What is psoriasis?
This dermatological violation considerably reduces the qualitative level of the patient's health, having a pernicious effect on metabolism (a process associated with metabolism) in the body, improves the symptoms of cardiovascular disease and contributes to depressive conditions.
Knowing its common name - scaly lichen, it is easy to guess what psoriasis looks like: rash in the form of papules (formation with a smooth shiny surface, the shape resembles the hemisphere, color - pink) - at an early stage of small, with a pin head.
Causes
- Genetic.There is no need to prove whether psoriasis contrasts with a genetic predisposition.The genetic theory of psoriasis represents only an increased risk of manifestation of this dermatosis due to a hereditary factor in humans.
- Violation of the hormonal context in the body (endocrine theory).The repairing (regenerative) (skin) (regenerative) functions are lost due to a malfunction of the endocrine system.
- The consequences of infections.During the treatment of infectious diseases, complications can start, reflected directly on the skin (infectious theory) - skin loss of the ability to operate normally after exposure to microorganisms, fungi, etc.
- Violation of metabolism (metabolic functions) of the body: skin disease is initiated by 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 considerably distorted.(Theory of exchange).
- Immunity.The inadequate work of the immune system leads to the impossibility of an appropriate reaction of the body to health threats.This is also manifested by skin reactions.(Immune theory).
A certain number of reasons can be associated with the characteristics of an individual's life:
- irrational regime;
- abuse of psychoactive substances (alcohol, nicotine, etc.);
- misuse of drugs;
- excessive mental stress, stress;
- A net change under climatic conditions.
