Four principles of psoriasis bathing When bathing in psoriasis, in addition to the same as normal people, we should pay attention to the fact that bathing should not be taken immediately after meals, bathing should not be taken when overly tired and hungry, bathing should not be taken when the body is weak, bathing should be cautious when there is high blood pressure and heart disease. We should also pay attention to the following issues: (1) Pay attention to the water temperature and the environment temperature to adapt: the water temperature is too high (above 40℃) will stimulate the skin lesions, resulting in adverse effects; the water temperature is too low (below 34℃) can not better soften the scales and promote the blood circulation of the skin, which is not conducive to the fading of the skin lesions. The general water temperature should be slightly warm or hot to the patient, about 35 – 39 ℃. You can also choose the water temperature according to the type of lesions, such as common progressive and erythrodermic, pustular, exudative lesions, should not receive too strong stimulation, the water temperature should be lower; while the resting lesions, especially the obvious hypertrophic plaque type lesions, the water temperature can be higher. In addition, when bathing should also pay attention to improve the environmental temperature to prevent cold and cold and aggravation of psoriasis. (2) Pay attention to the number of baths and the duration of each bath: in the season of lower temperatures, normal people can take a bath 1 to 2 times a week. And psoriasis patients should take a bath every day if they have the conditions, and it is better if they can take certain medicinal baths or mineral baths. According to clinical experience, if patients can insist on bathing 1-2 times a day for 20-40 minutes each time, compared with patients who use the same medication without bathing, the time of healing can usually be significantly shortened. The duration of each bath varies depending on the temperature of the water chosen by the patient and the tolerance of the individual, and 20 – 50 minutes is generally appropriate. If the water temperature is low and the patient’s tolerance is high, the bathing time can be longer, while the water temperature is high and the patient’s tolerance is poor, the bathing time should be shorter. In short, the maximum degree of bathing should not irritate the lesion patients do not feel fatigue, no discomfort as degree. (3) The way of bathing: it should be appropriate to take a dip. And do not scratch the lesions excessively, and do not use bath towels and other hard rubbing. Experience has shown that any excessive scratching or rubbing the skin lesions suffer from irritation, often affect the fading of the lesions.

For the old and frail and with certain visceral diseases (such as heart disease, hypertension), in addition to the water temperature should not be too high when bathing, it should also be safer to take a sitting shower.
