Pictures of psoriasis at an early stage of development can help you identify the condition.

It is very important to understand that in different people the disease can manifest itself in different ways - it differs in the degree of intensity, the activity of spreading, the sites of injury and other factors.

Characteristics and symptoms of the initial phase

If you know exactly what the initial stage of psoriasis looks like, you can literally start treating the condition right away. Early-stage symptoms are characteristic, which makes it possible to treat the initial stage of psoriasis even before the visit to the doctor.

Yes, not everyone has the opportunity to see a dermatologist early on in the early stages of the disease. Therefore, home treatment with simple means is relevant. It can be folk remedies and recipes, non-hormonal ointments or non-hormonal drugs.

What does psoriasis look like in the early stages of its manifestation? Pay attention to the condition of your skin.

The main signs of early psoriasis are:

• Rash on different parts of the body, with bright color and pale edges. Areas of the skin that have recently suffered from a burn, cut or hypothermia are particularly susceptible to such rashes. Primary signs may appear 7 to 14 days after skin injury;
• Peeling on the rash. They form in the center of the plates;
• Itching. Psoriatic plaques and papules gradually begin to itch. But not all psoriasis itch, because these symptoms are not universal. It occurs in about half of patients.

Initially, the initial papules, ie the pimples, are very small. Their shape is hemispherical and the surface is smooth and shiny. After a few days, the rashes increase in size, and slight scales form on them.

If you scratch these disease scales and find three characteristic phenomena, then you can accurately determine that you have early stage psoriasis.

1. stearin stains. The scales should be removed from the surface of the papules very easily, even if you literally touch them a little.
2. Movie. The thermal film appears after the glitter is removed. The skin below is red, thin and moist. The surface of the scaleless papule is shiny.
3. Dew. When you have scratched the scales and removed them, blood droplets appear in their place.

The first symptoms usually last for several weeks. During this period, it is extremely important to start effective treatment. If you ignore the disease, the papules can grow to 3 to 8 centimeters, merge into a single whole, and affect huge areas of the skin.

Initial manifestations of psoriasis

The initial stage of the course of the disease is accompanied by localization in different parts of the body. It is almost impossible to predict exactly where psoriasis is occurring.
