Psoriasis – deterministic disease that arises as a result of hyperproliferations cells of the dermis, the failure of immunity with the synthesis of immune dependens mediators, provoking inflammation in the skin. Normalize the processes of differentiation of keratinocytes, the restoration of cell mitosis and immunity are used drugs of different groups (cytostatics, retinoids, immunosuppressants).
Scheme of the use of these or other drugs depends on the degree of development of the disease, the type of rashes and age of the patient.
A comprehensive treatment of psoriasis
A comprehensive treatment of psoriasis involves the use of not only drugs, but also physiotherapy procedures. Contribute to the restoration of mitosis, which leads to the removal of hyperkeratosis and inflammatory processes in the skin cover. Therapy against psoriasis includes several areas, namely:
- external agents (ointments, gels, liniments, creams, sprays) – support the local removal of the inflammatory processes in the areas of the skin that are affected by psoriatic plates;
- parenteral and oral drugs (pills, tablets, injections, vitamins) – a means of systemic therapy, which have influence on the work of individual organs and systems;
- physiotherapy equipment (cryotherapy, hemosorption, laser) – hardware methods of treatment aimed at cleansing the blood and skin sheets from pathological entities;
- spas ways – a kind of spa treatment with the use of herudotherapy, mud baths, thermal springs, etc.;
- diet therapy – rational nutrition, contributes to the normalization of cellular metabolism, and therefore mitosis.
The selection of a specific destination therapy depends on the stage of development of psoriasis. For example, in the stage of progression, i.e. the active development of the psoriatic plaques can not use different types of physiotherapy procedures. This can cause even greater aggravation of the disease.
The choice of the complex therapy
During the disease is largely determined by the degree of development of pathological processes, factors that caused the failure of immunity, the age of the patient, etc. In the process of the appointment of an adequate comprehensive medical activity the doctor takes into account:- the causes of the development of the pathology;
- phase of the development of the disease;
- type of psoriatic rashes;
- gender and age of the patient;
- function the course of the disease;
- a tendency to allergic reactions.
A careful study of the medical history of the patient allows to determine the direction of treatment, which will help you to achieve the best therapeutic results. A special role dedicated to the analysis of trigger mechanisms, which resulted in the onset of psoriatic plaques. The triggering mechanism development of the disease can become an emotional strain, chronic diseases, autoimmune disorders, change of climate and so on
The selected direction of the therapy must be precisely justified the pathogenesis of psoriasis. In the opposite case, to suppress the pathological processes in the body fail, which will lead to complications.
General principles of therapy
According to the results of recently conducted a health consultation, which was attended by experts from 19 slovenian countries, effective treatment of psoriatic disease is based on the implementation of 3 principles:
- strict adherence to the algorithm a comprehensive treatment measures;
- constant monitoring of the reaction of the organism to the action of these or other drugs;
- timely adjustment of therapeutic principles of treatment.
Unfortunately, in 45% of cases the generalization of the inflammatory process in the development of psoriasis was caused by the compliance of the rules of treatment, which are designed according to the doctor. To reduce the risk of education of psoriatic commemorative plates throughout the body, it is necessary to clearly follow the instructions that are given by an expert in the process of therapy.
Treatment in the stage of progress
Scheme of complex treatment of psoriasis is determined by the degree of development of the defective process. In the stage of progression, i.e. active appearance of new disease symptoms and skin rashes, it is worth it to hold about such a scheme of treatment:
- Corticosteroid ointment – stop the manifestations of the disease and contribute to the elimination of inflammatory processes;
- Enriched preparations – contribute to the normalization of metabolism, which will allow you to restore cellular mitosis;
- Antihistamines - to – remove severe itching and swelling of the tissue in the vicinity of the foci of inflammation.
The use of the above funds to stage the progression of the disease due to their pathogenetic activity. They have a pronounced antiphlogistic, anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties.
Treatment on the solid line, and the retrogressive stage
Inpatient and retrogressive stage of development of the disease are characterized by slightly pronounced peeling of psoriatic plaques. However, at this stage of the pathology occurs peripheral increase, i.e. growths papules or appearance of new symptoms of the disease. In this case, treatment is focused on the use of drugs, which are peeling off, disinfecting and wound-healing action.
Scheme of treatment of genodermatosis will be approximately such:
When a heavy course of the disease for the relief of symptoms apply not only corticosteroids and outdoor interiors, but also cytostatic agents
They have a pronounced immunosuppressive action, i.e. to suppress the immunity. It prevents inflammation of the skin sheets, which attacks the antibodies to the epidermal cells.
