Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease. It is a polygenic disease that can be triggered by a variety of stimulating factors, such as trauma, infection, and medications that may induce the disease in susceptible individuals. So, how can psoriasis be prevented? What are the precautions? Here is how to prevent psoriasis and what precautions to take: 1. Who is the best doctor to treat psoriasis? Psoriasis is a chronic disease, and modern medicine emphasizes “slow treatment of slow diseases”. Therefore, in the prevention and treatment of psoriasis should focus on “three parts treatment and seven parts prevention”, the patient’s understanding and personal feelings about their own condition is no substitute for any doctor to know. The importance of psoriasis prevention is even greater than the importance of treatment, and proper prevention can reduce recurrence or no recurrence. If prevention is not done properly, the rash will continue to persist and be difficult to subside. Many triggering factors need to be carefully avoided or protected by patients. With scientific treatment and reasonable prevention, many patients can stop developing psoriasis for several years or even a dozen years. Therefore, in a sense, the most “bullish” doctor for treating psoriasis is not a medical expert with a family of apricot trees and a wealth of knowledge, but precisely the psoriasis patients themselves. 2.What problems should psoriasis sufferers pay attention to in their daily lives? According to the results of an epidemiological survey of psoriasis patients in China, the most common triggers for relapse and aggravation are: seasonal factors account for 60.2%, which are the most common triggers for relapse and aggravation, followed by mental factors (34.5%), pharyngitis or tonsillitis (27.4%), diet (23.7%), alcohol consumption (18.4%), drugs (5.3%) and smoking (5.2%) in that order. . Now that winter is in full swing and psoriasis is in full swing, more than 60% of patients are getting worse. Other more important factors are the mental factor of worry and the infection factor such as wind and cold play a more important role. Therefore, psoriasis patients should avoid the stimulation of tobacco and alcohol, avoid staying up late and fatigue, avoid mood swings, mental stress, irregular life, unscientific diet, drug abuse and other problems that promote the aggravation of psoriasis. 3.Why should psoriasis sufferers pay attention to psychological self-regulation? Now research confirms that psoriasis is also one of the psychosomatic skin diseases. A large number of psychological studies show that 30% – 46% of patients with psoriasis, the development process is often related to mental and neurological factors, short-term high mental stress, the burden of thought can trigger or aggravate psoriasis, long-term worry and depression can cause psoriasis delayed. Therefore, adjusting the mentality, facing the existence of the disease, cooperating with the doctor’s treatment and actively preventing it are the magic weapons for psoriasis patients to overcome the disease. 4.Why should psoriasis sufferers pay attention to the prevention of infection? According to the literature, 6% of patients have a history of upper respiratory tract infection, especially drippy psoriasis, erythrodermic type and arthritic type psoriasis are often accompanied by upper respiratory tract infection or tonsillitis and other diseases, and their anti-O value is increased. The proportion of pediatric psoriasis with upper respiratory tract infection or acute tonsillitis is 10%-20%, which is generally believed to be the result of a metamorphic reaction to bacterial toxins or viruses that leads to psoriasis. Therefore, psoriasis patients should pay attention to their daily lives and avoid upper respiratory tract infections or infections of other systems. 5.Do psoriasis sufferers need to avoid eating? Dietary factors are also a causal factor, but only 23% of the ratio. Some so-called “hair products” have the possibility of causing psoriasis to relapse or aggravate, which requires patients to pay attention to the foods that may cause their disease to relapse or aggravate in daily life, and avoid eating the same food if it causes the disease to aggravate or relapse more than twice. It is not advisable to avoid all “hairy foods” without analysis, because a long-term partial diet can lead to malnutrition, reduce immunity, and also trigger the aggravation of the disease or delayed treatment. If you have the conditions, you can also go to the dermatology department to do the relevant food tests to help identify the “hairy substances”. 6.Can psoriasis be treated with hormones? The hormone treatment of psoriasis mentioned by the patients usually refers to the medical glucocorticoids, and the topical glucocorticoid treatment of psoriasis is one of the recognized treatment options at home and abroad, with good efficacy, and patients do not need to avoid using it. The site, course and method of its use need to be carried out under the guidance of a dermatologist in a regular hospital, so that the therapeutic effects of the drug can be brought into play to a great extent while reducing its side effects. Patients are not recommended to apply it freely on their own. The systematic use of glucocorticoids (oral or intramuscular) is absolutely contraindicated for the most common form of psoriasis. Patients do not require quick results and use them to avoid aggravation or transformation. 7.Is there a therapeutic drug or treatment method without side effects for psoriasis treatment? So far, there is no drug or treatment for psoriasis that has no side effects. Patients do not need to deliberately ask for it, as long as the drugs or treatments are adopted in the dermatology department of regular hospitals, doctors will generally control their therapeutic effects and side effects very well. The triggering factors are still unclear and may be caused by a variety of factors such as genetics, immunity, environment, and psychology. Statistics show that the prevalence of psoriasis in China is about 0.47%, with about 6.5 million patients, and there is a rising trend. The incidence rate is higher in the north than in the south. Psoriasis is not contagious, and patients are more likely to have hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, cardiovascular, arthritis and other diseases than normal people. There are many drugs and methods for treating psoriasis, but so far none of them can guarantee a cure, but if long-term standardized treatment is adhered to, it is entirely possible to effectively relieve symptoms, thus avoiding serious complications and improving the quality of life of patients. Due to the influence of the market economy, pseudo-doctors and fake drugs have also appeared. Patients often lack knowledge about psoriasis, resulting in psychological pressure, thus casting around for doctors, or even listening to the deceptive promises of charlatan doctors to cure and cure, and accepting informal or harmful treatment which leads to aggravation and deterioration of the disease.
