There are several points of view of the medical professionals on the causes of the development of psoriasis, and the study of this question are still in course. Some distinguish two types of this disease: the first is related to immunologic disorders of the processes that are transmitted by inheritance, and is more common in the young age, and the second type is not related to the inheritance and does not hit the skin, like the first, and the nails and the joints and common in people of mature age.
Other researchers tend to believe that the basis for the development of psoriasis include disorders of the immune system, driven, or other diseases, stress, poor weather, and even diet.
It can be said with certainty that the psoriasis is a disease of global nature. Today I have autoimmune hereditary mnogofaktorialnym of the disease.
The symptoms of psoriasis
The symptoms of psoriasis bright and visible: it is the inflammation of the skin in the form of pastas, and peeling red spots (papules). Papules (dry, ascending above the level of the epidermis) are merged and form the plate. In Papularum occurs, the excess angiogenesis is form excess of the capillaries. For psoriasis is characteristic of acceleration of the division of the cells of the skin, which does not allow them to have time to mature and in violation of the interaction intercellular. The immune system in response to these processes produces the cell's defensive agency, which ultimately act against their own same cells. In the opinion chronic form the inflammatory process and the education psoriatic scales. When exfoliation papules can detect more dense than the base, stearin stains and the blood of the dew, which also carry the signs of psoriasis. A place for the spreading of these spots more often turns into hairy skin of the head, area of the skin of the folds and of the stretchers (knees, elbows, the area of the armpits, the areas of the back, under the breasts, on the genitals, nails and joints.
Psoriasis is divided into three types according to the season grievances: the winter (the most common), the summer and the indefinite.
Psoriatic patches may have different contours and dimensions (in the period of exacerbations can reach the place, comparable with the palm of the hand, and perhaps more). The greatest torment patients brings the itching that accompanies the precipitation. In cases of progressive of psoriasis can be observed the phenomenon of the Kebnera that is expressed in the education of the platelets in the land of the lesions of the skin. In the field of platelets, may develop pus, and appear the cracks. In cases in which the psoriasis affects the nail plate, you can see the holes and stains on the nails, the same plate may become thicker and begin to crumble. The symptoms of winter of psoriasis improve in the summer. And years of psoriasis, on the contrary, under the influence of the solar rays is acute. Progress psoriasis begins slowly and, generally, under the action causing injury, violations of the diet, after the infectious diseases, stress, allergies to medications, pregnancy, and sudden changes in the normal life of the organism.
