What is psoriasis Psoriasis treatment specialists

Psoriasis is a more common disease in our lives, and psoriasis is also a chronic inflammatory disease, which is generally more common among young people, not only in addition to young people, people of other ages will also have psoriasis.

1.Heredity is what causes psoriasis. Clinically, there is often a family history and a genetic predisposition.

30% to 50% of people with family history have been reported abroad, and some people even emphasize that it is up to 100%. About 10% to 20% of those with a family history have been reported in China, and some people believe that it is autosomal dominant inheritance with incomplete penetrance, and some people believe that it is autosomal recessive inheritance or sex-linked inheritance. The incidence of psoriasis in the descendants of one parent is three times higher than that of the healthy child, and the incidence is higher in the descendants of both parents who have psoriasis.

2.Infect. Clinical practice has shown that the onset of psoriasis is associated with upper respiratory tract infections and tonsillitis.

Six percent of patients with psoriasis have a history of pharyngeal infection. We have found that psoriasis in many children is closely related to tonsillitis. For example, a mother and her three children had acute tonsillitis at the same time, and after the disease was controlled, three of them developed psoriasis.

In this case, antibiotics** are effective. The rash may improve or resolve markedly after tonsil removal, suggesting that infection is an important factor in the onset of psoriasis.

3.Metabolic disorders. Studies of psoriasis blood chemistry, histochemistry and pathophysiology have failed to yield beneficial results. In the past, it was thought that the onset of psoriasis was related to disorders of lipid metabolism. This is also a factor that causes psoriasis.

The above is the common ** of psoriasis, although the high incidence of psoriasis is some young people, but for the prevention of psoriasis in addition to young people, each of us should pay enough attention, once psoriasis "sticked" for a long period of time may be "entangled" with you, rather than looking around for a doctor, it is better to do the corresponding prevention work as soon as possible.

2a- What are the initial symptoms of psoriasis.

Psoriasis starts as a red bump, then slowly grows larger and gradually appears to shed flakes.

During the period of illness, you should first avoid eating beef, dog meat, wine, spicy seafood, etc.

The initial symptoms of psoriasis are mostly inflammatory flat papules the size of pins to lentils, which slowly increase to coin or larger reddish infiltrates with thick flakes on the surface, some of which are shaped like oyster shells. After **, the plaque color becomes lighter, and after the area shrinkage lesion subsides, there may be transient pigmentation spots or depigmented spots on the **.

Psoriasis disease is slow and easy to reverse, and it is more likely to occur on the scalp and extensor sides of the limbs; Psoriasis begins with pale red papules about the size of mung beans; With the development of papules, they gradually expand and fuse into brown-red patches of different sizes and shapes, with clear boundaries with the ** surface, and white scales will appear on the surface or cover multiple layers of dry gray-white, and after scraping off the scales, punctate hemorrhage will appear.

Although the scientific name of psoriasis is psoriasis, it is actually not related to fungal infection, it is not an infectious disease, but an immune disease. The scientific name of psoriasis should be called psoriasis, and its symptoms have many different manifestations, and there are many types of psoriasis, some of the common types are as follows:

1. Psoriasis vulgaris, patients will have red patches and pimples on the body, that is, small red spots or patches of plaques. The initial symptoms of psoriasis vulgaris are that small red dots will appear on the extensor sides of the limbs and scalp, and the red dots will gradually expand to the size of a coin. In addition, patients will have severe desquamation symptoms, which will gradually peel off and the dandruff will be white in color;

2. Acute guttate psoriasis, this type of attack is more urgent, young patients are more common, acute guttate psoriasis is a secondary infectious disease, generally upper respiratory tract infection, that is, pharyngeal infection, tonsillitis about 1-3 weeks later, suddenly red dots appear all over the body, sometimes there will be itching symptoms, sometimes there will be no itching symptoms, but the onset is very fast, there may not be scales. However, small red dots can quickly spread all over the body, and sometimes appear on the face, so do not mistake it for eczema, and you should go to the hospital for a diagnosis by a professional doctor.

Symptoms of psoriasis.

Initial lesions are often red packets or brownish-red dots or maculopapular rashes with dry scales that gradually expand into brownish-red patches with clear borders and adjacent ones that can merge with each other. The scales are silvery-white and gradually thickened. When scratching, the scales fly off one after another, revealing a red smooth base, which is called the film phenomenon, and when the film is peeled off, there are small punctate hemorrhages the size of a needle, and this kind of thin red surface is called the Ospitz phenomenon.

Some patients' scales are thick and hard, which can hinder the expansion and contraction of **, especially the thick and hard scales in joints and other places, which are easy to rupture and make ** crack and painful.

Psoriasis vulgaris, which is common, can progress rapidly (rapid progression), remain unchanged for a long time (quiescent), or gradually disappear (catagen). Generally speaking, the inflammation of the acute lesion that develops more rapidly is more severe, red in color, less scales, widely distributed, more scattered, and the damage is small and often punctate: light or drip-like, with a strong itching or burning sensation.

At present, psoriasis is possible, the key is to target your condition and be effective.
