Psoriasis (scaly lichen) in today's world has become a massive problem of humanity.Due to its external manifestation, this disease continues to be wary of healthy people and leaves a significant imprint on nature and the desire to communicate with patients with psoriasis.An ignorant person can easily confuse psoriasis with an infectious skin disease and be afraid of infection.A person's age and gender does not affect the development of psoriasis: a person can have a disease from birth, or may appear completely suddenly.A higher percentage is sick at a young age.
The dermatologist is engaged in the treatment of psoriasis.If psoriasis is suspected, be sure to contact this specialist: it will direct diagnoses (this may require a skin biopsy), determine the shape of the disease and take treatment.
The causes of psoriasis
Psoriasis is associated with a violation of the division and maturation cycle of skin cells.With this disease, the wiping of the upper layer of the skin occurs faster than usual.There are several opinions on doctors specializing in the reasons for the development of psoriasis, and the study of this question is still underway.Some distinguish two types of this disease: the first is associated with an alteration of inherited immune processes, and is more often at a young age, and the second type is not associated with inheritance and does not affect the skin, like the first, but nails and joints and occurs in adults.
Other researchers are inclined to believe that psoriasis is based on an alteration of immune systems caused by other pathologies, stress, an inappropriate climate and even a diet.Thus, according to this opinion, psoriasis is a systemic disease which can be transformed into psoriatic arthritis and extend to other tissues and organs with a certain altered immunity.
With confidence, we can say that psoriasis is a non -infectious disease.Today, it is considered a multifactorial hereditary autoimmune disease.
Triad of Psoriasis signs
The diagnosis of psoriasis is not always easy even for a dermatologist.Whatever the form of psoriasis, there are symptoms, the presence of which definitively indicates this disease.They are commonly called a triad of signs of psoriasis:
- "Stearine sptures"-If you start to exfoliate the plates yourself, then the scales similar to the Starin particles separate, and the spot itself has a resemblance to the stearine spot;
- The "terminal film" is a bright bright bright area of the skin, which can be detected by eliminating all the scales;
- "Bloody Dew" is the appearance of small drops of blood with a complete scraping of plates.
Psoriasis is an insidious disease, the beginning of which is suddenly and unpredictable, and a complete remedy is not always possible.This disease is often under treatment goes in a latent form.It is difficult to diagnose psoriasis because of the variety of its forms and stages, each of which is characterized by its own symptoms.
Psoriasis stages
In the development of psoriasis, three stages are distinguished:
- Progressive (characterized by the appearance of a large number of small papules in new areas);
- stationary (characterized by the absence of new rashes and training in the already affected areas of silver white scales);
- Regressive (characterized by a progressive resorption of plates, normalization of skin color and a decrease in the coat).
How is psoriasis transmitted and overlapped?
Our article has already talked about the non -infectious nature of psoriasis.This means that psoriasis is not contagious and is not afraid of contacts and communication with people who have it.Psoriasis has no transmission or kisses, by sexual contact or by blood.There is also no transmission of the disease contact house, so you can take care of patients with psoriasis and use common objects.Even when it touches directly on the infected areas of the skin, the infection does not occur.Of all this, we can conclude that a sick person in psoriasis is not dangerous for healthy people, and that this disease should have no effect on the attitude towards him of society.
