psoriasis is not much different between men and women, whether it is a baby shortly after birth or an elderly person, it may be affected. The following groups of people need special attention in the onset of psoriasis:
in childhood
Generally speaking, psoriasis is relatively rare in infants and young children, but it is more common in adolescence.
The occurrence of psoriasis in children may be related to pharynx tonsil infection, and most of them are spotted, which means that there are scattered spots on the body. The treatment of psoriasis like
emphasizes mild, stimulating drugs and antibiotics. In particular, it is recommended that penicillin treatment can even make the skin lesions of the children gradually subsided, and can not recur in the following years and decades, and even many patients only have transient psoriasis manifestations in adolescence and never reappear. .
Because of the peculiarities of the skin structure of children, the treatment is not exactly the same as that of adults. Principles: Avoid possible inducing and aggravating factors; regular and long-term use of emollients; use phototherapy or systemic medication.
Psoriasis during pregnancy
Pregnancy has a tendency to aggravate psoriasis, but there are also a small number of patients with signs of relief during pregnancy, so patients with psoriasis can become pregnant after the disease is controlled.
However, it should be noted that before pregnancy, many drugs for psoriasis will affect the normal growth and development of the fetus, such as the use of high-dose hormone ointments or tretinoin ointments, etc., so it is generally required to use the above-mentioned drugs for treatment Can't get pregnant, need to stop taking medicine for at least a few months to six months to get pregnant.
Psoriasis itself does not have much effect on the fetus, but some drugs used during pregnancy may affect the normal growth and development of the fetus. Therefore, care should be taken to avoid drug abuse during pregnancy.
If you are pregnant with psoriasis and feel itching and intolerable, you can use traditional Chinese medicine bath prescription with less side effects to stop itching, first control the condition of psoriasis, and wait until the fetus is born before comprehensive treatment of psoriasis.
Psoriasis of reproductive age
psoriasis mostly occurs before the age of 40, so if both or one of the couples have psoriasis, can they become pregnant?
At present, there is no method for prenatal diagnosis of psoriasis in the fetuses of pregnant women for psoriasis, which means that the incidence of children of psoriasis patients cannot be accurately predicted.
Therefore, patients with psoriasis should fully understand the genetic knowledge of psoriasis when they want to become pregnant, weigh the pros and cons from the perspective of eugenics, and finally make their own choices. After
patients become pregnant, psoriasis may not change, but it can also be relieved or worsened.
Among them, the skin lesions do not change in the majority, and the relief is far more than the aggravated. Remission or aggravation of skin lesions usually occurs within 3 to 6 months after pregnancy. After delivery, the skin lesions can also show no change, relief and aggravation. Among them, the unchanged ones still account for a large proportion, while the aggravated ones are obviously more than the relieved ones.
Therefore, it can be said that the changes in psoriasis during pregnancy are generally relieved more than worsened; on the contrary, after delivery, the skin lesions are worsened than relieved. However, there are also a small number of patients who have irregularities in when their skin lesions get worse during pregnancy and before and after delivery. The reasons for these differences in
are not yet fully understood. But it is generally believed that it may be related to endocrine factors. Some people believe that it may be caused by abnormal changes in the patient's immune system. A small number of patients have worsened skin lesions before and after menstruation, which is thought to be related to changes in the content of estrogen and progesterone.
Psoriasis in the elderly
Psoriasis can occur in the elderly, or psoriasis skin lesions accompany us into the old age, so the elderly psoriasis is more common.
Because the physiological function of the elderly is constantly deteriorating, the ability to metabolize drugs is decreasing, and the elderly may be accompanied by more diseases at the same time, and there are more opportunities to use other drugs at the same time. Therefore, treatment of elderly patients with psoriasis should be more important in treatment. Comprehensive consideration should be taken to prevent the simultaneous application of several drugs from causing damage to the elderly. It is necessary to analyze whether the elderly are associated with related diseases, and to clarify the medication history. Itching caused by dryness is a common symptom in elderly patients, scratching induces new rashes, and elderly scalp psoriasis is difficult to treat due to the inconvenience of self-application. In addition, the psychological counseling and management of elderly patients with psoriasis is particularly important.
