These are some misleading information that has caused misunderstanding and panic about psoriasis. Many people with psoriasis will be very anxious and fearful when they are first diagnosed, so what kind of mindset should we have to face psoriasis? The official name of psoriasis is psoriasis, a disease that has existed since ancient times, and there are many celebrities who are psoriasis patients in ancient and modern times, such as Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, the late Qing important minister Zeng Guofan, the leader of the Soviet Union Stalin and so on. The ancient Greeks believed that psoriasis was a curse from the gods and forced patients to ring bells to prevent being infected. Modern medical research has shown that psoriasis is not infectious and is not contagious. Why do you get psoriasis? The causes of psoriasis are still being painstakingly explored, and it is currently believed that psoriasis is caused by the action of genetic and environmental factors, specifically environmental factors such as infection, mental stress, trauma, pregnancy, obesity, alcoholism, smoking and certain drugs. Among the infection factors are of more concern, acute streptococcal infection of the pharynx often precedes the onset of acute punctate psoriasis, which improves with antibiotic treatment. It is clear from this that psoriasis has a certain probability of being hereditary. What are the symptoms of psoriasis? In Chinese history, psoriasis patients have non-stop flaky skin, while legend has it that they are reincarnated as python spirits, as was the case with Zeng Guofan. The main symptom of psoriasis is non-stop flaking of the skin, which is mainly caused by the patient’s excessive and rapid keratin formation, with large amounts of keratin loosely accumulating on the surface of the skin and forming visible flaking. In addition to flaking, there are also symptoms such as large red patches and itching, and the scalp, extremities, and trunk are generally the preferred sites. Can psoriasis be cured? Like diabetes and high blood pressure, psoriasis cannot be cured at this time. There is no such thing as a “root” for psoriasis. In many patients, it is very common for the disease to not recur for several years or even a decade. There are some patients who have a relapse once or several times a year, but most of them can control their disease well with standard treatment. How is psoriasis treated? For the treatment of psoriasis, mild rashes that are relatively small in scope only need to be treated with topical creams, commonly used topical creams include carboplatin ointment, tazarotene cream, halometasone cream, etc. For patients with large and severe rashes, oral medications such as Avion capsule combined with phototherapy and medicated baths are required. For drug treatment does not work can also choose biological agents (such as etanercept, adalimumab, infliximab, secukizumab, etc.) targeted therapy, can also achieve good results (specific treatment drugs need to be used under the guidance of a doctor!) . In conclusion, there is no need to be overly anxious when suffering from psoriasis, adjust your mind, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, exercise properly, regulate your body’s immune status, and treat it regularly under the guidance of a doctor, I believe that psoriasis will be well controlled. Set up a positive and optimistic attitude towards life, rather than being beaten down by a small skin disease, there is still a brilliant sunny day behind the dark clouds.
