Psoriasis (Lichen Scaly) in today's world has become a huge problem of humanity.Due to its external manifestation, this disease continues to make distrust of healthy people and leaves a significant impression on nature and the desire to communicate with patients with psoriasis.An ignorant person can easily confuse psoriasis with an infectious skin disease and be afraid of infections.A person's age and sex do not affect the development of psoriasis: a person may have a disease from birth or may seem completely suddenly.A higher percentage is sick at an early age.
Dermatologist is involved in the treatment of psoriasis.If psoriasis is suspected, contact this expert: it will conduct diagnoses (may require a skin biopsy), will determine the form of the disease and will treat.
The causes of psoriasis
Psoriasis is associated with a violation of the skin cell division and maturation cycle.With this disease, the clean area of the upper layers of the skin occurs faster than normal.There are several opinions of medical experts on the reasons for the development of psoriasis, and the study of this issue is still underway.Some distinguish two types of this disease: the first is associated with impaired immunological processes inherited and more often found in a young age, and the second type is not associated with heredity and does not affect the skin, such as the first, but nails and joints and occurs in adulthood.
Other researchers tend to believe that psoriasis is based on impaired immunological systems caused by other pathologies, tensions, inadequate climate and even diet.Thus, according to this opinion, psoriasis is a systemic disease that can become psoriatic arthritis and extend to other tissues and organs with some impaired immunity.
With confidence, we can say that psoriasis is a disease of a non -infectious nature.Today it is considered an autoimmune hereditary multifactorial disease.
Psoriasis signs triad
The diagnosis of psoriasis is not always easy, even for a dermatologist.Regardless of the form of psoriasis, there are symptoms, whose presence definitely indicates this disease.They are commonly called the psoriasis signal triad:
- “Stearin Points” - If you start exfoliating the plates, Starin's particle -like scales will separate, and the point itself has a resemblance to the steerine point;
- "Film Terminal" is a bright bright area of the skin, which can be detected by eliminating all scales;
- "Bloody Dew" is the appearance of small drops of blood with a complete scraping of plates.
Psoriasis is an insidious disease whose beginning is suddenly and unpredictable, and a complete cure is not always possible.This disease usually in the treatment process enters a latent form.It is difficult to diagnose psoriasis due to the variety of its forms and stages, each of which is characterized by its own symptoms.
Stages of psoriasis
In the development of psoriasis, three stages are distinguished:
- Progressive (characterized by the appearance of a large number of small papules in new areas);
- Stationary (characterized by the absence of new rashes and the formation in the affected areas of white silver scales);
- Regressive (characterized by gradual resorption of plates, skin color normalization and a declammation decrease).
How is psoriasis transmitted and overlap?
Our article has already said about the non -infectious nature of psoriasis.This means that psoriasis is not contagious and is not afraid of contacts and communication with people who have it.Psoriasis has no transmission routes through kisses, through sexual contact or through the blood.There is also no transmission of the disease in contact with the disease, so that you can safely take care of patients with psoriasis and use ordinary objects.Even when touching directly in the infected areas of the skin, the infection does not occur.Of all this, we can conclude that a person who is sick with psoriasis is not dangerous for healthy people and that this disease should have no effect on the attitude toward him of society.
How dangerous psoriasis is
The complications of psoriasis are damage to nails and severe forms of the disease (psoriatic arthritis, pustular, erythroderma, seborrheic psoriasis, launcher and exudative).The psoriatic lesions of the nails themselves already indicate the additional development of joint pathology.The distortion of the nail plate in the presence of psoriasis is a clear
A bell for the development of psoriatic arthritis.The Presence of Psoriatic Arthritis can lead to violations in the work of many systems and organs of the body: conjunctivitis and other Eyes of the Eyes, gastrointestinal dissees and mucous membranes of the urinary tract, the Increase in the Liver and Spleen, Pathology of the Central Central(Up to Epileptic Seizures and Encephalopathy), Muscle Pain and Atrophy, Serious Disorders of the Heart of the Heart (Mio and Pericardite).This information allows us with confidence that psoriasis is not just a disease that causes psychological discomfort, but a serious pathology that requires timely treatment.
