Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Psoriasis can have a negative impact on the interactions and relationships between patients and the opposite sex, with women being affected far more than men, as the sociocultural system places higher demands on women's appearance and image. When skin damage is located on exposed parts of the body, the patient's anxiety often intensifies due to the possibility of others showing sympathy, pity, disgust, or fear, and their self-confidence may also be. It also affects the patient's rest and work, as well as their mood. Psoriasis is not a life-threatening disease, but it has a significant impact on our lives, work, and studies. It inflicts a heavy blow on our psychological resilience. Although it does not directly threaten human life, psoriasis poses a serious threat to our skin, disrupting our normal work and daily lives, and causing severe psychological distress to patients, damaging their self-confidence and affecting their mood. When psoriasis lesions appear during periods of emotional anxiety, the condition often worsens, and psychological factors such as stress and emotional disturbances can stimulate the release of substance P from skin sensory nerves, promoting keratinocyte proliferation and cell growth, while also exacerbating and triggering psoriasis through immune system abnormalities.
