Psoriasis. Everyone heard about this disease without exception, and some people are first familiar with them. Psoriasis is one of the most serious forms of dermatological diseases, which has a rather widespread and large number of forms against therapy. About 6 % of the total population of the planet. It doesn't seem that much. However, there are thousands and thousands of real people behind the dry statistics who have to live with this problem from year to year.
Despite the fact that psoriasis is not absolutely no threat to life and the general state of health, sick people are very stressed by this disease because the skin looks very unaesthetic. Often sick people, even in hot weather, are forced to wear clothes with long sleeves, embarrassed to go to the beaches. Despite a rather high level of development of modern medicine, the type of disease such as psoriasis has not yet been established. Of course, there are factors that serve as a prerequisites for the development of the disease, but in general the causes of psoriasis are still not clear to the doctors.
One of the main theories of psoriasis is a hypothesis about the so -called genetic factor. Psoriasis in children under the age of 10 is usually an inherited form of the disease - in the genus of the baby you can almost always find a relative suffering from a similar disease. However, if psoriasis manifests itself at a more mature age, the doctors suggest that the disease has a different kind of origin - bacterial or viral.
Clinical manifestations of psoriasis
Psoriasis can be easily diagnosed. An experienced dermatologist, which is based on a visual examination, easily diagnosed the disease. Psoriasis symptoms are as follows: A sick person has monomorphic rashes - papules (nodules), a different gender in their size that merge together and form the so -called plaques. These plaques have no clear localization and can be at any place of the skin.
Rashes are limited at the beginning of the disease. The rashes are single and are usually in the area of the elbow and knee joints, in the scalp, in the sacrum, etc. The plaques have a very clear contour in which they vary, from pale to light - red. Within the plaques, the skin is covered with silver white scales. They scratch them to diagnose psoriasis to get a triad:
- A special place.
- Terminal film.
- Blutau.
Only in all of these three terms, doctors diagnose psoriasis in a sick person. Dermatologists differentiate between three different stages of psoriasis:
- The progressive phase of psoriasis. At this stage, the first symptoms of the disease are improved, the disease runs and the condition worsens painfully.
- The stationary level of psoriasis. The disease is under development at this stage.
- Stadium of regression. At this stage of psoriasis, the clinical illness of the disease decreases, and the sick person disease improves significantly.
Every person who has psoriasis necessarily follows all three stages of illness. However, if the disease is diagnosed in time and the treatment is prescribed in good time, the duration of the second phase (stationary) can be reduced to zero.
In addition to the stages of psoriasis, there is a different kind of qualification of this disease. By localization and type of rashes, psoriasis is divided into:
- Ordinary plaque psoriasis.
- Exudation psoriasis. This type of psoriasis differs from the usual appearance in the fact that in addition to ordinary rashes in the clinical image of the course of the disease, a pronounced inflammatory reaction occurs on the skin. Flashing scales appear on the skin when you release which light - pink wet surface opens.
- Another psoriasis. In the clinical picture of the course of this form of the disease, the joints are affected next to plaques on the skin. In simple words, this psoriasis is a combination of psoriasis and arthritis. The severity of this disease can be very different - from the weak arthralgia of individual joints and to real generalized lesions, which leads to a disability of patients.
- Pustula psoriasis. With this type of psoriasis, palms and soles are affected. This form of psoriasis is one of the most severe. If the lesion of this type of psoriasis is extensive, a sick person has a significant increase in body temperature, a significant deterioration in the general state of health of a sick person, a change in blood formula - an increase in ESR. Against the background of the bright erytheme, small pustules occur that cause a burning feeling and painful sensations when touched. Such damage to the skin proves a very extensive area and bring many unpleasant sensations to a sick person. When these affected skin areas merge into extensive herds and the epidermis is replaced, which develops the severe form of erythroderma.
- The most common is limited pustular psoriasis. In this form, the disease is not very extensive and is mainly located in the elbow bends on the soles and palms. 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 a provocative factor very often is the contact with various chemicals in everyday human life.
- Psoriatic erythroderma. This form of psoriasis also has a severe form of the course and gradually develops by progressing psoriasis. The skin is swollen, red, with pronounced signs of a severe inflammatory process. If the disease is not treated, a sick person can have symptoms such as: fever, increase in lymph nodes, impairment of the functionality of the cardiovascular system, hair loss, change in normal blood indicators.
In children, doctors mostly diagnose the psoriasis of wrinkles. In addition, psoriasis of wrinkles is often observed in people with diabetes. The priorities of the psoriasis lesions are under the mammary glands, in the bar, in the folds of the neck and in the armpits, under the knees and in the elbow bends. The limits of rashes are sharply outlined, the lesions themselves have a rich pink color and drags off slightly. Signs of psoriasis are very specific-it is difficult to confuse them with something.
Diet for psoriasis
Regardless of this, it is necessary to talk about such an important factor as the diet of a patient with psoriasis. Although only a few people know about this in every form of psoriasis, there is necessarily an allergic factor. For this reason, all patients with psoriasis for the successful treatment of psoriasis only have to observe a special diet that can eliminate the use of products that contain allergens and can lead to an tightening of the course of the disease. The diet of psoriasis is one of the components of the successful treatment of psoriasis.
The diet should be carefully thought out and balanced. The diet should be completely, quite energetically valuable and contain the required amount of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. After all, the diet of the diet should not be inferior - the body should receive all nutrients, vitamins and trace elements that are required for normal functioning.
As mentioned above, however, all substances must be completely excluded from the diet that can cause allergic reactions of the body in one way or another. Below you will find a list of products that most often cause allergies:
- Citrus fruits. All citrus fruits, without exception, be it oranges, lemons or grapefruits, are the strongest allergens. People who suffer from psoriasis should exclude citrus fruits in any form, even in the form of restored juices.
- Chicken eggs often cause allergic reactions in humans. If it is difficult for a sick person without eggs, they can be successfully replaced by quail. Wachtel eggs do not cause allergic reactions.
- Whole cow's milk. The use of the milk of the whole cow can lead to a deterioration in the health of a patient with human psoriasis. However, dairy products cannot be completely excluded from the diet because they contain a large number of useful trace elements. Simply replace whole milk with acid dairy products.
- Try not to eat vegetables and fruit that contains red pigment - tomatoes, strawberries, cherries, red pepper. Patients with psoriasis for humans These fruit and vegetables can only be consumed after the thermal treatment has been completed.
- It is also necessary to exclude all hot, greasy, fried and smoked dishes from the diet.
- We also have to try to avoid mushrooms in any form - mushroom soups, sauces, fried and pickled mushrooms.
- When cooking, the sick people should refuse to use spicy spices and a large amount of table salt.
- It is also not recommended to eat different sauces - mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard. It is best to replace them with sour cream, which brings a much greater benefit to health.
It is preferable to eat all food in baked, cooked or steamed shape. The diet should be fractional. Overflow not only causes an unpleasant severity feeling in the stomach, but can also lead to a deterioration in the condition of a patient with psoriasis.
In times of significant deterioration in the disease, it is very useful to carry out the so -called fasting days. Under no circumstances can the concept of "unloading day" be confused with the concept of "cleaning the body". Only a kind of product for food has to be consumed when unloading days. It can be either kefir or apples or cooked fish. Do not agree more than one day of fasting a week.
Treatment of psoriasis with folk remedies
The treatment of psoriasis should take place under the strict control of a dermatologist. Each drug for psoriasis should only be used as by a doctor and exclusively according to a treatment regime scheme. In addition to official medicine, there are a large number of traditional medical recipes that enable them to make the course of the disease quickly and effectively easier and to improve the borehole of a sick person. Below you will find the most effective methods. Regardless of the recipe, you should consult your doctor before using it.
Often the use of medical referendums enables to remove all manifestations of psoriasis and to achieve persistent remission for many years. However, don't be upset if the first recipe you have selected does not help. An individual treatment regime is also selected for every sick person in official medicine. What is effective for a person may not have a therapeutic effect on another patient.
About the same thing happens in treatment with traditional medical recipes. If a patient with psoriasis is possible at home, but you have to try different ways. If a method of the sick person has not helped, he has to try another. As a rule, the patient necessarily finds the recipe that helps him. Do not count with the achievement of an immediate result - you will not see after the first procedure. Do not throw the treatment that started after 1 to 2 applications. Go at least one course. As a rule, however, a visible improvement occurs after 10 to 15 days.
Complex measures help you to increase the effectiveness of the treatment. For example, the use of nature outdoors is very effectively combined with the use of external means. During treatment with folk methods, it is also essential to observe a therapeutic diet, take stimulating medication and lead a healthy lifestyle. It is the integrated approach that helps the sick to achieve the best treatment results.
A good remedy for psoriasis are flax seeds. The infusion of flat seeds helps you to largely remove the clinical manifestations of psoriasis after 5 to 7 days. To prepare the infusion, you have to fall asleep to an enamelled dish with a tablespoon of flax seeds, pour it with a glass of boiling water, wrap with a towel and brewed for one day. After that, the infusion must be brought to a boil and immediately removed from the fire, but never let the infusion cook. After cooling the infusion, it must be filtered with gazeweben. Take in the morning with an empty stomach after drinking activated charcoal with a rate of a tablet per 10 kilograms of weight. During the treatment, a patient should completely rule out the use of coffee and products that contain caffeine. Treatment of psoriasis with the help of an infusion of flax seeds should take at least 20 days. This method is very good if you have to get rid of plaques as soon as possible. Under no circumstances should you advance the course of treatment in advance, immediately after eliminating external manifestations of the disease.
