Many people worry about “is psoriasis contagious”? Not only is psoriasis not contagious, but it can be completely controlled. The actual fact is, after scientific and reasonable treatment, it can also be completely controlled in the autumn and winter seasons. The “psoriasis” is high in the autumn and winter season Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory, recurrent skin disease. Whenever the seasons change, especially in autumn, the skin loses moisture rapidly, the supply of epidermal moisture is relatively reduced, and the skin naturally becomes dry.” Psoriasis” is characterized by peeling skin. Once contracted, psoriasis is a lifelong condition that causes untold pain and suffering to psoriasis patients. More than 125 million people worldwide suffer from psoriasis, with a prevalence of 0.1%-3%. In China, more than 6.5 million patients are living with psoriasis, and the number of patients tends to increase year by year. According to the national epidemiological survey on psoriasis, there are currently about 6.5 million psoriasis patients in China, with an incidence rate of 0.47%, a figure three times higher than that in 1984. This means that there has been a significant increase in the incidence of psoriasis in China over the past nearly 30 years. In one of his morning clinics, 10 out of 40 patients are looking at psoriasis. This is mainly because of the rise in the incidence of the disease due to the atmospheric environment and the stress of life. It is worth mentioning that the causes of psoriasis are not fully understood and many factors such as genetic, immune, environmental and psychological can lead to psoriasis. The disease can occur at any age. The “psoriasis” will be contagious is a misinformation There are many patches on the body, and will also fall off the flakes, will not be contagious to me? A lot of people have this concern: in the end is psoriasis contagious? The clinical manifestation of psoriasis is red papules or plaques covered with silvery white scales; skin damage can be limited or generalized; in addition, joints, nails and mucous membranes can also be involved; a few non-common psoriasis manifestations are pustules, arthritis and erythroderma. Psoriasis is thought to be contagious mainly because of skin morphology, homozygous reaction (i.e., scaly plaques of the same shape growing in the next place), and the patient’s perception that it is always incurable. In addition, due to the lack of proper knowledge of psoriasis, many people believe that contact with psoriasis patients will be “infectious”, which makes many psoriasis patients not only lose the joy of life but also lose their confidence in life. The current medical consensus is that psoriasis is an immune-mediated inflammatory disease of the skin, the occurrence and progression of which are attributed to an abnormal immune response. Although psoriasis is called “psoriasis”, it is not contagious like ringworm. Psoriatic lesions are chronic inflammatory skin diseases, but the inflammation is not directly caused by infectious agents such as fungi, bacteria or parasites. Therefore, not only is psoriasis not contagious, but with scientific and reasonable treatment, it is completely controllable. It is worth noting that although psoriasis is not contagious, it brings a heavy burden to the patient’s body and mind, and the patient’s work, study and social life also suffer many negative effects as a result. There is no cure for psoriasis, however, there are always some patients who blindly pursue the so-called “cure”. Some patients, because they are in a hurry, even blindly believe in the “ancestral secret recipes” claimed in some advertisements, without knowing that these so-called secret recipes may cause serious toxic side effects such as liver and kidney toxicity, teratogenicity, dyslipidemia and white blood cell decline. At present, psoriasis treatment mainly includes topical treatment, physical therapy and systemic treatment. Common topical topical drugs include: vitamin D3 analogues, glucocorticoids, emollients, etc. Topical treatments such as application of creams are effective and safe treatments for psoriasis and are recommended by treatment guidelines. However, because they do not contain hormones and are slow to work, it is important to adhere to the medication in order to have good results. Drugs that contain hormones need to be used with caution and should never be used for a long time. To deal with psoriasis, scientific and standardized professional treatment is crucial, especially for patients with severe disease who have been delayed or treated for a long time and have recurrent attacks, it is important to seek medical attention from a regular hospital dermatology department in a timely manner. The experienced doctor will develop a personalized treatment plan based on seasonal factors, the type and cause of psoriasis, and the actual condition of the patient. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things. It is clinically found that psoriasis patients who are optimistic, cheerful and confident in life tend to have better treatment effects, while patients who are under too much pressure and in a negative mood for a long time are prone to relapse and aggravation. Liu Huanqiang reminded patients that they should know how to adjust their negative emotions in time and actively cooperate with doctors in treatment. 2, moderate exercise exercise fitness can enhance the body’s immunity, improve the metabolic function of the skin, psoriasis condition will also be reduced with the improvement of the body state. For example, eight-danjin, taijiquan and other exercises can help patients enhance their physical fitness. At the same time, moderate physical exercise can also help patients improve their mood and establish a positive mindset. 3, avoid spicy diet In terms of diet, it is necessary to avoid spicy and fire-prone food, as well as to avoid the stimulation of alcohol. It is recommended to often eat vegetables containing carotene, vitamin C and other ingredients, such as cabbage, bean sprouts, spinach, celery, tomatoes, beans, etc. 4, more sunshine in winter In autumn and winter, sunlight is reduced and the climate is dry, making the barrier function of the skin weakened, and psoriasis is prone to recurrence and aggravation. Patients whose condition is easily aggravated in the cold season, under the premise of good warmth, often go outdoors in the sun and breathe fresh air.
