The causes of psoriasis are mainly genetic.And the symptoms are red spots all over the body or on some parts.Different types of psoriasis start in different ways.The disease begins with pink or red spots, which then grow, are covered with silver dry flakes.
4 Causes of Psoriasis
The origin of the disease has not been fully studied by scientists, as well as the search for effective treatments.There are 4 main causes of psoriasis:
- Genetic predisposition
- Disorders of the immune, endocrine and nervous systems.
- Poor ecology.
- Skin damage (phenomenon of kobner).
Psoriasis
Dermatologists and scientists acknowledge that psoriasis is one of the diseases that must be carefully studied and sought for new effective treatments.
Among the treatment methods, the result is the following.
Ultraviolet therapy 311 Nm
Ultraviolet lamp for the treatment of psoriasis (311 nm)
The 311 NM method is safe, has no contraindications and has been used worldwide since the 1960s.Suitable for the treatment of psoriasis in pregnant women and children of 3 years.
A 311 nm lamp is used for therapy with this method.The fighter of psoriasis should be lit for a few minutes to several hours.Sessions are held every other day.

Treatment in this way is performed in two stages.First, the patient is administered medicine (enhancing the sensitivity to UV rays) and then irradiated into a special cabin with a long wave of ultraviolet.Studies show the effectiveness of the method (90-97%).However, it is not suitable for everyone, and sometimes even dangerous to health, with improper use.
Mahi and shampoos are not always safe for the treatment of psoriasis.Some have contraindications and side effects, especially medicines with the hormone content - glucocorticoids.The iron produces in the treatment of vulgar (ordinary), ladling psoriasis.Shampoos are used to therapy for seborrheic psoriasis and psoriasis of the head, scalp.Often, after the cancellation of the drug, the disease returns with renewed energy.

What is psoriasis?
This dermatological disorder significantly reduces the qualitative level of health of the patient, having a detrimental effect on metabolism (a process associated with metabolism) in the body, enhances the symptoms of cardiovascular disease and contributes to depressive conditions.
Knowing his common name - scaly lichen, it is easy to know what psoriasis looks like: rashes in the form of papules (formation with a smooth shiny surface, the shape looks like a hemisphere, color - pink) - at an early stage of a small, with pin.
Reasons
- Genetics.It is not necessary to prove whether psoriasis is a contrast with genetic predisposition.The genetic theory of psoriasis speaks only of an increased risk of manifestation of this dermatosis as a result of a hereditary factor in humans.
- Disruption of the hormonal background in the body (endocrine theory).The restorative (regenerative) functions of the tissues (skin) are lost due to improper operation of the endocrine system.
- The effects of infections.During the treatment of infectious diseases, complications reflected directly on the skin (infectious theory) - loss of skin of the ability to function normally after exposure to microorganisms, mushrooms, etc. can begin during the treatment of infectious diseases.
- Disruption of metabolism (metabolic functions) of the body: skin disease is initiated by the inadequate function of the circulatory system, for example, lymphocytes are excessively concentrated in certain areas of the skin.This includes diabetes mellitus - it is with it that metabolic processes are significantly distorted.(Exchange theory).
- Immunity.The inadequate function of the immune system leads to the inability to properly respond to the body to health threats.This is also manifested through skin reactions.(Immune theory).
A number of reasons can be related to a person's life characteristics:
- irrational diet;
- abuse of psychoactive substances (alcohol, nicotine, etc.);
- improper use of medicines;
- excessive mental stress, stress;
- Cut change in climatic conditions.
Symptoms and stages
Initially
In the initial stage, in the hands, stomach, back or other parts, individual psoriatic manifestations are noticed: small papules, pink, with a shiny and smooth surface.These are point events, over time there is an increase in their number and location places.
Progressive.
At this stage, skin peeling is added to the symptoms - initially in the central part of the papules, which gradually grow, forming a pink -colored crown.The shape of the areas damaged by the disease gradually acquires a different configuration (symptom of a kebner).Itching is observed.The stage duration is about 2 weeks.
Stationary
In terms of duration, it does not have a specific time in time, it can move to the next stage (4th, regression) or return to the previous (3rd, progressing).The new elements of the skin cease to appear, the growth of existing plaques slows down, it stops at all.
Regressive
The scene ends the cycle of the disease - the peeling goes "to nothing", the plates become flat, they lose their bulge.As a rule, the objects do not atrophy or form scars.Although the diseases subject to disease lose their pigment (bleach), it passes over time.
In children
The bubbles contain fluid (first - transparent, then it is cloudy), its tests indicate the presence of pathological cells.Therapeutic intervention should be urgent.
In adults
- the general condition of the physical weakening of the body;
- Feeling of non -pre -pre -pre -pre -pre -fatigue;
- Depression and experience of depression.
Specific symptoms depend on the type of psoriasis and its localization on the skin.For example, on the legs, the manifestation of psoriasis is more common in the knees, the legs.In complications, the symptoms are exacerbated by swelling of the limbs.

As a means of direct exposure to the affected areas, an ointment of psoriasis on the skin is applicable.It is designed to deal with the dryness of the skin and the effect of "tightening".A special place is occupied by non -hormonal fats that affect the foci of inflammation but do not lead to an increase in hormonal origin.
