How does psoriasis need to cooperate with treatment
summary
The correct treatment of psoriasis is very important. When I first fell ill, I took a lot of wrong measures. Later, I realized the importance of regular treatment. Fortunately, it was not very late. Let's see how psoriasis needs to be treated.
How does psoriasis need to cooperate with treatment
One: local medication. First, corticosteroid ointment is used to treat mild to moderate psoriasis. Starting from the low dose, long-term use of high-dose corticosteroids will lead to skin thinning and weakened effect, so it is only used in the attack, and the drug will be stopped after control.
Second: light. Short term exposure to ultraviolet light in the sun can kill the active T cells in the skin, thus slowing down the growth of skin cells, but long-term exposure to the sun will worsen the symptoms. In addition, it can also be treated with ultraviolet lamp, or ultraviolet lamp combined with coal tar and other drugs. In addition, there are excimer lasers. All of these treatments can cause redness, itching and dryness, which can be alleviated with cream.
Third: oral or injection of drugs, for the treatment of severe psoriasis or psoriasis resistant to other therapies. Retinoids is a class of vitamin A-related substances, which can reduce the production of skin cells. It is used in severe psoriasis, which is ineffective in other treatments, but the symptoms reappear after withdrawal. The side effects are inflammation of the lips and hair loss. Acitretin can lead to serious birth defects, and women who take it cannot conceive for at least three years.
