Treatment of psoriasis

Psoriasis is a disease related to the change of more than 50 genes and the next change in the body's processes and metabolism.The sooner you realize these changes, the faster you can adjust them.There are three main violations:

  • Violation of carbohydrate metabolism (diabetes),
  • Changes in cholesterol (related to vascular damage - pressure, effect, heart attack, stroke),
  • The advanced protection reaction of the immune system - the body fights its own tissues, and not only for diseases or microorganisms (bacteria).

It is important to learn how to live with psoriasis.By changing the lifestyle and choosing the appropriate diet, you can control the visual manifestations of the disease (the rash can be abused).In addition, during the control process, complications can be removed, which can be caused by the shortage of scales that violate carbohydrates and transform fat and the work of the immune system.

Recommendations for methods of psoriasis

Depending on the severity of the disease process, psoriasis is divided into light, medium and serious shape.For classification purposes, they evaluate:

  • The area is affected by the percentage,
  • The red of the rash is available,
  • The rash density,
  • Number of scale.

The influence of the rash on the quality of life is also evaluated, because the rash cannot recognize (hidden) is not much more worried than the lesions on the face, palms and genitals.

The most appropriate treatment of psoriasis is determined by recommendations on the approved method in Latvia, of which the types of treatment are distinguished, the best corresponding to a certain type and/or the severity of the scales.These recommendations have been developed under the guidance of the professor.Y. KISIS and officially accepted in Latvia in 2013. Recommendations on the method of determining which drug to treat psoriasis psoriasis is paid by the state.The full content of the recommendations can be found here.

Psoriasis therapy

Because psoriasis is a common disease that determines the genetic body of the body, it is important to assess all processes that can help improve the efficiency and prognosis of the therapy.Simple treatment of rash only brings short -term and insufficient effects.A full treatment of psoriasis includes many factors that can be controlled:

  • Taking care of the upper layer of the skin - Should only use the drug and drug prescribed by the doctor, follow the instructions of the dermatologist, because pharmaceutical products may not be suitable for all types of psoriasis.Chronic inflammation of the skin contributes to tumor growth.
  • Diet - It is necessary to check certain digestive disorders (ie metabolic disorders, for example, not enough gastric juice or allergic reactions to different food products), which are expressed in tolerance with different substances.There is a risk of diabetes.To avoid this, patients should not take a lot of calories at the same time and should not drink alcohol (impaired pancreatic glands).
  • Multi -purpose physical activity or physical activity can reduce the risk of heart disorders (cardiovascular) - rhythmic heart function contributes to lipid metabolism (lipid or fat involved in the process of creating blood vessels and is also part of the bonding substances of skin cells).Studies have shown that sports people with psoriasis are much less.
  • It is necessary to be aware of the factors that worsen psoriasis, both weather conditions and changes in the season can cause adverse reactions (allergies, sensitivity).In the fall, it may be a difference in temperature, and in the spring, it may be pollen.

Psoriasis treatment

The means to treat scales are used directly at the rash and generally (for example, the drug for internal use).To choose the most appropriate treatment, it is necessary to take into account not only and the severity of psoriasis, but also age, gender, career, health in general and other factors.

Photographic therapy to treat psoriasis

The rudimentary of optical therapy returns to ancient Egypt 2000 years ago, in which the combination of extracts of optical plants is used to treat skin diseases (plant optics containing substances that increase the sensitivity of ultraviolet radiation) and sunlight.Currently, this is one of the most widely used methods in the treatment of scales, in which:

  • Excessive reduction of immunosuppressure (immunosuppressive effect),
  • Reduce inflammation,
  • Reducing excessive regeneration of cells (anti -opposition effects),
  • It has antibacterial effects.

To treat psoriasis, radiation of UVB and UVA of the spectrum with special lights used.UVA/UVB therapy can be used for children and pregnant women, therapy is often combined with other methods and medications.

Laser treatment therapy to treat psoriasis

Laser therapy on the principle of action is similar to the UVB optical therapy of the narrow spectrum (the length of the NB-UVB 311Nm UV wave), it is used to treat the limited relationships of psoriasis.

Cold pressure therapy to treat psoriasis

Cold therapy is mainly used to treat small focus.There are quite a few publications for the use of this therapy, and its effect is low, so it cannot find wide applications.

  • Cyclosporin A is an immunosuppressive drug.Its effect in psoriasis is related to its effects on the immune system and the ability to reduce the regeneration of the pathology of keratinocytes in the skin.
  • Methotrexate is an inhibitor of metabolism (metabolism) of cells, it was originally used to treat cancer, but since the 1970s, it has also been approved to treat psoriasis.
  • Wobenzym is a too much medicine, available in the form of a tablet.It has anti -inflammatory, anti -inflammatory, normalize body protection, blood thinning, allowing you to restore the level of digestive enzymes (enzymes) in the body to reduce the expression of chronic diseases, etc.

Biological drugs against psoriasis

Biological drugs are viruses, serums, toxins, toxins, vaccines, blood and its components or other similar products used to treat or prevent disease.They improve or restore the body's ability to deal with infections and other diseases.Typically, the molecules of the drug are large, so they are put into the skin, muscles or veins.

The latest methods to treat psoriasis

The latest methods to treat psoriasis

The latest therapy is associated with increased interaction between cells related to psoriasis processes (lymphocytes, etc.) by using the signals of biological activity.Biological drugs or prevent pathologies (antibodies) or contain receptors that prevent pathological processes.The use of this method is limited by high costs and conditions of use (there should be no process or tumor causing inflammation, extremely detailed control of exclusion factors, etc.).

  • The appearance of stable rash, and its surface is covered by smaller scale (standing period),
  • More intensive rashes, the scale is reduced and the shape of the rings (regression period) is made.

For each stage, it is necessary to use the corresponding external funds.For the progressive phase, these are water -based creams and liquids, make creams and pastries more, and for ice creams and ointments.These drugs act as the main volume that the drugs are added:

  • Loemia acid is a keratolytic - a substance that removes large horn formation (dead cells).It is used to exfoliate the scale.An alternative drug, if necessary, includes more than 20% of the skin area, or for patients with diabetes.
  • Corticosteroids are widely used to treat limited psoriasis rashes, as they narrow the blood vessels, inhibit inflammation and itching, and slow down the reproduction of cells.
  • The effectiveness of plastic -based preparations is based on the inhibition of cell growth.Typically, such drugs contain plastic of Aries (oleumrusci) and pine plastic (pixlique), less coal (pixlithanthracis).
  • The action of vitamin D3 (Calcitriol, Calcipotriol) is based on the effect on the immune system and reducing the reproduction of keratinocytes.

Diet with psoriasis

Diet with psoriasis

Psoriasis is associated with lipid exchange issues (fat), carbohydrates (sugar) and sometimes gluten (seeds), caused by congenital changes in metabolism (genetic disorders).

The metabolism begins with the isolation of digestive enzymes (enzymes), the interaction of the total number of bacteria (microbioms) of the intestinal tract with the body and the absorption of nutrients of the body.To handle substances and use of them in processes, energy is necessary.

If the features of the body, digestion and metabolism are not studied, should eat in small parts at least 4 times a day.Use unsaturated fatty acids (Omega-3, etc.), Vitamin B, Vitamin D. For psoriasis, you should refuse to eat white carbohydrate bread that is easy to digest and potatoes.Alcohol, nicotine and preservatives are harmful to the flora of the intestinal tract - to take care of it, the use of probiotics or a moderate probiotics (culture of living organisms affects the digestive tract).

The effects of seasons on psoriasis

When the temperature of the external environment changes, the metabolism changes and the skin begins to lack fatty acids and the protective barrier of the skin weakened.As soon as Vitamin D deficiency occurs in the skin, it becomes dry, restored worse and more easily affected by the environment - a prerequisite for the outbreak of chronic skin diseases (dermatological).

Heat in the winter, artificial ventilation, clothing needs, sweating, in the crowd with different microorganisms that worsen physiology and self -regulating skin.With the introduction of spring, the skin fence becomes weaker in the fall and the substances that cause spring allergies - flowers, pollen, herbs easily overcome it.

In a small percentage of patients with psoriasis (up to 20%), the skin worsening from UV rays.Summer psoriasis is characterized by the lack of antioxidants that can protect the skin from free radicals that enhance the appearance of solar radiation and rash in places affected by the sun.

Recognizing the seriousness caused by changes in seasons, the manifestations of the disease can be controlled by resting in resorts.

The resorts to treat psoriasis or Balne therapy

The favorable impact of climatic therapy around the world has been described for 200 years and is related to certain geographical areas and specific locations in it.The effectiveness of the resort therapy is mainly related to the ability to take daily stress and avoid the factors that worsen the skin's condition (for example, the dry air due to the central heating).It is also possible to adjust the mode and energy span.

Some processes can compensate for the amount of water in the skin, exfoliate for the old skin, slow down the spread of cells and the cell cycle less.

The most important resort to treat psoriasis is dead sea, the lowest point on Earth (360 m under the sea level), it has high natural mineral concentrations and the evaporation of UVB mineral filters (as in optical therapy).In studies, it should be noted that patients sunbathing and swimming in the salt of the Dead Sea have improved psoriasis in 83% of cases, only sunbathing - in 73% of cases, only swimming in the sea died - in 28% of cases.

Balne therapy (a collection of different treatment actions to moisturize dry skin) occupies a special position in the treatment of long -term psoriasis, but is not recommended for patients to increase sensitivity (summer psoriasis) and the risk of high skin cancer.This type of therapy is not used for acute or short -term treatment.
