Psoriasis: pictures, symptoms and treatment in adults and children.

The prevalence of skin diseases among the planet's population is quite large.One of the most common chronic skin disorders is called psoriasis - on average from 2 to 5%(in other studies - from 3 to 7%) the world's population suffers from this type of dermatosis.Therefore, it is important to understand whether psoriasis is transmitted from person to person who is more predisposed to this skin disorder, such as avoiding complications, are there effective ways to treat medicines and popular remedies

What is it?

Systemic skin disease, characterized by the appearance of pathological processes, in addition to the skin, also on the nails, a number of internal organs, joints - one of the many definitions of psoriasis.This dermatological violation significantly reduces the qualitative level of patient's health, having a devastating effect on metabolism (a process associated with metabolism) in the body, increases the symptoms of cardiovascular disease and contributes to depressive conditions.Knowing his usual name - Lichen Scaly, it is easy to assume what psoriasis looks like: redness in the papules (forming with a glossy smooth surface, the shape resembles hemisphere, color - pink) - in an early small phase, with a pin head.After a while (a few days), the paples are covered with lightly removed scales, have a white silver shade.The patient's type of skin with psoriasis in loved ones and others arouses interest, is it contrast or not psoriasis?According to dermatologists, there is no risk of infecting the patient's others.Disease carrier-any microorganisms-crafts.The skin is affected here (the upper layers die) - this is how the body responds to external stimuli, to physiological dysfunctions during metabolism.

MKB -0 code

A detailed description of all types of types of psoriasis, their features are given in the international classification of-ICD 10 (10th version of review).The orline of a dermatological disease decreases in the release of such types:

1. Simple (vulgar or bad).It is considered one of the most common among all psoriasis-prevalence is approaching 80-90%.We introduce them to its manifestations: a white (gray) or silver-white layer of scales forms into a healthy skin, which are thick, inflamed areas of the skin, which are easily dried and peeled.Skin areas under such a layer are very sensitive to damage, undergoing bleeding (containing many smaller vessels), which is why they are called psoriatic plaques.Growing up in size, the plates can join one another, turning into a single place - "lake of paraffin".These points can be spread throughout the body.There is a simple psoriasis on the head, including in the hair with the hair, along the border where the hair growth ends.After a while (several months) of "lakes", they tend to disappear, leaving a bleached skin.MKB Code 10 - L40.0.
2. Point (drop of form, forbidden).This type of psoriasis has a slightly lower than vulgar prevalence.A sudden manifestation is natural in it - in patients, numerous small, dried rash that extends over the skin have a round configuration (or a decrease), a lilac or reddish tone.Code - L4.
3. Pustulenia.It bears its name due to the appearance of pustules-blusters (bubbles) that occur on the surface of healthy skin and contain exudates (fluid, sterile in composition, is a transdict).Code-L1-3, L40.82.
4. Psoriasis of nail plates.The wings and legs undergo damage - they become fragile, lose their natural color, thickening and delax.Also, the result of the disease may be nail loss.Treatment is complicated due to accumulation under the plaque of dead epidermis cells, dirt and dust.Care, attractive and long -term care of nail plates is simply necessary.Code - L86.
5. Arthropatic.It is the "initiator" of the appearance of the inflammation process in the joints, also in the connective tissue of the body.First of all, the small joints are most often sensitive to it - the phalanx of the fingers or legs swell.The irritation occurs in cool (cold), raw weather.Such psoriasis is fraught with the emergence of a severe form of the disease and even establishing disability to the patient.Code - L5+.
6. Opposite or psoriasis of curvature surfaces.Manifested externally in the form of smooth stains, without peeling (or is little) inflamed spots (with redness) of the skin.Localization - in sites of skin folds (in the armpit area, in the groin, in the inner surfaces of the thigh, etc.).Code-l83-4.
7. Erythrodermic.This type of psoriasis is characterized by the inflammatory process of the whole body, their peel.It is often a consequence of the aggravated form of vulgar psoriasis, or excessive psychological stress, transferred a cold.Sometimes it happens as a reaction to the alcohol received.Code - L85.
8. Another psoriasis - this species includes all other, atypical leakage options.Code - L8.

Causes

The basis of psoriasis can be different factors within the framework of theories of this type of dermatosis.

1. Genetics.There is no need to prove whether psoriasis is contrasting with a genetic predisposition.The genetic theory of psoriasis only speaks to an increased risk of the emergence of this dermatosis as a result of an inheritance factor in humans.
2. Violation of hormonal background in the body (endocrine theory).Restorative (regenerative) tissue functions (skin) are lost due to improper functioning of the endocrine system.
3. The consequences of infections.During the treatment of infectious diseases, complications can begin, reflect directly on the skin (infectious theory) - the loss of the skin of the ability to function normally after exposure to microorganisms, fungi, etc.
4. Violation of metabolism (metabolic functions) of the body: skin disease is initiated by inadequate circulatory system, for example, lymphocytes are highly concentrated in certain areas of the skin.This also includes diabetes mellitus - it is with it that metabolic processes are significantly distorted.(The theory of exchange).
5. Immunity.Inadequate work of the immune system leads to the impossibility of the body's proper response to threats to health.This is also manifested through skin reactions.(Immune theory).

A number of reasons can be associated with the features of an individual's life:

• irrational diet;
• abuse of psychoactive substances (alcohol, nicotine, etc.);
• improper use of medicines;
• excessive mental stress, stress;
• A sharp change in climatic conditions.

Symptoms and phases

Symptoms of psoriasis vary depending on the stage of the disease itself.There are 4 stages of psoriasis.

Novices

In the initial phase, in the hands, stomach, back or other parts, individual psoriatic manifestations are visible: small, pink papules, with an excellent and polished surface.These are points manifestations, over time there is an increase in their countries and locations.

Progressive.

At this stage, the skin peel is added to the symptoms - initially in the central part of the papules, which gradually grow, forming a rose -colored Korola.The shape of the diseases damaged by the disease gradually acquires a different configuration (Kebner symptoms).Itching is observed.The duration of the phase is about 2 weeks.

Immovable

In terms of duration, it does not have specific time-after the time it can move to the next stage (4, regression), or return to the previous (3, progressing).The new elements in the skin cease to appear, the growth of existing tiles slows down, stops at all.

Regressive.

The phase fills the cycle of the disease - the peel goes "in nothing", the plates become flat, lose their swelling.Objects, as a rule, do not atrophy and do not form wounds.Although areas undergoing the disease lose their (bleaching) pigment after the time it passes.

In children

The appearance of the disease in children is observed in rare cases.But at the same time, the course of psoriasis continues in a complex form: the skin shell is quickly covered with bubbles, almost the entire surface of the skin is caught.Bubbles contain a liquid (first - transparent, then it is cloudy), its tests indicate the presence of pathological cells.Therapeutic intervention should be emergency.

In adults

Symptoms and treatment in adults are based on the characteristics of the course of the disease.Patients are fixed:

• the general state of physical weakening of the body;
• a sense of power and fatigue;
• Depression and experience of depressive state.

A specific symptom depends on the type of psoriasis and its localization in the skin.For example, standing, the manifestation of psoriasis is most often observed on the knees, feet.With complications, symptoms are improved by limb edema.

Treatment

The treatment of psoriasis drugs is based on several approaches, depending on the characteristics of the disease.Tools are used to normalize immunity (immunosuppression method);agents that regulate metabolism and reduce inflammatory manifestations (corticosteroids);It means that they reduce cell dividing functions and prevent tumors (cytostatics).As a means of direct exposure to affected areas, oil from psoriasis to the skin is applicable.Is created to deal with the dryness of the skin and the effect of "tightening".A special place is occupied by non -Hormonal ointments that affect the seals of inflammation, but not leading to an increase in hormonal background.

Ointments from psoriasis:

Non -Hormonal Impact:

• Zinc - is an antiseptic, a tool for drying and removing the inflammation process;
• Salicyl - affects the best separation of the keratinizing layer of the skin;

Exposure

The therapeutic effect is given faster than oil (all of them are intended to suppress itching, inflammation, allergies), but has side effects.Patients are often offered oil that eliminates psoriatic symptoms.An example is a soluble drug - one of its ingredients is used during the day, the other at night.The oil includes natural ingredients (lichen, clay mushrooms, raven, prickly).Considering the treatment of hydrogen peroxide psoriasis, the reviews are distributed depending on the therapeutic effect obtained.On the other hand, it depends on the severity and type of skin violation itself.Apply peroxide to 2 options:

• from the outside (compresses, lotions of affected areas);
• Inside (a drop of peroxide is added a few tablespoons of water, screwed half an hour before meals; also digging a few drops in the nose).

The therapeutic effect of hydrogen peroxide is effective in the early stages of psoriasis and if the disease is not initiated.

Treatment of psoriasis with folk remedies at home

A number of questions - how to cure psoriasis at home, if the treatment result will be stored in the case of public funds - is discussed by specialists and patients themselves.Psoriasis is called relapse diseases that have a chronic form.Therefore, it is important to adjust its course - the full cure is very complicated.Of the popular remedies, the most effective are called:

• Tar (effective in the initial stages of dermatosis, relieves inflammation);
• solidol (faces psoriasis without difficulty, is effective for nails and heel area);
• Soda (affects the acidic environment, in particular, the skin - thereby neutralizes the symptoms of psoriasis);
• Plants (like a series of celandine, the level of inflammation of psoriasis of areas affected by psoriasis decreases, skin regeneration improves).

Make sure you track what kind of food there is.The diet should ensure nutrient balance (carbohydrates, proteins, fats) and not violate the metabolic features of the patient.Natural allergens included in food should be completely excluded.It is important to remember that the treatment of psoriasis should be complex.Its duration is determined by both the depth of body damage and the stage of development.
