After twenty years of being sick, and having watched more than a few of my own trials and tribulations, as well as those of other patients, about psoriasis, my perception of it has become clearer little by little over time. The disease we suffer from is medically known as psoriasis. Since some other skin diseases are also collectively referred to as psoriasis in folklore, we will not discuss them here. There is only one topic in this article – psoriasis. How does psoriasis come about? Countless people are obsessed with this question, there are so many unlucky people, why me? I can’t think of a good way to explain it other than destiny. Why do 10,000 people buy lottery tickets and only one person wins? It’s all about probability. You ask the winner, what’s his trick? He doesn’t know either. Currently, the medical profession has a clearer perception that the onset of the disease is caused by a polygenic defect, coupled with acquired predisposing factors. One may ask, why is it that neither of my parents have it and I do?OK, to repeat the phrase, psoriasis is the result of a polygenic defect. Don’t forget that you are the result of the combined efforts of your father and your mother. In mathematical terms, this is (1+1)รท2. Both parents have genetic defects, but neither of them has enough defects to cause the disease because it’s a polygenic disease, and you just might have inherited defects from both of them, which is equivalent to you collecting all the 7 Dragon Balls. Quantitative change causes qualitative change. Even if you have collected all the defects, you may not develop the disease. There is also a triggering factor here. It is equivalent to you having a seed, but the seed may not necessarily germinate. It also needs sunlight air water temperature. The pathogenesis of psoriasis is probably much more complex than that, and the triggers summarized are, colds, infections, emotions, trauma, low immunity, environmental discomforts, and drug triggers. Which gene is defective? I’m not the only one who can’t say, neither can the medical experts. At present, only a number of related genes have been found, not completely. It’s equivalent to only having clues to some of the suspects, there are still others that have not been found. There are too many genes, too many chromosomes, too many to find. And these genes affect each other, a affects b, b affects c, c affects d, d affects f. It will take time to figure out the pattern between them. We just have to wait. Can psoriasis be cured? There are many, many different treatments for psoriasis. The general idea is to change the course of things at different stages. There are also analogies to be made. Let’s say the psoriasis on our body is equivalent to an apple, what are the ways to keep this apple from growing or just make this apple grow weak? There are actually a variety of methods, such as blocking watering, blocking fertilization, blocking pollination, blocking photosynthesis… different therapies are interfering at different pathogenic levels. Existing conventional treatments tend to interfere at a later stage. In the future, when there’s a bull’s-eye on the horizon maybe it’ll be possible to change the properties of the apple tree so that it’s an apple tree without the ability to bear fruit. That’s still a very distant future. This is just a common analogy, and you should not believe that the old miracle doctor can get rid of this apple tree. To cure or not to cure? This depends on your mood, and how much you tolerate this disease. If the impact of the disease on you is within your tolerance level, then you may not cure it. The tolerance level of the disease varies greatly from person to person. And the tolerance level varies with age and living environment. Fresh and cute little girls have a very low tolerance for it, almost not allowing it to have the slightest presence on their body, while old losers are much more tolerant, as long as it doesn’t creep up on their face, love it or hate it! There are also cases where the disease pushes your tolerance limit step by step. I’m sure many of you are like me. The disease pushes me back one step at a time. In most cases, I find a balance point between me and it. As it closes in on that equilibrium point I also power down and it backs off a little more. Usually it’s the one that beats me to the punch and screws me over. When it’s time to retreat, you have to retreat, one step back and the sky is wide open. After all, our means are limited, the opponent’s kung fu is unpredictable, and push it to the brink, its counterattack is very powerful. The severity of the disease varies greatly from person to person. The reasons for this are quite complex, ranging from rebound caused by improper treatment to differences in bodily functions. Such differences are not easy to find not easy to change. Some people have mild conditions throughout their lives, others have severe conditions. It’s like I’m better looking than you. Why? There’s no reason, it’s just the way it is. You can’t grow up like me no matter how hard you try. Some people have a mild condition, and you shouldn’t be complacent, it’s because you’re luckier. Most of the people in the world are luckier than you are because they will never get psoriasis in their lives. Some people have a very severe condition and you should also look away, you are the unlucky one chosen by God. How do you choose to treat psoriasis? The principle of psoriasis treatment is not to take it internally if you can use it externally. Topical medications are divided into two categories, hormonal and non-hormonal. The mechanism of treatment is similar, both from the skin cell proliferation, filamentous division level to stop. The use of hormonal creams has a relatively big flaw. It is that improper use may lead to severe rebound aggravation, which requires attention in terms of the dosage used and the way it is stopped. Some people have an innate fear of hormones, which is unnecessary. Hormones have saved countless lives clinically. Injectable hormones should not be used as a last resort. When do you need to use hormone injections? Almost life-threatening or loss of self-care ability, at this time you must be lying in the hospital… Need to be vigilant is that some of the so-called folk doctors, secret recipes. Will give you secretly use excessive amounts of hormones. This time is more dangerous, or that is not to use drugs of unknown composition. In vivo administration includes taking and injecting. The ones that can make a significant difference are immunosuppressants and biologics in addition to hormones. The immunity of a person with psoriasis is not low, but disordered. The T-cells in the immune cells attack (or interfere with) the skin cells in a nerve-like manner, and the function of immunosuppressants is to reduce the activity of the T-cells. This leads to treatment. The improper use of immunosuppressive drugs can also be very dangerous. A more typical drug is methotrexate, which is effective and cheap. Many miracle doctors use it as a secret formula to pursue quick and effective results, thus victimizing patients. With specific targeting, biologics are a bit bullish in comparison. If the immunosuppressant is a blockbuster kill, the biological agent is a small annihilation, minimizing the indiscriminate killing of innocents, thus reducing the side effects. Currently, biologics are still relatively expensive. On top of that there are physical therapies. For example, ultraviolet light, hydrotherapy. People found that sunlight has a certain therapeutic effect on psoriasis, after research that is a specific wavelength of ultraviolet light in the sunlight plays a role, so clever human beings made a specific lamp, this lamp only produces this wavelength of ultraviolet light, than the sunlight purity is higher, the illumination is stronger, more effective than the sunlight safer. Hydrotherapy is the use of various kinds of water, such as tap water spa seawater, to immerse the body inside the water. It allows every cell of the skin to gurgle and drink water. Also some specific ingredients in the water have healing properties. Psoriasis is a chronic disease that recurs. Even without any intervention, the condition can go from mild to severe and back again. And no single method works for everyone. As for relapse, it is a matter of personal constitution, and even with treatments that seem to us to be very inappropriate (e.g. hormone injections) there are people who do not have relapses for many years. Regardless of how a drug is administered, it is the active ingredient in the drug that acts on your body. From the molecular level, no matter Chinese or Western medicine, Southern or Northern medicine are all the same thing, are certain specific chemical elements in action. Exactly which chemical ingredient? There are known and unknown. Every plant is a chemical factory; plants use air inorganic salts and sunlight to produce chemicals. Because of the diversity of plants, it may be that which chemical in which plant has a therapeutic effect. But don’t feel that herbal medicine is safe, on the contrary due to its unknown nature, its safety is also under a big question mark. Why can’t doctors cure psoriasis? I think some people have some particularly strange worldviews. They think it’s medicine’s lack of effort that creates the suffering of patients. Objectively speaking, medical advances over the last two or three hundred years have been dramatic and breathtaking. But medicine will always be a discipline that fights against God. In the foreseeable future, it will not be possible for mankind to defeat God. So please understand that “man cannot do it”, life contains more mysteries than a galaxy, and our understanding of the human body is only a little bit pathetic. It is also a complete lie to say that if a leader or the richest man in the world suffers from a certain disease, he can be cured. How many people who have ruled the world have died and it wasn’t because of his power fame and wealth that allowed him to live past 200 years old. The world doesn’t have cars that don’t need power, not because auto workers don’t work hard. There is no meal in the world that you eat that you will never be hungry again, not because the cook doesn’t try. Similarly there is no medical technique in the world that will make you healthy and live forever. Do you need to avoid food or not? Please be bold and eat all the things you love to eat. When there is a significant deterioration in your condition after eating such things. Then it means you are allergic to this food. Just don’t eat it anymore. If you don’t have a significant reaction after eating it, please keep eating it boldly. Psoriasis patients have no toxins in their bodies, so there is no need for the so-called detoxification. There is also no need to believe that eating any food can detoxify the body and cure the disease. About choosing a hospital, which hospital should I go to? Psoriasis treatment is a long process, so in their own home near the big hospital treatment on it, just choose your city people’s hospital. There is absolutely no need to happen to wade through the water to go to the big city to get medical treatment, come to the big hospital in the big city, you have to give the number of traffickers to fight wisdom and courage. Although psoriasis is a medical problem, its treatment is not complicated, not profound, no more complicated than a woman giving birth to a child. Think about who in your neighborhood goes to the Beijing hospital to give birth to their children. They all go to the local hospitals, right? It is not recommended to go to those advertised hospitals for treatment. As soon as you see the advertisement of this hospital, you have to exclude this hospital. That’s the way it is in China. It is a difficult process for newcomers to accept the possibility of having to live with this disease for the rest of their lives. It’s like when I didn’t accept the fact that my girlfriend was going to say goodbye to me forever. I am not a medical professional, the medical expertise involved in this article may not be rigorous. Once again, I would like to remind all of you to go to the hospital if you are sick, the Internet is not the place to diagnose. Don’t believe in the network of all kinds of so-called folk doctors, bias recipes and secret prescriptions. Every day on the Internet, there are doctors who claim to be able to cure psoriasis. In addition to the treacherous people who pretend to understand, there are also unknown for the sake of money or not for the money of the burnt cake. No amount of vivid language preaching will change one fact. That is, there will always, always be people who make the same mistakes. It is a natural phenomenon that those who cheat will be cheated. Even though we have been cracking down on these charlatans, I’m sure it won’t be eradicated. I also don’t think it’s entirely a bad thing to fall prey to a miracle doctor. If it happens to be cured, and a long time does not recur, we congratulate congratulations; if the condition deteriorated, and even appeared very serious consequences, then we have another can educate people’s negative teaching materials. For Baidu psoriasis bar, this is simply a no-lose situation.
