Types of psoriasis
According to statistics, 90% of patients suffer from psoriasis vulgaris, which is also often called plaque psoriasis. If patient keeps a healthy lifestyle, this kind of the disease is quite effectively cured by climatotherapy and natural medical products. The second type is psoriasis of flexor surfaces that affects skin folds and becomes aggravated because of injuries, friction, and sweat production.
Pyodermatitis, or mycotic infection, is a typical complication of this condition. Pustular psoriasis is one of the most serious types the disease. This form affects mostly shins and forearms. Pustules, usually full of transparent exudate, are often damaged, resulting in secondary infection, and transparent exudate turns to a festering liquid. Nails psoriasis affects finger and toenails by changing the appearance of nail plate and even causes loosening of the nail. Psoriatic arthritis is a form of psoriasis that affects joints and connective tissue. It can occur in small joints of fingers and toes, knee and thigh joints. 15% of those with psoriasis suffer from psoriatic arthritis. Frequent complications of this type are bedsores and pneumonia.
Skin cells of healthy people exfoliate once a month. Dead upper layer is replaced by new underlying cells. However, in the skin of people with psoriasis this process goes on too fast. New cells reach the skin's surface in few days instead of few weeks. As a result, the skin becomes thicker and inflamed producing so called psoriatic plaques.
In the 80s doctor Carlos Miyares Cao, doctor and specialist in Pharmacology and Gynaecology, professor of Medicine at the University of Havana, while studying the metabolism of placenta, detected a substance that if accumulated in skin cells, prevents fast production of keratinocytes (cells of the upper skin layer). This explains the fact that 70% of women with psoriasis do not have any symptoms or signs of the disease during pregnancy.
