The annual increase in the number of such patients is 5-8%. According to WHO data, psoriasis may become one of the diseases affecting mortality and life expectancy in the coming years. These patients develop involvement of the joints and spine. A link between psoriasis and chronic diseases of the cardiovascular system, musculoskeletal system, and diabetes mellitus has been proven. Despite the fact that the disease is classified as chronic and incurable, people with this diagnosis have a chance to live with healthy, clear skin. In psoriasis, there is an excessive rate of growth of skin cells—the keratinocyte, which leads to the formation of psoriatic plaques. Skin scales do not exfoliate, and this is the cause of the formation of spots where microbes begin to multiply. This is how they form a "horny armor."
Causes of the Disease
Psoriasis is a polyetiological (multi-causal) disease. As a result, different provoking factors are identified:
Autoimmune reaction. It develops in the body due to a failure in the immune system. With a healthy immune system, the body repels antigen attacks. However, aggressive environmental factors, with an altered immune response, begin to damage the skin, causing an inflammatory reaction in it, which then penetrates the tendons and joints.
Heredity. If both parents have psoriasis, the risk of developing this disease in a child is 65%.
Endocrine system disorders. This primarily concerns women. The risk of developing psoriasis increases during menopause when hormonal levels change.
Skin microbiome disruption. A large number of microbes live on our skin. In a healthy person, this microbial composition is quite balanced. Dysbiosis can occur with the use of hygiene products containing a large number of antibacterial components, with poor personal hygiene, and also with skin damage that is accompanied by microbial inflammation.
Severe chronic stress. This is a powerful factor provoking the development or relapse of psoriasis. For example, it is proven that the number of schoolchildren complaining of psoriatic eruptions increases during the period of taking the Unified State Exam (EGE).
Infections. If a person has had a viral disease and has a genetic predisposition to autoimmune diseases, the risk of acquiring them greatly increases.
Female sex. Hormones and a stronger immune system than in men can be provocateurs of these diseases.
Liver dysfunction. If the excretory system does not work properly, toxins begin to be excreted through the skin.
Symptoms of Psoriasis
Psoriasis is easily recognized by its characteristic signs:
Eruptions on the elbows, knees, scalp, and abdomen. The plaques are bright red at the beginning of the disease, and then they are profusely covered with silvery-white scales.
Scaling of the hairy scalp.
Pruritus (itching) in the affected areas.
Hair loss (alopecia).
Joint pain (arthralgia). When the disease progresses, it also negatively affects the joints.
One of the signs is the involvement of the nail plates (nail psoriasis).
Stages of the Disease
Since the disease is chronic, it has stages of remission and exacerbation (flare-up).
Progressive. Pruritus appears on the body, along with red and pink plaques, which often secrete fluid (exudate).
Stationary. The plaques are covered with gray scales or a crust. The growth of new eruptions slows down.
Regression (Regressive stage). The plaques gradually decrease in size and then resolve (resorb). Pruritus and scaling of the skin decrease.
Severe psoriasis can lead to the development of hepatic steatosis (fatty liver dystrophy).
Myths about the Disease
Psoriasis is contagious. If a person with this disease is near you, there is no cause for concern; it is not transmitted by air or by any contact.
If you move to a warm country, you won't have psoriasis. There are two forms of psoriasis: summer and winter. A doctor must decide on climatic treatment, as a severe exacerbation may occur.
Methods of Prevention
If you know that relatives in your family had psoriasis, you should monitor your skin much more carefully. In 40% of cases, psoriasis first occurs in people who abuse alcohol. Therefore, you need to limit your alcohol consumption. Avoid stress whenever possible. Do not steam or rub the skin with harsh washcloths. Do not engage in self-medication. Self-prescribing medications can lead to negative consequences.
Diagnosis and Treatment of Psoriasis at Expert Clinics
Doctors have been searching for an effective means of treating psoriasis for decades. Each clinical case is individual. First, a history is taken (anamnesis) and a visual examination is performed. The disease significantly worsens the quality of life, reduces work capacity, and social activity of patients. Psoriasis cannot be cured with antibiotics, as the underlying cause of this disease is not an infection, but an immune system failure that causes accelerated division of epidermal cells. When contacting Expert Clinics, our doctors conduct a comprehensive patient examination and prescribe a personalized treatment protocol. Thus, psoriasis goes into long-term remission, and metabolic pathways and the immune system are restored. This helps prevent relapse and makes the body more resistant to external factors.
