It should be said that common psoriasis is very benevolent. Firstly, it does not affect the visceral system and has no adverse consequences on life expectancy; secondly, properly treated or even untreated psoriasis generally does not cause lesions to appear on exposed areas such as the face and does not affect aesthetics; furthermore, most psoriasis can subside or mostly subside in the summer, allowing you to look special without having to still wear long clothes and pants in the hot sun. However, incorrect treatment or over-treatment may instead stimulate the lesions to grow into exposed areas such as the face, neck and hands. Therefore, treat psoriasis as you would treat your old friend, who visits you regularly, and you need to treat him well and not provoke him. When winter arrives, psoriasis lesions usually worsen, with increased scaling and in some cases itching, making the discomfort worse. Proper care can reduce the annoyance, protect the lesions and reduce the lesions. The most important thing is not to try to rub off the scales. It is important to understand that scales are produced by the accelerated metabolism of the lesions. The more you rub, the more you stimulate the blood circulation of the lesions and the more scales are produced. In the clinical work, see the long treatment does not subside psoriasis patients, through careful questioning, most of them like to rub off the scales and then coated with drugs, one can make themselves clean, so as to avoid scales in clothes, sheets and other places, look uncomfortable, but also think that rubbing off the scales can make the drug directly on the lesions, the effect will be better. I do not know that this practice stimulates the skin lesions, resulting in more and more scales, while the thickness of the skin lesions is getting bigger and bigger, the treatment effect is not good. Therefore, the appropriate use of some topical drugs, moisturizing, anti-itch, reduce the stimulation of the lesions, so that the metabolism of the rash slowed down, the scales will naturally be less. Secondly, diet management is also important. In winter, people like to take tonic, especially to eat some hot food to ward off the cold. In fact, hot food prompts blood vessels to expand and blood flow to speed up. The skin capillary beds that are partially closed because of the need to keep warm open, and the blood flow to the lesions also speeds up, leading to increased production of scales. So psoriasis friends should eat less of these foods in winter. The proverbial “eat radish in winter and eat ginger in summer, without the doctor’s prescription” is somewhat true. Once again, going to bed earlier is beneficial for reducing scales. The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine says that when people lie down, blood returns to the liver, and the requirement of winter health is to lie down early and get up late, and must wait for daylight. Earlier rest reduces the amount of blood to the skin, the metabolism of the lesions is reduced, and scales are naturally produced less. In short, with the right treatment and beneficial care, psoriasis patients can pass the winter more happily. Winter has come, can spring be far away?
