    What is psoriasis?

    What is psoriasis and can it be treated?The disease flows like this: spots with small scales appear on the skin, forming hill-shaped layers, propagating from the periphery to the island in diameter 0.5-1 cm. Sometimes all skin is covered with such a rash.

    Czechs have a special bright white color (asbestos). In some places (elbow, knee and sickness of the head) rash can stay long.

    Until now, the riddle of the origin of psoriasis is not solved. Was, of course, invented a scientific term – a multifactorial disease that really does not explain anything except that the disease may arise from anything and ever.

    Speaking of various methods of treatment, we must immediately make a reservation: psoriasis – Chronic disease and heal from it completely, «for the rest of my life», impossible. You can treat it all life – and not cure, and maybe she herself disappear, without any treatment, and without any reasons.

    There are many hypotheses and the theories of the occurrence of psoriasis – Hereditary, exchange, neurogenic, endocrine, allergic, viral, infectious and others, and also studies the role and influence of provoking factors. Increasingly, researchers say that this disease occurs as a result of strong stress or emotional overvoltage.

    Most of the scientists of the world appearance of the disease see in genetic factors. 60% of patients detect relatives and ancestors, suffering and suffering from psoriasis. It is even determined by the chromosome responsible for it. But even if a person learns his genealogical tree for a hundred years in the past, and will not find patients in it, it does not mean anything. Pathology can dorm for many years, and children of sick parents will be afraid to strike the surrounding cleanliness and beauty of the skin. On envy... grandchildren.

    The most important provoking factors for the development of psoriasis are mental injuries, long-term stress, chronic stressful states (apparently, the cascade of biochemical and immunological reactions leading to the development of psoriatic foci). The role of infectious diseases, physical injuries, skin injuries, hyposals in case and exacerbations (relapses) of psoriasis.

    Intensive drug therapy (especially with the use of antibiotics), hormonal changes in the body (in the adolescence, during pregnancy and breastfeeding), alcoholic intoxication, long stay in the sun, climate change, abuse of products that can exacerbate disease (citrus, chocolate, Eggs, etc.).
    However, none of these hypotheses or theories discloses the fully essence of the disease, and the problems of treatment and prevention are as relevant as the eyelids.

    Meanwhile, the scaly is not infected. Indeed, the psoriasis do not die, the patient does not shout from pain (except rare, especially hard cases), not immobilized, keeps the clarity of the mind. But how many people psoriasis brought to various neuroses, changes in the psyche, and about broken families, failed to speak and speak.
