About the disease

Psoriasis is a common skin disease, manifested by the formation of red and flaky patches covered with white scales on the body.

Usually the spots are localized on the scalp, knees, elbows, and lower back, but psoriatic plaques can also cover other parts of the human body.

This disease affects up to four percent of the population of the European continent, but the intensity of the manifestations of the pathology differs from individual to individual.

Psoriasis

Symptoms and diagnosis

The disease develops due to excessive proliferation of keratinocytes, but this cause of psoriasis is only one of the components of the development of the pathology. It is noted that psoriasis is inherited. Riskogenic factors contributing to the onset of the disease are also previous streptococcal infections and skin injuries, uncontrolled use of certain groups of medications, alcohol abuse, obesity, and dry skin. It is noted that smoking can provoke psoriatic changes in the tissues of the palms and soles of the feet, but this opinion is not supported by facts. The study of the etiology of the disease is still ongoing.

The course of the disease is characterized by cyclicity, with alternating stages of active manifestation of psoriasis symptoms and stages of calm. Clinical symptoms of the disease affect exclusively the skin and manifest as:

  • The appearance of reddish plaques on the skin, which may be covered with plaque and itch.
  • Cracking and deformation of nail plates.
  • Peeling red spots.
  • The appearance of suppuration in the affected areas.
  • Painful sensations in places where pathological structures are located.

During the development of pathology, the Koebner phenomenon appears: psoriatic plaques appear in places of mechanical damage to the skin.

Diagnosis and treatment

Diagnosis of psoriasis on the body is carried out during a visual examination of the patient by a dermatologist. In some cases, it is necessary to take biological skin material for laboratory testing and exclude other dermatological problems: lichen simplex, fungus, seborrheic dermatitis.

In fact, it is impossible to give an exact answer to the question of how to treat psoriasis. The fight against this pathology is to improve the appearance of the skin. Initial therapy is carried out using corticosteroid ointments, synthesized analogues of vitamin D, applied directly to the affected areas of the skin. If topical medications are not effective, light therapy is prescribed, in which the skin is exposed to certain types of ultraviolet light.

Oral medications can also be used. However, it is worth remembering that the use of medications can lead to complications of the disease. Therefore, consult your doctor before taking them. It is also noted that a diet for psoriasis can reduce the number of negative manifestations of the disease. A balanced diet, reducing the calorie content of consumed foods, including fruits, vegetables, fish in the diet and excluding foods containing gluten (wheat, rye, oats, barley) can improve the patient’s condition.

Do not try to perform the procedures specified in the article on your own or take the described groups of drugs without a doctor’s prescription.

Dear Elena Viktorovna! I express my sincere gratitude for your amazing work. Here is my story. At the beginning of the year, I went to the clinic, made an appointment with Dr. Elena Viktorovna, for a consultation and treatment of chronic onychodystrophy and onychomycosis of the nails of the big toes. The nail on the toe of my left foot was in terrible condition, I was even ready for its surgical removal. The doctor immediately offered me a treatment system without the terrible removal: correction with a titanium thread, laser therapy, various external drugs and dietary supplements. I began to come to the procedures and follow all the necessary recommendations for treatment. I really like the laser heating procedure for nails, at first it was a little scary, and then even pleasant. The effect of the treatment did not appear immediately, barely noticeable and gradually as the nails grew. After six months, without exaggeration, a miracle happened: the nails acquired a normal, human appearance, and the former nightmare was left in the past. The treatment is still ongoing, but the positive result is obvious. My long-time dream that I will soon be able to walk barefoot openly is coming true. Elena Viktorovna, you are an excellent doctor and a wonderful person. Your main personal trait is your reverent care for the patient, and your professional traits are your golden hands, experience, iron patience and love for work. I am happy that I got treatment from you. I wish you career growth, success in professional development and studies. Thank you very much! In conclusion, I would like to write a few words to the heads of the clinic: Thank you for the good organization of the clinic, I wish you success and further prosperity. Please pay attention to the excellent work of Dr. Marchenko Elena Viktorovna. She is your golden employee! Such a doctor is the pride of the clinic. Please love, encourage and promote her. Sincerely, your client.
