Skin disease is always serious, because the consequences of skin diseases may be the most that neither is unpredictable. One of such diseases is psoriasis. Such a term is called a chronic disease of the skin and nails, and later, and is at an advanced stage, the joints and even pay. Sometimes you can find psoriasis on the head. In contrast, this disease is called scaly ringworm.
The first signs of psoriasis is a skin peeling and the appearance of scaly rash elbows, knees and nails. But before we talk about the symptoms of the disease, let's learn the causes of psoriasis, and possible prevention.
Reasons
The reasons for the emergence of psoriasis can be a lot of factors.
Consider the main:
- Violation of metabolism, the bad and the poor quality of food, malnutrition. Often can be traced to this cause of psoriasis in girls who abuse diet and modern diet. In any case, the body needs to get the right amount of vitamins and minerals. There are people who are not particular vitamin is not accept — so they, like anyone else, know how it affects the skin.
- Excessive use of drugs and fat, too much rich food. In this case, we replenish the body with trace elements, and is not always required. Medicines, even such harmless, as vitamins, there is only a certain group of these vitamins, sometimes several groups. But the whole diet can never replace such pills. Even if your body gets too many vitamins all at once, he took it as a sign, more active growth and development. Very quickly began to grow new cells, and this process takes place psoriasis, a question.
- When disorders of the gastrointestinal tract — in other words, problems with the digestive system. Usually this is due to malnutrition. It turns out that the stomach walls become much thinner still. Therefore, all toxic substances that enter the body with food, are not able to fully mourn the gastric juice — they extend to the gastrointestinal tract. Thus, toxins are released into the bloodstream, which delivers them to the liver and kidneys, and that neither has a large negative effect. It can serve the cause of psoriasis and cause exacerbation of the disease.
- They say that the continued tension of the nervous system can get sick any time. Maybe the way it is. Psoriasis is also true, in a very direct way. Long-term tension of the nerves, long-term depression — all this affects the skin too. There are all kinds of biochemical reactions, which is just psoriasis because the immune system weakens and becomes unable to protect the body from contact with harmful substances.
- A number of other diseases that can cause a serious decrease in immunity. These include sinusitis, otitis media, and others. So the point is that these diseases are gradually sucking the life force that the human body has the ability to neutralize toxins is vanishingly small. If a person already suffers from psoriasis, are still, and one of these diseases, he is involved in the rapid development of psoriasis and its transitions at a later stage. Therefore, the treatment must be addressed immediately. Trigger psoriasis can also a communicable disease, the development, which is due to streptococci.
Often psoriasis occurs in adolescence, when children do not follow the diet and eat on the move.
All properly called health and immune system.
Methods to diagnose psoriasis
