Psoriasis. Everyone, without exception, heard about this disease and some people know him first. Psoriasis is one of the most serious forms of dermatological diseases, with a fairly widespread and large number of forms resistant to therapy. The total population of the planet is approx. 6 %. It looks like not so much. However, behind the dry statistics, thousands and thousands of real people are forced to use this problem year after year.
Although psoriasis is not at all a threat to life and health, sick people are very much burdened by this disease because the skin seems very fair. Often patients, even in hot weather, are forced to wear long -sleeved clothes, they are embarrassed to go to the beaches. Although modern medicine develops a fairly high level of development, a disease such as psoriasis, the occurrence of psoriasis, has not yet occurred. Of course, there are factors that serve as a prerequisite for the development of the disease, but usually the causes of psoriasis are still unclear for doctors.
One of the main theories of psoriasis is the hypothesis of the genetic factor given by SO. As a general rule, children under the age of 10 are psoriasis precisely the hereditary form of the disease - in the baby's genus you can almost always find a relative with a similar disease. But if psoriasis is manifested at a more mature age, doctors suggest that the disease of the disease is different - bacterium or virus.
Clinical manifestations of psoriasis
Psoriasis can be easily diagnosed. A visual examination -based experienced dermatologist can easily diagnose the disease. Symptoms of psoriasis are as follows: The sick person has monomorphic rashes - papules (lumps), various genders in size that merge with each other and form so -called plaques. These plaques do not have a clear localization and can be at any place of the skin.
At the beginning of the disease, rashes are limited. The rashes are unique and usually in the area of elbow and knee joints, scalp, sacrum, etc. The plaques have a very clean contour and change between pale - pink and shiny in color. Inside the plaques, the skin is covered with a silver - white scales. They are scratching them to diagnose psoriasis to obtain triad:
- A special spot.
- Terminal movie.
- He goes blood.
Only in the presence of all three terms are doctors diagnosed with psoriasis in a person. Dermatologists distinguish between three different stages of psoriasis:
- Psoriasis is a progressive stage. At this stage, the first symptoms of the disease are increased, the disease progresses and the condition is painfully deteriorating.
- The stages of psoriasis. At this stage, the development of the disease is highlighted.
- The stage of regression. At this stage of psoriasis, clinical manifestations of the disease decrease and the patient's condition improves significantly.
Any person with psoriasis necessarily conveys all three stages of the disease. However, if the disease is diagnosed in time and treatment is prescribed in time, the second phase (standing) duration may be reduced to zero.
Outside the psoriasis phase, there is another type of qualification of the disease. With the localization and type of rash, psoriasis is distributed:
- Ordinary plaque psoriasis.
- Psoriasis Exudation Psoriasis. This type of psoriasis differs from the usual appearance in the fact that, in addition to the usual plaque rashes in the clinical form of the disease process, the skin's outstanding inflammatory reaction occurs. Flashing scales on the skin appear when you expose which shiny - pink damp surface opens.
- Another psoriasis. In the clinical form of this form of disease, besides plaques, joints are affected by the skin. Simply put, this psoriasis is a combination of psoriasis and arthritis. The severity of this disease can be very different - from the poor arthralgia of the individual joints and the real general lesions that lead to patients' disability.
- Pustulenia psoriasis. This type of psoriasis affects the palm and sole. This form of psoriasis is considered one of the most serious. If the lesion of this type of psoriasis is extensive, the patient's body temperature increases significantly, which is a significant deterioration in the patient's general condition and a change in the blood formula - an increase in ESR. There are small pustules in the background of the shiny erytheme, which cause burning sensation and painful feeling during touch. Such focuses on skin damage occupy a very extensive area and cause a lot of discomfort for a sick person. When these affected areas of the skin are combined into extensive focus and the epidermis is separated, resulting in a severe form of erythroderma.
- The most common is limited pustular psoriasis. In this form, the disease is not very extensive, primarily in the bending of the elbow, on the sole and the palms. Despite the fact that the process of this form of disease is characterized by lighter, frequent and lasting relapses. In addition, it is precisely the form of psoriasis that it is a provocative factor in contact with the various chemicals in human everyday life.
- Psoriatic erythroderma. This form of psoriasis also has a severe form of the course and develops gradually as a result of the progress of psoriasis. The skin is pronounced with swollen, red, severe inflammatory processes. If the disease is not treated, the patient may have symptoms such as fever, increasing lymph nodes, damaged function of the cardiovascular system, hair loss, change in normal blood indicators.
In children, doctors most often diagnose psoriasis of folds. In addition, psoriasis of the folds is often observed in people with diabetes. The focuses of psoriasis lesions are below the mammary glands, in the groin, the cervical folds and the axillary cavities, the knee and the elbows in the bends. The boundaries of the rashes are sharply outlined, the injuries are rich in pink color, and slightly bounce slightly. The signs of psoriasis are very specific and difficult to disturb them with something.
Diet for psoriasis
Separately, you have to talk about a significant factor as the diet of a person with psoriasis. Although few people know about it, in any form of psoriasis, an allergic factor is necessarily present. This is the reason why all patients with psoriasis should simply monitor a special diet that eliminates the use of products containing allergens and can lead to worsening of the disease. The diet of psoriasis is one of the components of successful treatment of psoriasis.
The diet should be carefully considered and balanced. The diet should be complete, it should be quite energy valuable, containing the required amounts of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. After all, dietary nutrition should not be inferior - the body must receive all the nutrients, vitamins and trace elements needed for normal operation.
As mentioned above, from the diet, all substances that can cause allergic reactions in the body may be completely excluded. Below are the products that most often cause allergies:
- Citrus fruits. All citrus fruits, be it orange, lemon or grapefruit, are the strongest allergens. People with psoriasis should exclude citrus fruits in any form, even in the form of refurbished fruit juices.
- Chicken eggs often cause allergic reactions in people. If a patient is difficult to do without eggs, they can successfully replace the quail. Quail eggs do not cause allergic reactions.
- Whole cow's milk. The use of whole cows of milk can lead to deterioration in the health of a patient with human psoriasis. However, dairy products cannot be completely excluded from the diet, as they contain a large number of useful trace elements. Just replace the whole milk for sour -all.
- Try not to eat vegetables and fruits containing red pigment - tomatoes, strawberries, cherries, red pepper. Patients with psoriasis can only be consumed by these fruits and vegetables after thermal treatment.
- It is also necessary to exclude all sharp, greasy, fried and smoked food from the diet.
- We should try to avoid mushrooms in any form - mushroom leaves, sauces, fried and marinated mushrooms.
- During cooking, patients should deny the use of spicy spices and large amounts of table salt.
- It is not recommended to eat various sauces - mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard. It is best to replace them with sour cream, which is a much greater advantage.
Rather, to eat all the food in cooked, cooked or steamed form. The nutrition should be a fragment - foods should be taken 5-7 times a day more often than usual. Not only does the overflow cause discomfort in the stomach, it can also lead to deterioration in the condition of a patient with psoriasis.
During the significant aggravation of the disease, the so -called fasting days are very useful. At the same time, the concept of "unloading day" related to the concept of "body cleaning" cannot be confused. During the unloading days, only one type of product should be consumed for food. It can be kefir or apple or cooked fish. Do not arrange more than one fast day.
Treatment of psoriasis with folk medicine
The treatment of psoriasis should be under strict control of a dermatologist. Any psoriasis medication should only be used by the doctor and should be used strictly according to the treatment system. Apart from official medicine, there are many traditional drug recipes that allow the disease to be rapidly and effective and improve the patient's well. Below is the most effective one of the methods, but no matter what prescription you choose, be sure to consult your doctor before using it.
Often, the use of medicine for medicine enables the removal of all manifestations of psoriasis and can achieve lasting remission for many years. However, do not overturn if the first selected recipe does not help. Even in official medicine, the individual treatment system is selected for all patients. What is effective for one person cannot have therapeutic effect for another patient.
About the same thing happens when treated with traditional medicinal prescriptions. If a patient with psoriasis is possible at home, but you need to try it in several ways. If one method did not help the patient, you should try another. As a general rule, the patient will necessarily find the recipe that will help him. In addition, do not expect an immediate result - you will not see it after the first procedure. Do not discard the treatment started after 1 to 2 applications. Go completely at least one course. Usually, however, the visible improvement occurs after 10-15 days.
Complex measures help increase the efficiency of treatment. So, for example, outdoor use is very effectively combined with the use of external devices. In addition, treatment with folk methods is essential to monitor therapeutic diet, take stimulating drugs and conduct a healthy lifestyle. An integrated approach helps the patient to achieve the best treatment results.
Psoriasis is a good drug for flaxseed. After 5-7 days, linseed infusion largely removes clinical manifestations of psoriasis. To prepare the infusion, you need to sleep in an enamel container with a tablespoon of linseed, pour a glass of boiling water, roll it with a towel and let it cook one day. The infusion should then be boiled and immediately removed from the fire, but the source of the infusion does not allow it. After the infusion has cooled, it should be filtered with gauze tissue. Take a decoction in the morning, on an empty stomach, after drinking activated charcoal, at a tablet speed at 10 kilograms. During the treatment, the patient should fully exclude the use of coffee and products containing caffeine from his diet. During the treatment of psoriasis, it should be held for at least 20 days with the help of infusion of linseed. This method is very good in cases where you need to get rid of plaques as quickly as possible. At the same time, you should not stop the treatment process prematurely, immediately after eliminating the external manifestations of the disease.
