Psoriasis: Causes, Symptoms and Treatment
The chapter is a common skin disease that affects the life cycle of the skin cells. When infected, the cells quickly collect on the skin surface to form thick silver scales and itch, dry and red layers that sometimes cause pain. Psoriasis is a stubborn disease that lasts for a long time. There are periods in which symptoms of psoriasis improve and decrease, while psoriasis strengthens in other periods. For some patients, psoriasis is no longer a source of discomfort. As far as others are concerned, it can cause disability, especially if it is linked to arthritis. There is no healing of psoriasis, but psoriasis treatment can achieve significant improvement, and taking lifestyle measures, such as: using the cortisone -ed and the exposure of the skin to natural sunlight in moderation and in a controlled way that would improve the symptoms of psoriasis. Psoriasis types There are different types of psoriasis, and it is as follows: 1. Memorial psoriasis is the most common type and causes thin low dry, down colored and red skin covered with silver scales, these chips are itchy and sometimes painful and can occur everywhere in the body, including the genitals and soft tissues in the mouth. Some of these chips can occur and the number can be large, and in severe cases the skin around the joints and bleeding can be cracked. 2. Nails psoriasis can appear on the fingers of the hands and feet and cause scars, or abnormal growth and a change in the color of the nails, and the nails with psoriasis can be redeemed, even to the point of decay and exit of their place, and in severe cases the nails are fragmented. 3. Guttate psoriasis. This type of disease especially affects people under the age of 30, and it usually appears due to a bacterial infection, such as stretch bacteria affecting the throat, in this type of small layers as it is drops on the back, arms, legs and scalp. These layers are covered with thin and not -thick scales, and in some cases one seizure appears and then disappears on their own, while attacks are repeated in other cases, especially in people with chronic pollution in the breathing streams. 4. Inversion Psoriasis / Flexurral psoriasis occurs regularly in the bars between the thighs, and in the two armpits, that is, among the armpits, among the breasts and around the genitals, folds are characterized by the rise of red areas and in the skin, which is more common in humans and is worse. 5. Pustular pussoriasis. This type usually develops rapidly, as blisters full of pus appear only hours after the redness of the skin and its sensitivity, these pimples dry within a day or two, but they can reappear every few days or a few weeks, the phenomenon of psoriasis fever, cold, severe itching and fatigue. 6. This type may appear due to severe sunburn, or due to taking corticosteroids or other medicines, and may also develop from any other types of psoriasis that have not been properly treated and as it should. 7. Psoriatic arthritis is characterized by the occurrence of arthritis accompanied by pain and swelling in the joints, and this type of disease can also cause inflammation of the eye, such as conjunctivitis, and symptoms range from light and sharp. This type of psoriasis can also cause hardening and serious damage to the joints, which in the most dangerous cases can lead to a permanent deformation. Causes and factors of psoriasis stem from psoriasis due to the cause of the immune system, specifically with a specific type of white blood cells called the lymphocytes. In normal normal mode, these cells move through the body to find exotic substances, such as: bacteria and viruses, but in patients with psoriasis these lymphocytes accidentally attack healthy skin cells. Effective lymphocytes are more than necessary than the necessary reactions in the immune system, such as: the expansion of blood vessels around the layers of the skin, and the amounts of other blood cells that can penetrate the skin. Due to these changes, the body produces more healthy skin cells and more lymphocytes and other white blood cells, and consequently new skin cells reach the outer layer of the skin very quickly instead of weeks as it is in the normal condition. But dead skin cells and white blood cells cannot fall quickly, which is why they collect in the form of thick cortical layers on the skin surface, this process can often be stopped by treatment. It is not exactly clear, what is the cause that leads to a disturbance of the activity of the lymphocytes in psoriasis patients, while researchers believe that genetic factors and environmental factors, both, play a role in this. Risk factors include factors that can provoke the following psoriasis: Infections that affect sore throat or oral ablution disease. Skin injury, such as: wound, some, scratching, insect stitch or acute sunburn. Tension. Cold weather. Smoke. Excessive drinking of alcohol. Some medicines, among them: lithium as a prescription for depressed mania disorder, some treated medicines such as beta -bans, anti -malaria and iodide. Psoriasis can affect any person, but people belonging to one of the following groups are more likely to develop psoriasis: family history of the disease. Those who live in a state of stress. Those suffering from excessive obesity. Smokers. Psoriasis treatment of the desired goals of psoriasis treatment: Stop the process that leads to excessive production of skin cells, reducing inflammation and low formation. Remove the shell and tender the skin. Types of different psoriasis can be divided into three groups: topical psoriasis treatment, psoriasis treatment with light, and treatment with oral medication, in the following clarification: 1. Topical treatments There are ice and ointment for fat on the skin intended for self -use and effective treatment of lights, even medium cases of psoriasis, in more severe cases of psoriasis. Classic treatment products include: Corticosteroids for topical treatment. Vitamin D. Anthralin. Retinoid. Calcineurin -brakeers. Salicylic acid. Moisturizing ice. 2. Phototherapy. The name of this type of psoriasis is performed using ultraviolet radiation, whether natural or industrial, and the simplest and easiest way to treat light is to expose the skin to the natural sunlight in a moderate way. There are other treatment methods with light that include the use of UV rays as a single treatment or inclusion with psoriasis treatment with medication, including the most important treatments: sunlight. Treatment with light. Light UV processing with a narrow range of frequencies. Optical chemical chemical. Excimer laser. Corrated optical treatment. 3.. Oral medicine in acute cases of psoriasis or in cases where other types of treatments are not beneficial. The doctor may prescribe oral medication by mouth or by injection and include: Rantoid. Cyclosporine. Methotrexate. Medicine affects the work of the immune system. Choosing the type of psoriasis is true that doctors decide the type of suitable treatment for psoriasis according to the type of disease, the degree of intensity thereof and the affected areas of the skin, but the traditional approach requires the treatment to start with the types of light treatments, such as: ice and ultraviolet radiation and then move to a more severe and effective treatment. The goal is to achieve the most effective way to slow down the process of changing cells, while exposure to the lowest possible side effects, J There has been many options for psoriasis, but it is sometimes a real challenge to find effective treatment as this disease is unexpected and unpredictable. The effect of treatment is also unexpected and unpredictable, as a treatment can be beneficial to a specific patient, while it is not for another patient, and over time the skin develops self -resistance to many treatments, which can cause the strongest treatments, very serious side effects. A consultation with a dermatologist should be consulted on the available treatment methods, especially if no improvement occurs after using a specific treatment, or when serious side effects occur, the doctor may match the treatment program or change the approach to ensure the symptoms in an optimal way.
