Psoriasis. All, without exception, hear about this disease, and some people are familiar with it first -hand. Psoriasis is one of the most severe forms of dermatological diseases, which has a very widespread and large number of forms resistant to therapy. About 6 % of the total population of the planet. It looks not so much. Behind the dry statistics, however, are thousands and thousands of real people who are forced to live with this problem from year to year.
Despite the fact that psoriasis poses absolutely no threat to life and general health, sick people are very burdened with this disease because the skin looks very unesthetic. Often, sick people, even in hot weather, are forced to wear long -sleeved clothes, embarrassed to go to the beaches. Despite the very high level of development of modern medicine, the nature of the onset of such a disease as psoriasis has not yet been established. Of course, there are factors that serve as prerequisites for the development of the disease, but overall the causes of psoriasis are not yet clear to doctors.
One of the main theories of psoriasis is a hypothesis of the so -called genetic factor. As a rule, psoriasis in children under 10 is precisely the hereditary form of the disease - in the baby's family you can almost always find relative suffering from such a disease. But if psoriasis manifests itself at a greater age, doctors suggest that the disease has a different nature of origin - bacterial or viral.
Psoriasis is easily diagnosed. An experienced visual -based dermatologist easily diagnoses the disease. The symptoms of psoriasis are as follows: a sick person has monomorphic rashes - papules (nodes), different sex to their size, which merge with each other and form the so -called plaques. These plaques do not have a clear localization and can be anywhere in the skin.
At the very beginning of the disease, rashes are limited. The rash is single and are usually located in the area of the elbow and knee joints, in the scalp, in the sacrum and more. Inside the plaques, the skin is covered with silver white flakes. It is they who scrape them to diagnose psoriasis to get the triad:
Only in the presence of all these three terms do doctors diagnose psoriasis in a sick person. Dermatologists distinguish three different stages of psoriasis:
Everyone who has psoriasis is sure to pass all three stages of the disease. However, if the disease is diagnosed in time and treatment is prescribed in a timely manner, then the duration of the second phase (stationary) may be reduced to zero.
In addition to the stages of psoriasis, there is another type of qualification of this disease. By localization and type of psoriasis rash is divided into:
In children, most often doctors diagnose psoriasis of folds. Also, psoriasis of folds is often observed in people with diabetes. Psoriatic lesions are under the mammary glands, in the groin, in the cervix and axillary cavities, below the knees and in the elbow turns. The rash boundaries are sharply outlined, the lesions themselves have a rich pink color, slightly peel off. The signs of psoriasis are very specific-it is difficult to confuse them with something.
Separately, it is necessary to talk about such an important factor as a person's diet with psoriasis. Although few people know about this, in any form of psoriasis, an allergic factor is necessarily present. Therefore, all patients with psoriasis people for the successful treatment of psoriasis are simply necessary to monitor a special diet that eliminates the use of allergen -containing products and can lead to exacerbation of the course of the disease. The psoriasis diet is one of the components of the successful treatment of psoriasis. 
The diet should be carefully considered and balanced. The diet should be complete, quite vigorously valuable, contain the required amount of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. After all, dietary nutrition should not be more - the body should receive all the nutrients, vitamins and trace elements required for normal functioning.
As mentioned above, it is necessary to completely exclude any substances that can be completely excluded in one way or another to cause allergic reactions to the body. Below is a list of products that most often cause allergies:
It is preferable to eat all the food in roasted, boiled or steamed shape. Nutrition should be partial - food should be taken in small portions, but more often than usual - 5 - 7 times a day. Not only does the overflow cause an unpleasant feeling of heaviness in the stomach, but it can also lead to a worsening in the condition of a patient with psoriasis.
During periods of significant exacerbation of the disease, it is very useful to carry out the so -called fasting days. However, in no case should the concept of "unload" be confused with the concept of "cleaning the body". In the days of unloading, only one type of food product should be consumed. It can be either yogurt or apples, or boiled fish. Do not organize more than a day on an empty stomach per week.
Psoriasis treatment should be performed under the strict control of a dermatologist. Any psoriasis medicine should only be used as prescribed by a doctor and strictly according to the regimen regimen. In addition to official medicine, there are a huge number of traditional medicine recipes that allow you to quickly and effectively facilitate the course of the disease and improve the well -being of a sick person. Below are the most effective of the methods, but no matter what the recipe is selected, be sure to consult your doctor before using it.
Often the use of folk remedies for medicine allows you to eliminate all manifestations of psoriasis and to achieve constant remission for many years. However, do not be upset if the first recipe you choose does not help. Even in official medicine, an individual treatment regimen was chosen for each sick person. What is effective for one person may not have a therapeutic effect for another patient.
About the same happens in the case of treatment with traditional medicine recipes. If a patient with psoriasis is possible at home, but you will need to try several ways. If one method has not helped the sick person, he or she must try another. As a rule, the patient necessarily finds the recipe that will help him. Also, do not rely on an immediate result - you will not see after the first procedure. Do not throw treatment, which started after 1 - 2 applications. Go completely at least one course. However, as a rule, the visible improvement takes place after 10 - 15 days.
Complex measures will help you increase the effectiveness of treatment. For example, outdoor use is very effectively combined with the use of external agents. In addition, during treatment with folk methods, it is imperative to monitor a therapeutic diet, to take stimulating drugs and to lead a healthy lifestyle. It is the integrated approach that will help the sick person to achieve the best results of treatment.
A good medicine for psoriasis is linen seeds. The infusion of flax seeds will help you largely eliminate the clinical manifestations of psoriasis after 5 to 7 days. To prepare the infusion, you need to fall asleep in an enameled dish with one tablespoon of flaxseed, pour it with one glass of boiling water, wrap it with a towel and let it cook for one day. The infusion should then be boiled and removed from the heat immediately, but in no case leaves the infusion to boil. Once the infusion has cooled, it should be filtered with gauze tissue. Take a decoction in the morning, on an empty stomach, after drinking activated charcoal at a speed of one tablet per 10 kilograms of weight. During treatment, the patient should completely rule out his diet the use of coffee and products that contain caffeine. The course of treatment for psoriasis with the help of flaxseed infusion should last for at least 20 days. This method is very good when you need to get rid of the plates as quickly as possible. However, in no case should you stop the course of treatment a while ago, immediately after the removal of the external manifestations of the disease.
