Psoriasis, like all other types of chronic skin diseases of an inflammatory nature, has its own stages of development.By diagnosing the disease, the doctor necessarily takes into consideration not only the variety of the disease, its shape, severity and cause of occurrence, but also the stage of development.For an experienced expert, it is not difficult to designate the stages of psoriasis, as all differ in specific symptoms, which are almost impossible to confuse.Depending on the manifestations of the disease, the patient receives appropriate proper treatment to reduce and relieve external symptoms and the elimination of factors that cause the development of the disease.
The beginning of the disease
Despite the fact that complete psoriasis methods have not yet been found, such as the reasons that cause their occurrence, shapes, types and stages of disease development were very well studied.Thus, in the development and course of the disease, three main stages are distinguished: initial or progressive, stationary and "faded", regressive.
The characteristic processes of the beginning or exacerbation of the course of the disease, that is, the progressive stage, is the appearance of neoplasms in the form of a rash on the surface of the skin.At the same time, the elements of the rash (point, pointed, lenticular) tend to peripheral growth.Spreading in healthy areas of the skin, small rashes form round or oval psoriatic plates clearly.
In the disease progression phase, psoriatic plaques are painted in pink or bright red, and a specific crust of peeling in the lesions is absent.The thick edges of the defeat's outbreaks are not covered with whitish scales.
During the progressive stage of psoriasis, the patient experiences itching, a slight burning sensation in areas of skin lesion, a slight poorly -overall.With any contact with clothing and hairstyle areas, new papular eruptions appear.
Additional development
After 1-4 weeks, the second stage of disease development occurs stationary.The process of exacerbation weakens, the color of psoriatic plates becomes less intense, ancient rashes are absorbed, the formation of new stopped rashes.
The healing of the papules occurs peripheral, that is, from the center to the edges, which determines the characteristic shape of the plates's ringtone.At the stationary stage, the surface of the lesions is completely covered with scams of a characteristic whitish color.
At the regressive stage of psoriasis, at the attenuation phase of the disease and its transition to the period of remission, all foci of the lesion are gradually completely resolved, the color of the plates becomes almost indistinguishable from healthy skin color, the peeling of the epidermis decreases markedly, burning and ichie.Around the outbreaks, the "Voronov collar" so called - a ring of dense and dense layers of the skin appears.Along the periphery of all rashes, the skin is discolored.The disease regression stage under the influence of intense proper treatment can last a long time, sometimes until several months.Then psoriasis removes completely, leaving insignificant plates in the body in the most common places for this disease (elbows, knees, stomach, buttocks).
In the task of a person who suffers from psoriasis, to constantly maintain the disease at the stage of remission.Control over all aspects of life and disease prevention will require the most rigorous - this is not a secret.But this is the only way to achieve positive treatment results, fix them and continue normal existence in society.
