Psoriasis. All, without exception, have heard of this disease, and some people are familiar with him firsthand. Psoriasis is one of the most severe forms of dermatological diseases, which have a large number widespread and a large number of therapy resistant ways. About 6 % of the total population of the planet. It seems not so much. However, behind dry statistics, there are thousands and thousands of real people who are forced to live with this problem from year to year.
Despite the fact that psoriasis is absolutely no threat to life and general health, sick people are very overwhelmed by this disease, because the skin seems very non -aesthetic. Often sick people, even in hot weather, are forced to wear long -sleeved clothes, are ashamed to go to the beaches. Despite a very high level of development of modern medicine, the nature of the occurrence of a disease such as psoriasis has not yet been established. Of course, there are factors that serve as prerequisites for the development of the disease, but in general the causes of psoriasis are not yet clear to doctors.
One of the main psoriasis theories is a hypothesis about the called genetic factor. As a rule, psoriasis in children under 10 years is precisely a hereditary form of the disease - in the baby's genre, you almost always find a relative suffering from a similar disease. But if psoriasis manifests itself at a more mature age, doctors suggest that the disease has a different nature of origin - bacterial or viral.
Clinical manifestations of psoriasis
Psoriasis is easily diagnosed. An experienced dermatologist based on a visual examination easily diagnosed the disease. The symptoms of psoriasis are as follows: a sick person has monomorphic rashes - papules (nodules), various genres to their size, which merge with each other and form the so -called plates. These plates do not have a clear location and may be anywhere on the skin.
At the beginning of the disease, rash are limited. Skin rashes are single and are usually located in the elbow and knee joint area, scalp, sacred, etc. The plates have a very clear outline, in the color ranging from pale - pink to bright - red. Inside the plates, the skin is covered with silver white scales. They are the ones who scrape them to diagnose psoriasis to obtain a triad:
- A special place.
- Terminal movie.
- Blood Dew.
Only in the presence of all three terms doctors diagnose psoriasis in a sick person. Dermatologists distinguish between three different stages from psoriasis:
- The progressive stage of psoriasis. At this stage, the first symptoms of the disease are improved, the disease progresses and the state worsens painfully.
- The stationary stage of psoriasis. At this stage, the disease is at the height of development.
- Regression stage. At this stage of psoriasis, clinical manifestations of disease disease are declining, the condition of the sick person improves significantly.
Anyone who has psoriasis is necessarily passing all three stages of the disease. However, if the disease is diagnosed in time and treatment is prescribed in a timely manner, the duration of the second phase (stationary) will be possible to reduce to zero.
In addition to the stages of psoriasis, there is another type of qualification of this disease. By location and type of rash, psoriasis is divided into:
- Psoriasis of the ordinary plate.
- Exudation psoriasis. This type of psoriasis differs from the usual appearance, in addition to common rashes of the plate in the clinical image of the disease course, a pronounced inflammatory reaction of the skin occurs. The flashing scales appear on the skin, exposing to which a bright pink wet surface opens.
- Another psoriasis. In the clinical image of the course of this form of disease, in addition to plates, the joints are affected in the skin. Simply put, this psoriasis is a combination of psoriasis and arthritis. The severity of this disease can be very different - from the weak arthralgia of the individual joints and to royal widespread injuries, leading to patients' inability.
- Pustulenia psoriasis. With this type of psoriasis, palms and soles are affected. This form of psoriasis is considered one of the most serious. If the injury of this type of psoriasis is extensive, a sick person has a significant increase in body temperature, a significant deterioration in the general health of a sick person, a change in the blood formula - an increase in HRV. At the bottom of the bright erythema, small pustules occur, which cause a burning sensation and painful sensations when touching. Such outbreaks of skin damage occupy a very extensive area and bring many uncomfortable sensations to a sick person. When these affected areas of the skin merge into extensive focuses, and the epidermis is highlighted as a result of which the severe form of erythroderm develops.
- The most common is limited pustular psoriasis. In this form, the disease is not very extensive, located mainly in the elbow curves, in the soles and palm trees. However, despite the fact that the course of this form of the disease is easier, it is characterized by frequent and persistent relapses. In addition, it is precisely for this form of psoriasis that often a provocative factor is contact with various chemicals found in everyday human life.
- Psoriatic erythroderm. This form of psoriasis also has a severe form of the course and gradually develops as a result of psoriasis progression. The skin is swollen, red, with pronounced signs of a severe inflammatory process. If the disease is not treated, a sick person may have symptoms such as fever, increased lymph nodes, impaired functioning of the cardiovascular system, hair loss, change in normal blood indicators.
In children, doctors most often diagnose psoriasis of the folds. In addition, fold psoriasis is often observed in people with diabetes. Psoriatic lesions are under the mammary glands, groin, cervical folds and axillary cavities, under the knees and the elbow fold. The boundaries of rashes are strongly described, the injuries themselves have a rich pink, peel a little. Psoriasis signs are very specific-it is hard to confuse them with something.
Psoriasis diet
Separately, it is necessary to talk about a factor as significant as the diet of a patient with psoriasis. Although few people know this, in any form of psoriasis, an allergic factor is necessarily present. This is why all patients with psoriasis people for the successful treatment of psoriasis are simply required to observe a special diet that eliminates the use of allergens and can lead to exacerbation of the disease course. Psoriasis diet is one of the components of the successful treatment of psoriasis.
The diet should be carefully thought and balanced. The diet should be complete, with plenty of energy, contains the necessary amount of protein, fats and carbohydrates. After all, food nutrition should not be inferior - the body should receive all nutrients, vitamins and tracking elements necessary for normal functioning.
However, as mentioned above, from the diet, it is necessary to completely exclude all substances that, in one way or another, can cause allergic reactions of the body. Below is a list of products that usually cause allergies:
- Citrus fruits. All citrus fruits, without exception, whether oranges, lemons or thoranjas, are the strongest allergens. People who suffer from psoriasis should exclude citrus fruits in any way, even in the form of restored juices.
- Chicken eggs also usually cause allergic reactions in people. If it is difficult for a sick person to be out of eggs, they can be successfully replaced by quail. Quail eggs do not cause allergic reactions.
- Whole cow's milk. The use of whole cow's milk can lead to a 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 tracking elements. Just replace whole milk with sour products.
- Try not to eat vegetables and fruits containing red pigment - tomatoes, strawberries, cherries, red pepper. Patients with psoriasis for people that these fruits and vegetables can only be consumed after undergoing heat treatment.
- It is also necessary to exclude all clear, greasy, fried and smoked dishes from the diet.
- We should also try to avoid eating mushrooms anyway - mushroom soups, sauces, fried and pickled mushrooms.
- When cooking, sick people should refuse to use spicy spices and a large amount of table salt.
- Nor is it recommended to eat several sauces - mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard. It is better to replace them with sour cream, which will bring to health much greater benefit.
It is preferable to eat all the food in cooked, cooked or cooked. Transhipment not only causes an unpleasant sensation of severity in the stomach, but can also lead to a deterioration as a patient with psoriasis.
During the periods of significant exacerbation of the disease, it is very useful to conduct the days of fasting so -called. However, in no case the concept of "discharge day" with the concept of "cleaning the body" can be confused. On discharge days, only one type of product should be consumed for food. It can be kefir, or apples or cooked fish. Do not organize more than one day fasting a week.
