Many times, there is a tendency to progression of the disease over time (especially when they are in the absence of the treatment), to make, and the awakening of the exacerbation, the increase of the square of the failure and the commitment to new areas of the skin. Some patients may experience a continuous stream, as a disease of spontaneous remission, or even a continuous progression. Many times, they are taken by surprise by the nails in the hands and/or feet (psoriatic onihodistrofiya). With the defeat of nails you can be isolated, observed, that in the absence of skin lesions. Psoriasis can also cause inflammation the defeat of the joints, called psoriatic arthropathy or psoriatic arthritis. A 10% to 15% of patients with psoriasis also suffer psoriatic arthritis.
There are a wide variety of tools and methods for the treatment of psoriasis, but due to the chronic, recurrent nature of the disease itself, and a lot of the times, according to the trend of development in the course of time, the psoriasis is a very difficult to treat the disease. A complete cure is not possible at this time (that is, a psoriasis, which is incurable when the current level of development of medical science), but there may be more-or-less-long, more-or-less complete remission, including a one-time purchase).

More details about the cause of psoriasis
The impaired barrier function of the skin as possible, and in particular, to a mechanical release or by irritation, friction, and pressure on the skin, the overuse of soap and cleaning supplies-chemicals contact with solvents, household cleaning products, alcohol, mud, to the existence in infected lesions of the skin or allergy of the skin, and excessive dryness of the skin will also play a key role in the development of psoriasis.
Psoriasis is a large part of idiosyncratic disease of the skin. The experience of the majority of the patients, and he says that psoriasis can be as a matter of course, in order to improve, or worsen, for no apparent reason. A study of the various factors that are associated with the occurrence of, development of, or worsening of psoriasis they tend to be based on the study of tiny, usually a hospital (not the clinic), that is to say, considerably heavier, and the groups of the patients of psoriasis. Thus, these studies tend to suffer from a lack of coverage of the sample size and the inability to identify a causal relationship in the presence of a large number of other (including as yet unknown or unidentified) factors that may affect the nature of the flow of psoriasis. In many cases, different studies have detected conflicting findings. However, the first signs of psoriasis often appear when you are suffering from stress (physical or mental), injury of the skin on the areas of the first appearance of psoriatic rash and/or migrated by streptococcal infections. The conditions, according to several sources, and this may have contributed to the deterioration and decay of the current in the psoriasis includes acute and chronic infection, stress, weather changes, and the changing of the seasons. Some of the drugs, according to a number of sources that are associated with the decay of the current in the psoriasis or it can lead to the main event.

The most favorable conditions for the development of psoriasis, and therefore, to the contrary, the most favourable conditions for the development of a fungal infection is stopped (a so-called "athlete's foot") or in the armpit, in the groin area. For the development of fungal infections, the more favorable the wet, wet to the skin, for psoriasis, and vice-versa in dry season. He slid it in to the skin, the infection causes a dry (non-exudative) is a chronic inflammation, which, in turn, causes the symptoms typical for psoriasis, such as itching, and an increase in the proliferation of the cells of the skin. This, in turn, leads to a further increase of the dryness of the skin, as a result of inflammation, and increased proliferation of keratinocytes, and due to the fact that the infecting your body uses up the moisture, which otherwise would be used to hydrate the skin.

Options for psoriasis include common, simple (ordinary), or, otherwise, the plaque psoriasis (psoriasis vulgaris, plaque psoriasis), пhavewiththaveлезnth psoriasis (pustular psoriasis), drop-by-drop, on the way to or from psoriasis (guttate psoriasis), psoriasis, bendtsprucens surfaces (flexural psoriasis). The following is a brief description of each of the assortment of the psoriasis, in conjunction with the code of the International classification of diseases (ICD-10).
Plaque psoriasis, or for ordinary psoriasis, psoriasis vulgaris, simple psoriasis (psoriasis vulgaris) is the most common form of psoriasis. It is seen in 80% to 90% of all psoriasis patients.

These patches of typical injury and psoriatic arthritis is called psoriatic plaques. Пwithonрandаt- diffraction plaque have a tendency to increase in size, merging with the adjacent plate, forming a whole card, name tag ("the wax lake").
Psoriasis bendtsprucens surfaces (flexural psoriasis), or of "psoriasis, inverse" (inverse psoriasis) usually looks good, it's not flaky, or with the least amount of hull, it is not especially protruding above the surface of the skin is red, inflamed blemishes, and it was established only in the folds of the skin, and in the absence of or a minimal defeat, in other parts of the skin.

Guttate psoriasis, often for the first time, we develop or worsen after a streptococcal infections, in ordinary cases, after withtraptonкonккonвonй the pain of angina or a withtraptonкonккonвongon pharyngitis.
Пhavewiththaveлезnth psoriasis or экwithwithhaveдаtYvesnth the psoriasis is more severe skin forms of psoriasis, and it seems that it rose above the surface of the skin blisters or bullae, filled with uninfected, transparent inflammatory экwithwithhaveдаtonм (pustules). The skin above and below the surface of пhavewiththaveл, and all around them the red, hot, ontechnth, вonwithпалеnnth and havetonлщеnnth, easy-to-exfoliate. It can occur in secondary infections and пhavewiththaveл, in this case, the exudate acquires a purulent nature. Пhavewiththaveлезnth psoriasis can be limited, localized, with the most common location is the cards from the ends of the extremities (hands and feet), that is to say, in the legs and arms, this is called palmoplantaris пhavewiththaveлез (palmo-plantar pustulosis). On the other, in the most severe cases of пhavewiththaveлезnth psoriasis can be GEnеRAлandзonваnnth, with the wide spread of the пhavewiththaveл on the whole surface of the body, and the tendency towards the merging of large pustules.
Psoriasis of the nails, or psoriatandчеwithкth onihodistrofiya leads to a variety of changes in the appearance of the nails, on the fingers, hands, or feet.
