Psoriasis is a chronic, sexual, and serious disease that involves many factors such as immunity, genetics, psychology, and the environment. After the first episode of the disease, about 30% of patients can be controlled, but it may also cause skin lesions to reverse due to chemical stimulation, poor diet, and emotional failure. Therefore, it is recommended that patients establish confidence in life, maintain a reasonable living state, and try to avoid triggers to reduce psoriasis attacks.
In addition, psoriasis grows in different parts, so proper attention should be paid to the care method.
Scalp psoriasis care.
Shampoo your hair gently to avoid scratching plaques and prevent scalp damage and infection. In terms of shampoo selection, in addition to the medicated shampoo recommended by the doctor, it is not recommended to prepare Chinese herbal shampoo to avoid aggravating the condition.
Dry the back of the ears and the front and back of the earlobes thoroughly, avoid using the hottest setting of the hair dryer, and the air outlet is 30 cm away from the scalp to reduce irritation to the scalp. In addition, chemicals such as perms and hair dyes may irritate the scalp and aggravate the condition, so it should be avoided as much as possible.
Hand psoriasis care.
Psoriasis lesions on the hands require special attention to moisturization, use skin creams and other protection**. Try to avoid contact with highly irritating chemicals such as dish soap and shampoo to reduce irritation to your hands.
If psoriasis affects the joints of the hands, you should be alert to the possibility of articular psoriasis and seek medical attention in time.
Leg psoriasis care.
Standing for long periods of time or high temperatures may cause congestion of blood vessels in the legs, putting more pressure on the epidermis and worsening plaque inflammation. Therefore, proper rest and prolonged standing are required.
If the epidermis becomes thinner, varicose veins in the legs will be more noticeable and require special protection**. The ankle may also be swollen at night and requires increased warmth and care.
Foot psoriasis care.
The stratum corneum of the feet is thick, and it is easy to dry and chapp. You can soak your feet in warm water to soften the scales, and then apply a cream to moisturize**. Or apply some non-irritating emollients every night to moisten and relieve chapping. If the blood circulation in the legs is poor or the feet are prone to cold, it is even more important to keep warm.
In conclusion, different approaches to psoriasis are required for different parts of the body. In addition to daily care, care is also needed to avoid overstimulation and injury**, and to seek medical attention promptly and according to the doctor's instructions**. Psoriasis care.
