Psoriasis is a chronic disease with a long-term evolution, and it manifests trough blistering skin and it is different for each person. In some cases the skin manifestations of psoriasis disappear, to reappear after a period of time in one form or a more severe form. Psoriasis, in medium forms of expression, is not a danger to the patient's life. Not treating this particular disease allows the evolution to the stage where it could cause the patient's death.
The treatment of psoriasis in traditional medicine has in mind primarily the structure of liver regeneration and restoration of liver function. Simultaneously, it is acting on the endocrine system to restore the hormonal balance. If psoriasis advanced to the stage of hyper immunity or immune deficiency, the treatment acts to achieve a balanced immune system. Regarding the immune deficiency the patient shows major infections and in case of hyper immunity the patient shows autoimmune manifestation of the disease. If the liver imbalance and psoriatic lesions are caused by a shift of vertebrae, these are placed in anatomical position and occur naturally through acupuncture and physiotherapy to eliminate current imbalances in the body. The treatment acts upon the skin to rebuild it and to revitalize it.
An important aspect of treatment is the treatment of depression for patients suffering from psoriasis. Depression is installed amid the immune and hormonal imbalance, but also because of the impact that psoriasis has on public and private life. It is very important to maintain good hygiene of the skin of psoriasis patient that will have to make daily baths or showers, moisturize their skin and avoid injuries. The patient must have a healthy diet (no alcohol, coffee, spices, canned, etc), avoid stress, treat any infection and make if he can annual sea cures. Depending on the severity of the disease the doctor will prescribe: tar-based ointment; topical steroids; topical corticosteroid ointment; immunosuppressive agents; ultraviolet light treatment; PUVA (ultraviolet therapy combined with topical application of a cream); skin growth inhibitors; spa treatment.
Psoriasis is not a direct threat to the life, but rather to its quality. Regardless of what stage or form of the disease, the patient wears the stigma of "leper" and he is outlawed by the world. Healthy individuals are shying away from contact with a patient with psoriasis - as this has a very strong impact on his social life, professional and emotional, in some cases even leading to suicide (5% of those affected).
It is more common among white people and less frequent at people of color or Asian. Men and women are affected equally, but at women it may occur earlier. It can occur at any age, even in the first months of life, but usually occurs between the second and third decade of life. Statistics indicate the age of 28 years as the most common to trigger the first episode. It is a chronic disease and can last several years, sometimes a lifetime, with periods of remission and relapse. Its evolution is different from person to person, exacerbation being the most difficult.
