not recommended 5 days, as well as large areas of skin for a long time and more sensitive areas (face, neck, skin folds), because such a tool may provide systemic effects, skin thinning and loss of its protective properties syndrome, the cause of the body and road, i.e. reduce the risk of this.
What could be faster and easier to deal with a disease that doctors often complain, if we didn't patients, self medication is not a drug psoriasis treatment uncontrolled use after using such a powerful hormonal tools is significantly more difficult.
Science has already made a long time ago, you can enter a big step forward in effective, but safe ways for the treatment of the skin, psoriasis and other diseases. This, for example, basic drugs attributable to the active ingredient, the active zinc (zinc pirition). Zinc, a natural remedy for the skin because it is organic and healthy human skin of his concentration about 20% of the total content in the body lack this precious metal, accompanied by various lesions, and deterioration of skin wound healing.
Unlike medications with active zinc, zinc oxide with the money, for the entire complex with specific properties (anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal), to help relieve itching, contribute to the production of ceramides (lipid) that leads to her recovery of the barrier function. On the contrary, ointment, creams with zinc oxide pyrithione zinc dry skin. Also, they supposedly activated apoptosis (programmed natural death) pathologically changed skin cells and inflammation, thereby inhibiting excessive reproduction, epithelial, slimming, peeling plaques psoriatic plaques and training.
Research, efficiency and a good safety profile comparable active zinc tgks are almost absorbed on the surface of the skin no irritant and harmful effects.
Assigned to you no matter which drug, remember, write, prescription, doctor, always takes into account the possible benefits and harms that drug use adapted age and gender characteristics, medical history, etc. therefore do not self-treatment full of more than a cripple. In this case in the first place that comes to psoriasis, the use of hormonal drugs. Ointments and creams that may lead to thoughtless application of SSI effects with the "closed circle" — for a long time you use them, the more often will attack a flare-up.
It's not a risk for the first manifestation of psoriasis symptoms treatment you should not begin a hormonal method safe and consult a doctor. Use in chronic and recurrent and non-hormonal drugs with therapeutic properties immediately after removing attacks (after applying TGKS) extend the duration of emission and skin as well as help save.
Physical therapy
Physiotherapy treatment for psoriasis that help eliminate the symptoms of this disease. As is well known, the pathology is not afraid of sun, so widely used in the treatment of psoriasis phototherapy — radiation and ultraviolet light.

Psychotherapy for the treatment of psoriasis aim — to teach people to manage their emotions and avoid limit to fluctuate. In addition, group therapy can provide the needed psychological support and self-esteem increase.
Plasmapheresis
Plasmapheresis is a doctor, the patient, a portion of which separates blood plasma, blood cells, and returns them using the needle on the back. Together with plasma displays, toxins and autoantibodies.
In the meantime,
Psoriasis is not a reason for low self-esteem. Many famous people struggle with this disease all of life does not prevent them million idols and style icons. Model wearing black who suffer from psoriasis and Kim Kardashian, actress Cameron Diaz and singer Britney Spears.
Alternative approaches
Existing and alternative, folk, and exotic, treatment, psoriasis. First, for example, the current implementation of oil damaged areas thistle, marshmallow herbal teas, Valerian, sage and chamomile. Using exotic tropical species of fish garra RUF a feature may be treatment — psoriatic plaques skin plaques without damaging healthy skin pyrithione they. This is the original service we offer in Thailand, and in recent years this procedure appeared to some Russian Spa and salons.
Public methods are considered safe, but that's not exactly true grass — allergic to skin plaques aggravate the condition and application, ointments, questionable procedures, exotic and unsanitary conditions occurs in the holding of origin, and to occur, inflammation and secondary infection Process connection.
