Psoriasis is known as psoriasis in daily life, although with the word "psoriasis", but psoriasis is not ringworm, so it will not be contagious, see psoriasis patients do not have to worry about, and do not discriminate against them.

Psoriasis is a common inflammatory skin disease. It can affect people of all ages, and both men and women are susceptible to the disease. The lesions of this disease are in the form of dots or erythematous scales, which may be accompanied by itching, and the scales can be seen as a layer of thin film at the lesions after scratching and peeling off, and there are also hemorrhagic spots. Generally the course of the disease is long, lingering and difficult to cure, often recurring, and is currently a treatment problem in the international arena.

The causes of psoriasis are complex, and studies have shown that the disease is not caused by a single factor, but by a combination of factors. Some patients state that their parents or children also have the disease, which is often referred to as the genetic factor. Parents with psoriasis may pass it on to their children. Therefore, if you have been diagnosed with this disease and want to have children, you should consider the next generation and go to the hospital and listen to the doctor's advice in order to have a healthy baby. Low immunity can cause various diseases, and immune factors have a lot to do with the development of this disease. In addition, infection is also closely related to this disease. Many patients are found to have upper respiratory tract infections before the onset of the disease, and many of them have symptoms of redness, swelling and pain in the pharynx when they visit the doctor. In addition to the above three factors, mental factors, dietary habits, seasonal factors also have a great influence on this disease.

However, the ringworm we are talking about is a skin disease caused by fungi, and there is still no definitive study showing the relationship between this disease and fungi. Although psoriasis is more difficult to treat, the symptoms can still be relieved to a very certain extent through standardized treatment. Reducing recurrence, alleviating the symptoms, and controlling it not to develop in the direction of seriousness are the goals of our treatment.

Welcome to Apricot Island for more interesting health facts!

Psoriasis is not ringworm, which is a skin disease caused by a fungal infection that is contagious. And psoriasis is called psoriasis in modern medicine, commonly known as psoriasis, is a chronic inflammatory skin disease. The course of the disease is long, and some cases are almost lifelong. Clinical manifestations of erythema, scales, the whole body can be onset, to the scalp, limb extensor more common. It is easy to diagnose seborrheic dermatitis and pityriasis rosea.

The development of psoriasis is associated with a number of factors and is the result of a combination of innate and acquired factors.

Innate Factors:Related to heredity, the underlying cause of psoriasis intrinsic to psoriasis is polygenic variation.

External factors:Infection, trauma or psychological stimulation, changes in the surrounding environment, and even drug stimulation, to name a few.

At present, the prevention and control of psoriasis has attracted great attention from the international community. In 2013, the annual meeting of the World Federation of Psoriasis proposed that the treatment strategy of psoriasis should be positioned at "controlling the development, reducing the recurrence, and preventing complications", which coincides with the prevention and control goal of "giving full play to the advantages of Chinese medicine characteristics, and realizing the complementary advantages of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine". This coincides with the goal of "giving full play to the characteristic advantages of traditional Chinese medicine and realizing the complementary advantages of traditional Chinese and Western medicine", so the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine is a kind of treatment choice for our Chinese patients.

Psoriasis is clinically divided into 4 types: common type, arthritic type, pustular type and erythrodermic type. Ordinary psoriasis accounts for more than 90% of cases, and is the most common clinical type, characterized by "punctate hemorrhagic phenomenon" and "homomorphic reaction in the acute phase".

In addition, improper treatment of psoriasis vulgaris can often lead to the development of pustular or erythrodermic psoriasis, and when the condition is not effectively controlled, the longer the duration of the disease, the more severe the condition becomes, and the greater the chances of developing arthropathic psoriasis.

Here is a brief mention of psoriasis has four major serious complications: joint changes are the most common; cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are also detrimental to psoriasis; metabolic syndrome is a difficult companion of psoriasis; and finally autoimmune diseases and malignant tumors are the black encounter.

Therapeutically, prevention and treatment are equally important.

Prevention: 1. Genetically speaking, 11.9% of children with normal parents develop psoriasis; the chance of a single parent developing the disease is about 18.4%; 66.7% of children with two parents develop the disease (note: although there is a genetic predisposition to carry the gene, it is not certain that the disease will develop, and it can only develop if there is some kind of triggering stimulus).

So reduce the probability of heredity: For patients who have already suffered from psoriasis and have not yet been cured, it is suggested that it is best not to have children for the time being, and wait until the condition is under control and there is no recurrence for the time being, then have children, so that the probability of heredity can be appropriately reduced, which is good for the physical and mental health of the next generation. It is important to note that after the symptoms are relieved, consolidation treatment must be continued for 2-3 months to maximize the effect of the treatment, do not give up halfway.

2. Understand the triggers of psoriasis such as.

Control infection, trauma;

Fried, hot and dry foods (tobacco and alcohol), allergenic foods (seafood, chili peppers, beef and lamb);

Some psoriasis-inducing medications include antipyretics, antibiotics, B-adrenoceptor blockers, anti-malarials, lithium, and interferon, which can be used by patients with psoriasis to induce psoriasis when treating other diseases.

Psychiatric and environmental factors are also very important triggers.

Therefore, you should pay attention to the following matters.

1. It is advisable to take a warm bath, prohibit the use of strong alkaline soap and shampoo, and keep the indoor air fresh and circulating.

2. Wear clean and soft clothes, change underwear and bed linen diligently to prevent skin infections.

3. Avoid trauma, anti-scratch stimulation, so as not to produce skin lesions.

4. Diet general general food, to light mainly, less tobacco and alcohol, do not eat easy to cause allergies to food.

5. Avoid wind and cold and prevent upper respiratory tract infections.

6. Pay attention to dietary hygiene, do not rub the lesion area, prevent erosion and secondary infection.

7. Maintain emotional optimism, good mood, and enhance confidence in overcoming the disease.

Medication is divided into systemic and topical medications.

Systemic therapy/Moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, arthritic psoriasis, pustular psoriasis and erythrodermic psoriasis require systemic medication. Commonly used medications are as follows

1. Retinoids: Since the introduction of synthetic vitamin A in 1943, vitamin A and its derivatives have become a new milestone in dermatologic therapy. Currently, the most effective retinoid used systematically in the treatment of psoriasis is Avitamin A.

2. Methotrexate: It is a dihydrofolate reductase inhibitor, which can inhibit DNA synthesis, thus inhibiting the proliferation of keratinocytes and immunoreactive cells, and improving inflammation.In 1971, the FDA approved this drug for the treatment of psoriasis.

3. Biologics: Biologics have flourished since the FDA approved etanercept for the treatment of arthritic psoriasis in 2002. Biologics currently available or soon to be available in China include: etanercept, infliximab, adalimumab, and ustekinumab, all in injectable form.

4. Azathioprine

5. Cyclosporine

6. Antibiotics

7. Traditional Chinese medicine

Topicals.

Calcipotriol, salicylic acid, glucocorticoid ointment, urea ointment, petroleum jelly, etc.

Physical Therapy/Light Therapy, Photochemistry.

Baths/starch baths, medicated baths

In conclusion, regardless of the type of treatment, there are various options for medication, which need to be used under the guidance and supervision of a doctor. A reminder to note that although psoriasis systemic medication has been found to be rapid this year, patients with severe psoriasis are still at risk of relapse after discontinuing the medication.

I hope the above answers are of some help, thanks!

This is actually a problem with the concept of Chinese and Western medicine.

In Chinese medicine: ringworm is broadly defined as a skin condition in which the skin is thickened with scaling or with oozing. So a lot of flaking, peeling skin diseases are called ringworm. And "psoriasis" itself belongs to the name of Chinese medicine, currently refers to psoriasis, but in the past psoriasis also includes neurodermatitis, chronic recurrent eczema. Therefore, if you are looking at Chinese medicine, then psoriasis belongs to the "ringworm".

Western medicine (modern medicine): "ringworm" is a specific reference to the fungal mold infection caused by skin diseases, such as ringworm, tinea pedis, tinea corporis, ringworm, is a kind of infectious disease, and there is a certain degree of contagious. Psoriasis has no fungal infection and is not contagious, so it does not belong to "ringworm". Therefore, if you see a Western doctor, psoriasis does not belong to the "ringworm".

The first step of Fuzheng ringworm treatment: stopping the medicine ➕ repairing the liver stage: in order to have a better therapeutic effect in the second stage, the patient is required to stop the medicine for a period of time, the specific length of which is based on the individual differences of the patient. If the patient's medical history is simple, the stopping time will be short. If the disease is complicated and the treatment is excessive, no matter whether the patient has used traditional Chinese medicine or western medicine injections, the stopping time will be longer. During the withdrawal period, only drink the liver-repairing herbal packets with boiled water, two paper cups a day. Phenomena that may occur during the withdrawal period: For patients with simple conditions, there is no excretion or the degree of excretion is slight. Some patients who have been over-treated with western medicine or hormone ointment for a long time, during the period of stopping the medicine, the degree of excretion phenomenon is serious, and the affected area is dry, cracked, painful and bleeding or itchy and intolerable!

The second step of Fuzheng Ringworm Drainage Therapy: At the beginning stage, take the pills according to one-third of the normal amount, and the amount of pills will be adjusted differently in different seasons. After twenty days of taking pills, according to the patient's body reaction, if the external discharge reaction has been obvious, there is no need to increase the amount of pills. If the patient has no external discharge reaction, the dosage is increased to half of the normal amount. After another twenty days, the patient's external discharge reaction appears, then there is no need to increase the dosage. If there is still no movement, take the normal amount all the way through! Taking insect pills stage, the situation will occur: First, the condition of simple patients, no external discharge reaction or the degree of external discharge reaction is average, not itchy, not painful, not dry and cracked. Such a situation, the patient just need to continue to adhere to the treatment until cured. Second, the complexity of the disease, a variety of treatment drugs have tried, the external use of hormone creams applied for a long period of time, there will be a very obvious phenomenon of external discharge, accompanied by huge itching, dry cracks and pain, bleeding. In such a situation, the patient needs to reduce the dosage of the drug, so that the symptoms can be relieved a bit, together with the external washing of the Chinese medicine package and softening Vaseline, black ointment application. The biggest trouble at this stage: the patient does not know enough about my family's special cure, is not psychologically strong enough and is not fully prepared for it. At this time, the patient will appear all kinds of negative emotions, this time more and we timely communication and exchange, because you are now experiencing all kinds of pain, is often encountered in our clinic, do not worry. Survive this stage, you, like me, will meet a brand new you: you without any ringworm blocks on your skin, a half successful get rid of psoriasis you!!!!

Step 3 of Fuzheng Ringworm Drainage Therapy: After surviving the uncomfortable external drainage stage, the external ringworm lumps will become thinner and smaller, and slowly subside. For patients with simple disease, the ringworm lumps will subside directly, and no new ringworm poison will be discharged even if they continue to take the medicine. In patients with complicated conditions, after the ringworm has subsided once, new ringworm poisons will appear again when the medication is continued, but this time the ringworm poisons discharged will be much less than those discharged for the first time. Continue to take medication, again external discharge ringworm poison, this process is repeated several times, the complexity of the patient's body ringworm poison will also be cleaned up! Insect drugs, broken down into particularly small amino acids, is responsible for the body's blood within the deepest hidden jock itch poison slowly resolved; other non-insect drugs are also slowly conditioning to enhance the body's positive qi. Throughout the treatment process, the body is well-conditioned, the positive qi is sufficient, that is, the immunity referred to by Western medicine is strong, and the ringworm toxin in the blood of the body is also metabolized completely, so that the patient can be good for many years. How many years later even if relapse, but also the ringworm block, more will not be like stopping western medicine needle after the big rebound! Patients taking the same medication will quickly subside and be clean for many more years! Also get rid of psoriasis on the majority of patients!

The last step of the Fuzheng ringworm treatment: the consolidation stage, which is also an important factor in reflecting the special nature of my family's treatment. After the patient's entire ringworm elimination process is over, the patient is generally required to continue taking the same medication for three months, and to continue to consolidate for two months in the spring of the second and third years after the cure, so that the entire treatment can be considered complete. The reason for this: worm drugs in addition to metabolism to solve the existing ringworm poison, there is also the effect of pain in the body to activate the effect of the internal organs channel smooth, new ringworm poison will not be easy to generate gather! And then good drugs also need patients to cherish themselves, exercise, healthy life! Normally more aerobic exercise, such as table tennis, badminton, swimming, cycling these. Fruits and vegetables reasonable collocation, good quality beef, lamb, fish should be consumed, so that the body's immunity can be enhanced, the patient's psoriasis will not recur ......

I am a psoriasis patients, childhood, to more than 20 years old and relapse, but also just one-sided, and now more than 40 years ago there was a relapse is very strong all over the body, take medicine and injections a few months to go down, that kind of pain is unimaginable to ordinary people. The skin flakes that fall from the body are even disgusting to myself. When ringworm recurs, it is very difficult to control it for a while. Every day, I fantasize that there is a good medicine for us psoriasis patients to relieve their pain.

Psoriasis is also called psoriasis, is a kind of skin disease, the etiology is complex, the clinical manifestations are diverse, the typical rash is a red plaque, on the lining damage, Chinese medicine believes that most of the spleen and lungs by the spleen and lungs damp heat, the external sense of wind, cold, damp and hot evils or because of the seven feelings of internal injuries and other reasons.

Treatment methods are also varied, but there is no cure yet, mostly based on adjuvant treatment,.

People with this disease, to have confidence in themselves, the mind to be good, everything to think outside the good, I have heard a story, said the two candidates together to Beijing to catch the examination, on the way to meet a funeral procession, the coffin brushed past, a candidate felt bad luck, that the omen is not good, the other candidate thought that the good luck, the coffin, the official and have wealth. As a result, after the examination, the first one fell, after a list, happy is self-seeking, trouble is also self-seeking, in the treatment of disease on the mind has a great role. The

Psoriasis is not ringworm.

Ringworm is a fungal dermatosis that occurs in superficial areas of the skin, the lesions can also have white scales, and the causative agents, such as mycelium and spores, can be detected by fungal examination. Psoriasis is not really a ringworm caused by a fungal infection; it is a complex polygenic skin disease that can occur on the head, trunk, and extensor sides of the extremities.

The reason why it is calledpsoriasisPsoriasis is a disease of the common people called psoriasis because of its recurring nature, which results in a thickening of the rash on the affected area, as if it were a cow's skin.

"Psoriasis" is not "ringworm" and there is a difference between the two. Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease. It begins with inflammatory red papules, the size of a grain of corn or a green pea, and gradually expands and blends to form brownish-red plaques.

There are six main factors that trigger psoriasis:

First: genetic factors;

Second: Immune factors;

Third: Infection factors;

Fourth: Endocrine factors;

Fifth: Psychological factors;

Sixth: Lifestyle, living environment, and drug factors.

The full name of ringworm is tinea corporis, which is also known as "ringworm" or "ringworm". Ringworm is caused by infection with Trichophyton rubrum, S. epidermidis and S. cerevisiae. It can be transmitted through direct or indirect contact, such as contact with ringworm-infected clothing, or by spreading the infection through one's own hands, feet, and nails. Simply put, ringworm stems primarily from fungal infections.

As we all know, ringworm is a relatively terrible skin disease, not that it can cause death, but because it is highly contagious, and there are many kinds of ringworm, such as tinea corporis, tinea cruris, tinea cruris, and so on. Many people think that they have ringworm when they hear the name of the condition, but in fact, this kind of name-calling is incorrect. So what is the difference between psoriasis and ringworm?

Ringworm is a common skin condition that is caused by a fungal infection. When a person's skin breaks down and their resistance drops, there is a lot of mold that can grow within the skin thus creating ringworm. When ringworm is put under a microscope, most of what you see is fungus, and ringworm is particularly contagious, and can be transmitted by contact with the patient's clothing and utensils.

Although psoriasis has the word "ringworm," it is not actually contagious. The symptoms of psoriasis are similar to those of ringworm, hence the name. Psoriasis, known as psoriasis, is a chronic inflammatory skin disease, and infection, immune abnormalities, endocrine factors, psychoneurological factors, although not contagious, but there is a certain family heredity.

Clinical manifestations of erythema, scales, the whole body can be onset, to the scalp, limb extensor more common. It is easy to distinguish seborrheic dermatitis and pityriasis rosea when diagnosing. The onset of psoriasis is related to a variety of factors, and is the result of both congenital and acquired factors. Innate factors:Related to heredity, the root cause of psoriasis is polygenic variation. External factors:Infection, trauma or psychological stimulation, changes in the surrounding environment, and even drug stimulation and so on. So don't worry if you see psoriasis patients, and don't discriminate against them.

The expression of psoriasis varies according to the difference of the period of the disease, the early expression of small white papules with a large number of white scales, that is, white dandruff, and gradually turn into scaly plaques of varying sizes, with the bottom of the plaque reddening, and the appearance of a large number of dry silvery scales. When psoriasis lesions attack, the patient's body is often red spots vague, white flakes rustling, giving people a sense of fear. As a result, some people will often avoid seeing the patient for fear of contagion. In fact, this kind of worry is unnecessary, because psoriasis is not a contagious disease, of course, will not infect other people.

Psoriasis is a chronic relapsing inflammatory skin disease caused by specific circumstances. Because psoriasis is different from ringworm in its composition and causes, it is called "ringworm" but not "jock itch", although the symptoms are similar. Therefore, patients must go to the hospital for diagnosis when similar symptoms appear, and find out the cause of the disease. If patients use ringworm treatment methods to treat psoriasis, it will often delay the best time for treatment and bring serious harm to patients.

At present, psoriasis still can't be completely cured, the curing process is a long-lasting war, need to be prepared psychologically, insist on long-term active treatment in order to control the disease well. In order to reduce the recurrence of psoriasis, patients should also pay attention to follow the doctor's instructions to take medication, do not believe too much in local remedies. It is best not to drink alcohol, do not stay up late, work and rest should be regular, do not eat spicy stimulating food. Most importantly, you must keep a calm mind, positive and optimistic to face this disease, do not worry too much, worry about the sky.

When it comes to psoriasis, I believe that many people have heard of or seen this disease, although the incidence of this disease is not a small group of people, but once suffered from it, it is very difficult to treat. After suffering from this disease, in addition to normal treatment, in ordinary life also have to pay attention to some things.

1, to prevent infection is very important: part of the body organ infection is one of the main factors leading to this disease, especially in the occurrence of colds, if the complication of bronchitis or tonsillitis, the patient must be actively treated to shorten the onset of time as much as possible. If the tonsils are repeatedly inflamed, it is easy to cause this disease, because the patients caused by infection are usually teenagers.

2, away from allergens: allergy is a very common cause of its occurrence, because of diet or taking medication, having contact with allergic substances, etc., can lead to. After each recurrence, patients should seriously think about what they have eaten recently or what they have contacted to cause itchy skin and produce red spots, and avoid contacting things as much as possible in the future, such as beef, mutton, spicy food, some seafood and so on.

3, more exercise: enhance physical fitness can overcome unusual psoriasis, usually psoriasis patients more sports, exercise, jogging, playing ball are very good way, in the process of exercise can also relax the body and mind, let the mood become cheerful.

4, do not get damp and cold: there are a lot of people because of the wind and cold attack and the onset of the disease, because the place where you live is damp, cold weather, will lead to the emergence or aggravation of the disease, at the same time, the disease also has a characteristic, is heavy in winter and light in summer, so the patient should pay attention to as far as possible not to let the skin by too hot or cold stimulation, let the room to keep ventilated, dry.

5, avoid trauma: patients should pay attention to is, trauma will aggravate psoriasis lesions, trauma is also a lot of skin disease direct triggering factors, so usually we have to protect the skin, avoid contact with hard objects, cut vegetables should also be careful, to reduce the chances of skin injuries, to avoid the emergence of psoriasis.

6, calcium supplement: psoriasis patients with a large number of scales off so that the body lost a lot of keratin, not timely supplementation will cause hypoproteinemia. Therefore, we recommend eating eggs anyway, eggs are complete organisms with high nutritional value.

7, intake of vitamins: vitamin A, B, D, B12 and so on. Eat more foods rich in vitamin A, such as egg yolks, green leafy vegetables, corn and so on. More carotene-containing foods are, carrots, sweet potatoes, green beans, tomatoes and so on. Foods rich in vitamin B2 include, peanuts, eggs, lean meat, green vegetables and so on.

8, mental aspect: avoid staying up late, keep the mood optimistic, relaxed, enhance the confidence of overcoming the disease. Psoriasis patients can live with healthy people, do not have to treat themselves as patients who are very different from healthy people, moreover, do not carry too heavy psychological burden. If the patient has such a psychological state, holding a positive, optimistic and confident mentality, it is more favorable to the recovery of the disease.

Although the prevention of skin diseases is greater than the treatment, but if the disease is already sick in addition to good daily care, it is more important to timely treatment, psoriasis treatment is relatively difficult to early treatment, delaying the disease will only make the disease become more stubborn.

Psoriasis is not ringworm this has been controversial, the current psoriasis triggered exactly because of what reason has not been found, some say it is a kind of skin fungus, and said it is a blood problem. Psoriasis is a kind of call of our Chinese people, the skin lesions like cowhide and thick and hard, the surface of a white layer of skin lesions, so called psoriasis, and western medicine are called psoriasis. There are many different ways to treat psoriasis. Internal medicine, external medicine, phototherapy, bloodletting and so on. But these years with the development of medical technology. Although psoriasis can not be eliminated, but through scientific maintenance and prevention is able to control the psoriasis.

From ancient times to the present, many famous people at home and abroad have suffered from psoriasis symptoms, for example, Zeng Guofan, an important minister in the late Qing Dynasty, was recorded as suffering from severe ringworm disease, which has not been cured until his old age. In addition, Stalin, Einstein, Lin Biao and other celebrities also suffered from psoriasis.

Although the cause of psoriasis has not been found, but easy to induce the situation has been found almost, what kind of people are not easy to get psoriasis, healthy, like outdoor sports, pay attention to health, skin easy to oil this kind of people are not easy to get psoriasis. Of course, there are family hereditary except. Psoriasis is only hereditary, not contagious.

If you can stick to exercise, scientific diet and keep a good mood. Sufficient sleep can prevent the recurrence of psoriasis. Psoriasis is actually not so terrible, is all these years indiscriminate use of medication to cure fear. The thought of psoriasis is the kind of white skin all over the body. So I have been advocating that I would rather not treat it than treat it indiscriminately.
