Causes of psoriasis
Doctors did not come to a joint conclusion on the causes of psoriasis.There are suggestions that there are several causes of the disease.This includes the poor functioning of the immune system, alcohol abuse (drugs), poor nutrition and previous contagious diseases.It is believed that even a cold climate can affect the occurrence of an unpleasant disease.
There are factors that favor the development of psoriasis, which are called Lichen Planus.It could be: very thin leather, frequent contact with chemicals, excessive skin cleanity (the upper layer switches off), stress.Psoriasis can be recognized by red spots that suddenly appear on the skin.These are mainly areas of doors, lower back and knee joints.In some patients, Licho can affect the scalp, feet and palms and nails.The most obvious thing is when psoriasis appears on the face.In this case, an unfortunate person does not want to leave the house because the stains are very noticeable.
First signs of illness
Psoriasis appears as small red dots that look like a rash.It can take over different forms - a point, drop, coin.Sometimes in difficult cases, the rash has a shape of onions, the rings, even the form of a continent on the map of the world.The disease can almost always always be diagnosed with visually because of its scales.They are formed from the center to the periphery and are easily bold.Under scales there is a place, bright red color due to capillaries located near the skin surface.The upper layer of the skin is thickened because the cells appears much faster, approximately 8 times faster than normal.As a rule, stains look symmetrically on both sides.Rash precedes fatigue, depression and drowsiness.Sometimes there are depressive states.
Why is psoriasis dangerous?
Unfortunately, there are no drugs that can guarantee the medicine for this unpleasant disease.The disease is believed to be hereditary.Psoriasis is afraid of ultraviolet rays.
Scaly Lichen, at first glance, is not a dangerous disease.A little people know that this insidious disease can be converted into a systemic disease.In endocrine, immune and nervous systems are affected.They can also affect the thyroid gland, liver and kidneys.
It is much easier to conduct preventive treatment and avoid deterioration than to treat severe consequences of psoriasis.And because - a healthy lifestyle, regular cleaning of the body, sports and sunbathing!
