Treatment for psoriasis

Dandruff is recognized as the most common skin disease and it occurs in people of any age. It is a prone skin disease and generally it is difficult to treat if you suffer from dandruff. Studies have shown that the occurrence of psoriasis is related to various factors such as human immune dysfunction, metabolic disorders, infection, and genetics. Therefore, it is very necessary to carry out scientific and reasonable treatment based on the causes of psoriasis.

Psoriasis can affect men, women, young or old. It is a common chronic skin disease that is prone to recurring. The current cause of the disease is still unclear and is related to factors such as genetics, infection, metabolic disorders, and immune dysfunction. Although the cause of the disease is unclear, if you take more precautions in your daily life, you can still reduce the frequency of attacks or even prevent them from recurring.

1. Eliminate ideological concerns

People with psoriasis have heavy mental burdens. One is the face issue and they don't want to see people. Another is that the disease may relapse if they are not careful, which makes patients lose confidence in recovery. Therefore, the support and encouragement of relatives and friends are very important. It is important to let the patient let go of his or her mental burden, tell the patient some real examples of improvement through treatment, encourage the patient to have more contact with the outside world, relax and forget about the disease.

2. Avoid triggering factors

Seasonal changes, high work pressure, and humid environments are all likely to cause recurrences of psoriasis, so when the seasons change, you must pay attention to adjusting your diet and daily life, do not eat spicy and irritating foods, quit smoking and drinking, try not to use soap when taking a bath, and the water temperature should not be too high; pay attention to relieving tension, listen to more music when you are under stress, chat with friends more, and take a walk in the woods; in rainy and humid seasons, you should use some dehumidification methods to dehumidify, such as turning on the air conditioner, using some desiccant, and paying attention to drying clothes and quilts when the sun is out.

3. Topical medication

Topical medications for psoriasis patients are mainly used for psoriasis patients with small skin lesions. Under the guidance of a doctor, drugs can be selected according to individual differences, such as tar preparations, salicylic acid preparations, urea, corticosteroids, etc. Be careful when using corticosteroids, as they eliminate skin lesions quickly but are very prone to rebound, so they must be used in a regular hospital and strictly according to the doctor's orders.

4. Systemic drug therapy

If local treatment of psoriasis is not effective, or if the psoriasis lesions are large and complicated by infection, patients should receive systematic drug treatment under the guidance of a doctor in the dermatology department of a hospital or a community hospital based on individual differences, such as the use of immunosuppressants, antibiotics, corticosteroids, etc.

5. Apply physical therapy

Bath therapy has a good therapeutic effect on psoriasis patients. It can improve blood circulation and have anti-inflammatory and antipruritic effects on local skin. Sulfur baths, mineral baths, sea water baths, Chinese medicine baths, etc. are all good choices. In addition, depending on the condition of the disease, you can also choose laser treatment, ultraviolet irradiation, etc., which have a control and treatment effect on the disease.

6. Use traditional Chinese medicine for treatment

Through the dialectical analysis of traditional Chinese medicine, treatment is carried out according to the individual conditions of the patients. For example, if tonsillitis occurs frequently, some medicines that clear away heat and cool blood, prevent wind and relieve itching can be used; if the spleen is damp and the stomach is hot, some medicines that strengthen the spleen and remove dampness can be used; if it is qi stagnation and blood stasis, some medicines that soothe the liver and relieve depression can be used. In addition, Chinese medicine's acupuncture and cupping therapy is also very effective in controlling and treating psoriasis. Acupuncture points are selected on the patient's bladder meridian. First, acupuncture is performed on the acupoints with a three-edged needle, and then cupping is performed with a fire cup. The cup can be removed after 5 minutes, but it still needs to be done in the hospital to avoid infection.

7. Pay attention to vitamin supplementation

Psoriasis patients should supplement their daily lives with oral vitamin D, vitamin B12, selenium, etc. It can also be obtained from the diet, such as eating more green leafy vegetables, animal liver, dairy products, mushrooms and other foods, which are very effective in controlling seizures.
