Psoriasis (from Greek Psora Psora - Skin disease, SCAB) is a chronic infection. Licho scales (so they also call psoriasis) mainly affect the skin on the elbows and knee joints, on the head and lower back. But there are also psoriasis of nails, joints and genitals outside, but these forms are extremely rare.
Causes of psoriasisThis disease is due to a short life cycle. In fact, in a healthy person, skin cells are updated every 30 days, which is their division and nine cycles that occur for about 4 weeks. Psoriasis is that one can say, is an abnormal reaction of the body for different types of external stimuli, resulting in some places, the upper layer of dead skin in just 4-5 days, leaving Keratinized areas.
So far, psoriasis is considered a multi -faceted disease, which is based on the entire reason: immunodeficiency, metabolic disorders, neurological and endocrine disorders at the same time.
The exact reasons why a person with the last psoriasis are not established. There are some theories about this issue. According to one of them, two types of psoriasis are distinguished:
The cause of type I is inherited by the incident of the immune system. This form of disease, affecting skin, sickness about 65% of people, and most often from 18 to 25 years old;
II Type of psoriasis appears in people over 40 years old, it is not inherited and is not related to violations in the cells of the immune system. Unlike the first type, the second type includes psoriasis of nails and joints.
According to another theory, psoriasis only occurs due to weakened immunity, the cause of infectious diseases, stress, alcoholic beverages, malnutrition, cold climate. Clamps, pepper and foods containing vinegar can cause psoriasis. Psoriasis, in this theory, is a systemic disease. And this means that with serious weakened immune systems, this process can spread from the skin to other tissues and organs, for example, to joints, due to the development of arthritis.
Psoriasis symptomsSymptoms of psoriasis of scalp, knees, elbow and lower back are peeling red or pink. They are covered with silver scales (so the name is Scaly Scaly Lichen), when brushed easily disappear. Over time, the points increase in size, merge into large forms (arrays) and affect large and large areas, and cracks and damaged skin bleeding.
The psoriasis of nails is manifested a bit different. First, the nails are dark, spots and cavities appear on them. Very often with psoriasis, nails thicken and crumbled.

Depending on the seasonal properties of seriousness, three types of psoriasis are distinguished: summer, winter and uncertainty. Typically, a type of winter is found - its symptoms under the influence of weak sunlight, and sometimes disappear completely. In patients in the summer form, on the contrary, the process of this disease worsens under the influence of the sun.
