Patient's question:
I would like to ask, why do people get psoriasis? What factors or causes can lead to psoriasis? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Hello, psoriasis is known as "Tinea Corporis" in traditional Chinese medicine. The causes or etiology of psoriasis are not very clear and are relatively complex. Generally, they are related to psychological factors (such as chronic mental stress), genetic factors, immune factors, endocrine factors, and so on. According to traditional Chinese medicine, it is usually caused by internal blood heat, blood stasis, blood dryness, and other etiologies. The occurrence of this disease in people is related to these factors. Psoriasis is a stubborn skin disease. The initial symptoms are papular or drop-shaped, with scales on the surface. Removing the scales reveals a transparent film, and scraping off the scales leaves needle-point bleeding as a characteristic. It is recommended to adopt standardized and scientific treatment methods, which can include traditional Chinese medicine treatment, cooling blood, promoting blood circulation, dredging meridians, and detoxifying. In daily diet, avoid spicy foods, seafood, and avoid mutton and beef.
