How does psoriasis begin?
The first signs of psoriasis
The first symptoms of psoriasis- This is a manifestation on the surface of the skin, small red spots that itch.It happens that you can’t see spots, but itching is present.Usually it manifests itself after you ate something wrong.And more specifically products that are prohibited by diet or not desirable for skin psoriasis.The red spot usually rises above the skin level, has a red rim, most likely has a silver or yellowish plaque, crust.
Most likely you or your loved one, the cause of the symptoms of psoriasis disease, was stress, undergoing surgery or transitional age.Very often in such cases, psoriasis manifests itself.

Favorite places on which psoriasis appears, these are joints: elbows, knees on the phalanxes of the fingers and legs, the scalp, a variety of folds on the body.For example, behind the ears and in the auricle.Psoriasis also likes to appear on the lower back, if he got out there, then most likely you have problems with the spine in this place.
There is rarely a shape of ladown-landing psoriasis, with it the defeat occurs only on the palms and feet.Well, in general, spots pour out absolutely anywhere in your body, including in intimate places.Another sign of psoriasis is the damage to the nail plates.In a small dot, or the nail is laying, sometimes it has an oil stain under the nail, this form is called - psoriasis of nails.
Red spots, like the crust, thicken over time, expanding in size, clasping more and more healthy skin.In places of damage, the skin becomes dry, due to the lack of protective skin fat.Due to dryness and itching, cracks from small to deep ones may appear.As a result, the spots become painful.
Of my observations, people sick with psoriasis, have such a sign - they often suffer from insomnia, at best, usually late to bed in the region of the morning.
What are the symptoms of psoriasis of the scalp?
In the beginning there are signs of dandruff and pinkish spots, but this is not dandruff.Active death of the scalp cells, this is the first sign of the manifestation of the disease.Over time, psoriasis captures the entire hairy part of the head and the so -called psoriatic crown appears, in the common people of psoriasis.
In the next stage of psoriasis:
- Brokes, scales thicken
- The spots are blushing rising above the level of healthy skin, they can become crimson
- The head begins to constantly itch, and the skin becomes dry
- Symptoms proceed about the same as on the body, only with the exception that the disease covers the entire hairy part of the head, and practically does not go beyond it.On the treatment of the form of psoriasis on the head.
