What is psoriasis?
This dermatological violation significantly reduces the patient's qualitative level of health, having a pernicious effect on metabolism (a process associated with metabolism) in the body, increases the symptoms of cardiovascular disease and contributes to depressive conditions.
Knowing your common name - Scammean lichen, it is easy to guess what psoriasis is: papule -shaped rashes (formation with a bright and bright surface, the shape resembles the hemisphere, color - pink) - at an early stage, with a pin head.
Causes
- Genetics.There is no need to prove if psoriasis contrasts with a genetic predisposition.Psoriasis genetic theory speaks only of an increased risk of manifestation of this dermatosis as a result of a hereditary factor in humans.
- Violation of the hormonal background in the body (endocrine theory).The restorative (regenerative) functions of tissues (skin) are lost due to the inadequate operation of the endocrine system.
- The consequences of infections.During the treatment of infectious diseases, complications can begin, reflected directly on the skin (infectious theory) - skin loss of the ability to function normally after exposure to microorganisms, fungi, etc.
- Violation of metabolism (metabolic functions) of the body: Skin disease is initiated with inadequate work of the circulatory system, for example, lymphocytes are excessively concentrated in certain areas of the skin.This also includes diabetes mellitus - it is with him that metabolic processes are significantly distorted.(Exchange theory).
- Immunity.Improper work of the immune system leads to the impossibility of proper body reaction to health threats.This also manifests itself through skin reactions.(Immune theory).
Several reasons can be associated with the characteristics of an individual's life:
- irrational diet;
- Abuse of psychoactive substances (alcohol, nicotine, etc.);
- inappropriate use of medicines;
- Excessive mental stress, stress;
- A sharp change in weather conditions.
