Psoriasis is a chronic, recurrent, erythematous scaling, immune-related, inflammatory skin disease, flaking, itching and other clinical symptoms seriously affect the work and quality of life of patients, but suffering from psoriasis, there are a few points must know, the author summarizes the following five points, hoping to reach consensus: 1, the basic cognition and mentality: suffering from psoriasis, the current world medical means can not do “If any doctor or individual clinic and you say you can go to the root never relapse, that is basically cheating you, but after regular and effective treatment, psoriasis can be controlled very well, and some patients can be several years without relapse. Therefore, when you have psoriasis, you have to adjust your mentality, because its condition is not heavy, especially the common type, generally does not affect health, try to treat it as a cold, will be with you for a long time, be prepared to live in peace with it, some patients and parents of young patients, treatment is eager, must force psoriasis not to have a rash, this mentality is easy to lead to excessive treatment, to the family Bringing a heavy economic burden to the family, is very detrimental to the long-term control of the overall condition. 2, treatment thinking: three words, very important, “big treatment is better than small treatment, small treatment is better than no treatment, do not treat indiscriminately”! The last sentence is particularly important, indiscriminate treatment is better than no treatment. The purpose of treatment should be clear, which is to reduce recurrence and improve the quality of life. Many patients are anxious about the disease, and some individual clinics and some irregular medical treatment, especially through the network propaganda selling drugs, take advantage of this mentality of patients, in order to bring you a heavier economic burden and aggravation of the disease brought about by the pain! And nowhere to complain! 3, the understanding of hormones: psoriasis itself does not advocate the systematic application of glucocorticoid therapy, such as methylprednisolone, dexamethasone, prednisone acetate, Depo-Provera, etc. Even if you suffer from other diseases that require the application of hormones, you should also consider the impact on psoriasis condition at a later stage and consider whether there are other drugs that can replace hormones to treat. Therefore, do not go to small clinics to randomly inject or IV drugs, or take some unknown drugs, especially if you get well quickly and then relapse in about a month, you should be highly alert to whether the drugs contain hormone ingredients. In addition, is the topical drugs, Western medicine is to support the external use of hormonal drugs for psoriasis, if there are alternative hormonal topical drugs, and does not contain mercury, arsenic and other harmful ingredients, the effect is good, can be chosen. 4, taboo: most Western doctors currently do not advocate taboo, as a Chinese medicine, my personal view is that not blindly taboo, do not have to be too taboo. Avoidance of food needs to pay attention to several points: 1, the progress period, itching is obvious when trying to eat less spicy stimulation, will aggravate the itching and the condition, generally eggs, milk are allowed to eat; 2, write food diary is a good habit, including other allergic diseases, food diary is very helpful; 3, the kind of taboo, not all hair containing pungent smell should not eat, so according to the personal food diary to Selection, and to understand their own constitution, is cold or hot, more understanding of food which is hot, which is cold, such as lamb, chicken is hot, duck is cool, pork is flat, oranges, dates, etc. is hot, grapefruit, pears, grapes is cool, apples, bananas is equal, etc. 5, find the law: friends who have a long history of psoriasis actually understand the above-mentioned situation, so we have to find the law of their own illness, whether it is winter heavy summer light, or summer heavy winter light, whether it is easy to relapse after a cold, tonsillitis, whether it is closely related to a certain food, whether emotions, stress, exertion will obviously affect the condition, then we have to learn to adjust and prevent in advance, that is, with Chinese medicine The first thing you need to do is to learn how to prevent the disease, which is in line with the theory of “treating the disease first and seeking the root of the disease”. ”In the ancient times, people knew that the law of yin and yang, and in the arts, eating and drinking in a disciplined manner, living in a regular manner, not delusional labor, so that the form and God, and the end of its natural life, a hundred years to go; not now, wine as a syrup, delusion as a regular, drunk to enter the room, to want to exhaust its essence, to dissipate its true, do not know to hold full, from time to time, the gods, to fast its heart, contrary to the life and happiness, living without discipline, so half a hundred years and The “decay also” (Neijing Shanggu Tianzhen theory).
