On the online platform, questions from patients about psoriasis are very common, and many patients are eager to have their questions answered by experts. 1. What season does psoriasis abound? Psoriasis brings endless troubles to patients all year round – the dry and cold weather in autumn and winter is the high season of psoriasis, and the condition is also heavier, and the rashes on the body gradually become patches; the weather turns hot in spring and summer, and the skin is exposed due to the reduction of clothing, and patients are eager to cure the rashes as soon as possible. 2, among all the troubles, the most annoying is that it is very easy to recur, after the application of medicine is good, as soon as you stop the medicine hate to commit again. Is there a way to make it not recur at all? There are many patients who have been visiting our psoriasis clinic for a long time, and according to our observation, most of them have some degree of fluctuation in their condition. There are hardly any cases of persistent aggravation, and it is indeed a benign disease. There are often patients who come back to me only after two or three years, and in between they have been doing very well, and this time they have a relapse and their condition is not serious. There are only a very few cases of persistent severe state. So, although there is no guaranteed non-recurrence of treatment and drugs, but experience tells us that I can make patients recover early through standardized treatment, or control the disease and maintain a high quality of life in the long term. 3.What exactly causes psoriasis? Psoriasis is an inflammatory disease of the skin caused by abnormal immune function. Infection is a common precipitating factor for the onset of the disease, and streptococcal infection stimulates the immune system to produce an inflammatory response. Gradually the infection gets better, but this inflammatory response will continue to affect the skin; many psoriasis diseases have a genetic component, and the patient’s immune system is naturally prone to produce this skin inflammation. As we know, the immune system’s greatest characteristic is to “hold a grudge”. After an illness, the same or similar stimulus, such as a cold or fever, will trigger inflammation again one day. If you scratch the lesions, the inflammation will be aggravated; especially when the psoriasis is heavy, the whole body immune system is very “hyper”, and if the skin of other parts is damaged, such as being punctured by a needle, a new papule may grow, the professional term is “isomorphic reaction The professional term is “isomorphic reaction”. A relapse may also occur when the immune system is disrupted by stress, physical fatigue, or trauma. Therefore, the state of the patient’s immune system determines the easy recurrence of psoriasis, which is still difficult to change. But there will be a way in the future. 4.What foods can’t psoriasis patients eat? Many people say that beef and mutton and seafood cannot be eaten, but in fact, there is no more incidence of psoriasis in the population of areas that like to eat mutton or like to consume seafood. In my work I often ask patients who visit me if certain diets aggravate it, and the feedback I get from most people is: “It doesn’t feel obvious”. A part of them is saying, “I just don’t dare to eat”. Only a small percentage really said that eating anything aggravated them. In fact, theoretically, as long as there is no food allergy, there is no effect. But some patients have been instilled with the idea that the so-called “hairy food” will make the disease come back, so they are very anxious to eat a little – because anxiety and nervousness will lead to disease recurrence, then don’t eat; if they just feel that “wine and meat If you just feel that “wine and meat are passing through your intestines” and never think about these problems, then there is no effect. So more often than not, I advise patients not to blindly avoid eating, after all, nutrition is very important, may wish to carefully observe their own life experience, do not be misled. 5. Can the immune environment in the body be “internally regulated” by drugs to prevent recurrence? There is no way, regardless of Chinese medicine and Western medicine. Only fake drugs often claim “100% cure and never relapse after taking the medicine”. However, a reasonable diet, lifestyle habits, exercise, sleep, through these regulation methods, so that the overall immunity to achieve stability, for the prevention of disease recurrence is certainly beneficial. 6.Can’t we take medicine and injections to enhance immunity to treat psoriasis? No. To emphasize, psoriasis is a disorder of the immune system, but it is not as simple as low immunity. For example, the drug interferon, which can enhance immunity to treat hepatitis virus infections, is clearly going to revert to psoriasis.
