No one likes to be sick.But there are diseases that cause a person not only physical torment but also leave a trace in his appearance.And this is already a big problem: how can you put on a blouse or an open dress if the neck, elbows and knees are covered with ugly spots?
Causes of psoriasis
Doctors have not reached a common conclusion about the causes of psoriasis.There are suggestions that there are some causes of the disease.This includes poor functioning of the immune system, alcohol abuse (drug), poor nutrition and previous infectious diseases.It is believed that even a cold climate can affect the appearance of an unpleasant disease.
There are factors that favor the development of psoriasis, also called Lichen Planus.This can be: very thin skin, frequent contact with chemicals, excessive care of skin purity (upper layer tires), stress.Psoriasis can be recognized by red spots that suddenly appear on the skin.These are mainly the areas of the neck, lower back and knee joints.In some patients, liqueur can affect the head, legs and palms and nails.The most painful thing is when psoriasis appears on the face.In this case, the unfortunate person does not want to leave home because the stains are very visible.
The first signs of illness
Psoriasis appears as small red spots that resemble a rash.It can take different shapes - a point, a point, a coin.Sometimes, in severe cases, redness has the shape of an arch, a ring, even the shape of a continent on a world map.The disease can almost always be diagnosed visually due to its scales.They are formed from the center to the periphery and easily destroyed.Under the scales there is a place, whose bright red color is due to capillaries located near the surface of the skin.The upper layer of the skin thickens because cell division occurs much faster, approximately 8 times faster than normal.As a rule, spots appear symmetrically from both sides.The rash is preceded by fatigue, depression and drowsiness.Sometimes there is a depressive state.
Why is psoriasis dangerous?
Unfortunately, there are no medicines that can guarantee a cure for this unpleasant disease.The disease is believed to be hereditary.Psoriasis is afraid of ultraviolet rays.
Liken with scaly, at first glance, is not a very dangerous disease.Few people know that this secret disease can turn into a systemic disease.Endocrine, immune and nerve systems are affected.Thyroid glands, liver and kidneys can also be affected.
It is much easier to perform preventive treatment and to avoid irritation than to treat severe consequences of psoriasis.And for this reason - a healthy lifestyle, regular cleaning of the body, sport and sun!
