What medicine is used abroad to treat psoriasis

One: aromatic retinoic acids: can normalize the keratinization process, regulate epidermal proliferation and differentiation, and regulate inflammatory response and immune response. It can be used for pustular psoriasis, arthrosis psoriasis, erythroderma psoriasis and other psoriasis vulgaris. The effects of etretinate and acitretin are the best. For usage and side effects, please refer to the general introduction. Combined with PUVA (photochemical therapy) (re PUVA) can improve the curative effect and reduce the total amount of PUVA treatment. It can also be combined with immunosuppressant.

Second: corticosteroids: only erythroderma or arthrosis and generalized pustular psoriasis can be used when other treatments are ineffective.

Third: immunosuppressants: methotrexate and hydroxyurea. These drugs are effective when used, but they are easy to relapse after withdrawal, and have great side effects, such as leukopenia, gastrointestinal reaction, liver and kidney damage, and can induce malignant tumor. For erythroderma type, generalized pustular type, arthrosis type and severe psoriasis vulgaris with poor effect of other therapies, it can be considered.

matters needing attention

If patients with psoriasis usually do not pay attention to prevention and care, once the skin lesions spread, it will bring extremely serious damage to their health. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to daily diet health and ensure adequate sleep every day. Strengthening physical exercise is also beneficial to the recovery of the disease.
