Since my younger brother was diagnosed with psoriasis three years ago, I have been looking for all kinds of good methods of treatment and tried a lot of treatment. Now it has slightly improved. Can I take a bath with psoriasis? Let's get to know it.

Psoriasis can take a bath

First: Patients with psoriasis bath to bath is appropriate, not excessive scratch skin lesions, also can't use bath towel and other force rub, bath degree should be the largest not to stimulate skin lesions, patients don't feel tired, no discomfort degree. Generally, it is not suitable to take a bath immediately after meals, not when you are tired and hungry, and not when you are weak.

Second: the appropriate water temperature is also very important when bathing. Too high water temperature (above 40 ℃) will stimulate skin lesions and have adverse effects; too low water temperature (below 34 ℃) can not better soften scales and promote skin blood circulation. General water temperature should be slightly warm or slightly hot, about 35 ~ 39 ℃. The water temperature can also be selected according to the type of skin lesions, such as common progressive skin lesions, erythroderma and pustular skin lesions.

Traditional Chinese medicine bath has more action points, but it needs to be treated dialectically by traditional Chinese medicine doctors.

Skin care products such as oil that moisten the skin must be applied immediately after bathing. It is better to apply emollients within 3 minutes after bathing and drying. Hospital with 10% urea fat is a good choice, cheap, and moisturizing effect is good.
