MKB-10 code

Detailed description of all types of psoriasis, their characteristics given in the international classification of Disease-ICD 10 (10th review version).Orlining Dermatological Disease is reduced to the release of that type:

1. Simple (rough or bad).It is considered to be one of the most common among all psoriasis-earniasis is approaching 80-90%.We recognize by its manifestations: white (gray) or white silver on healthy skin, thickening, skin -inflammatory areas, dry and peeling.The skin area under such layers is very sensitive to injury, subject to bleeding (containing many smallest vessels), which is why they are called psoriatic plaques.Increasing size, plaques can join each other, turning into one place - "paraffin lake".This place can spread throughout the body.There are simple psoriasis on the head, including the furry part, along the border where hair growth ends.After a time (several months) from the "lake", they tend to disappear, leaving the skin bleached.MKB Code 10 - L40.0.
2. Point (drop -shaped, stopped).This type of psoriasis has a slightly lower than abusive.Sudden manifestations - The facts exist in it - in patients, a variety of small dry rashes on the skin have round configurations (or drop forms), purple tones or redness.Code - L4.
3. Pustulenia.It bears its name due to the appearance of pustules-losses that occur on healthy skin surface and contains exudate (liquid, sterile in composition, is transdyular).Code-L1-3, L40.82.
4. Nail plate psoriasis.The arm and leg plate is subject to damage - they become fragile, lose natural colors, thicken and delax.Also, the consequences of the disease may lose nails.Treatment is complicated because of the accumulation under the dead cell plate epidermis, dirt and dust.Be careful, meticulous and long -term care of the nail plate is only necessary.Code - L86.
5. Artropatik.It is a "beginner" of the emergence of inflammation in the joints, as well as in connective tissue.First of all, the small joints are more often exposed to it - the finger or leg falanx is swollen.Exacerbation occurs in cold (cold), raw weather.Such psoriasis is full of severe diseases and even the establishment of a disability to the patient.Code - L5+.
6. Instead or bending surface psoriasis.Externally shown in a smooth, without peeling (or little) spots -inflamed spots (with redness) skin.Localization -in places of skin folds (in the armpits, in the thighs, places in the inner surface of the thighs, and more).Code-L83-4.
7. Erythrodermic.This type of psoriasis is characterized by the skin inflammation of the whole body, peeling it off.Often the result of severe forms of coarse psoriasis, or excessive psychological stress, moves cold.Sometimes it occurs in response to alcohol taken.Code - L85.
8. Another psoriasis - this species covers all other unusual options for leakage.Code - L8.

Cause

The basis of psoriasis can be a different factor in the framework of the theory of this type of dermatosis.

1. Genetics.There is no need to prove whether psoriasis is different from a genetic tendency.The genetic theory of psoriasis speaks only about the increased risk of manifestation of dermatosis as a result of hereditary factors in humans.
2. Violations of hormone background in the body (endocrine theory).Recovery (regenerative) tissue (skin) recovery is lost due to improper endocrine system operation.
3. As a result of infection.During the treatment of infectious diseases, complications can begin, reflected directly on the skin (infectious theory) - loss of skin Ability to function normally after exposure to microorganisms, fungi, etc.
4. Violation of metabolism (metabolic function) of the body: Skin disease is initiated by the inadequate work of the circulatory system, for example, lymphocytes are too concentrated in certain areas of the skin.This also includes diabetes mellitus - thus metabolic processes is significantly concluded.(Exchange Theory).
5. Immunity.Insufficient work of the immune system leads to proper reaction to the body to health threats.This is indicated by the skin reaction as well.(Immune theory).

Some reasons can be associated with the characteristics of individual life:

• irrational diet;
• abuse of psychoactive substances (alcohol, nicotine, etc.);
• improper use of drugs;
• excessive mental stress, stress;
• Sharp changes in climate conditions.

Symptoms and stages

Symptoms of psoriasis vary depending on the level of the disease itself.There are 4 levels of psoriasis.

Beginning.

In the early stages, in the hands, stomach, back or other parts, individual psoriatic manifestations can be seen: small papules, pink, with excellent and smooth surfaces.This is a manifestation of point, over time there is an increase in the number and site of their location.

Progressive.

At this stage, peeling the skin is added to the symptoms - initially in the middle of the papules, which gradually grows, forming a rose -colored corolla.The form of the area is damaged by the disease gradually obtaining different configurations (symptoms of vagina).Itching is observed.The stage period is about 2 weeks.

Stand.

In terms of duration, it does not have a certain time after time it can move to the next level (4th, regression), or return to previous (3rd, advanced).New elements on the skin stopping, the growth of the existing plaque slows down, stopping altogether.

Regressive.

The level of completing the disease cycle - peeling into "what to do", the plaque becomes flat, losing their bumps.Objects, as a rule, do not atrophy and do not form scars.Although the area is subject to the loss of their pigment (bleach), after the time it passes.

On children

The occurrence of children's disease is observed in rare cases.But at the same time, the psoriasis course continues in a complex form: the skin is quickly covered with bubbles, almost the entire surface of the skin.The bubble contains fluid (first - transparent, then it is cloudy), the test shows the presence of pathological cells.Therapeutic intervention must be anxiety.

In adults

Symptoms and treatment in adults are based on the characteristics of the disease.The patient is prescribed:

• general state of physical weakness;
• feelings do not exceed power and fatigue;
• Depression and experience of depression.

Certain symptoms depend on the type of psoriasis and its localization on the skin.For example, in the feet, manifestations of psoriasis are more often observed in the knees, feet.With complications, symptoms are enhanced by limb edema.

Treatment

Psoriasis drug treatment is based on several approaches, depending on the characteristics of the disease.Means used to normalize immunity (immunosuppressant method);agents that control metabolism and reduce manifestations of inflammation (corticosteroids);Means that it reduces the function of cell divider and prevents the tumor (cytostatic).As a direct exposure to the affected area, ointment from psoriasis on the skin can be used.It is designed to address the dryness of the skin and the effect of "tightening".A special place is occupied by non -hormone ointments that affect the focus of the inflammation, but does not lead to increased hormone background.

Ointment from psoriasis:

Influence Non -Hormonal:

• Zinc - is an antiseptic, a way to dry and remove the inflammatory process;
• Salicyl - affects the best separation of the skin keratinized layer;

Hormone exposure

Therapeutic effects are given faster than ointment (all intended to suppress itching, inflammation, allergies), but there are side effects.Patients are often offered ointments that eliminate psoriatic symptoms.Examples are the drug that is maintained - one of its components is used during the day, the other at night.Ointment includes natural components (lichen, ground mushrooms, rhubarb, thorns).In view of the treatment of hydrogen peroxide psoriasis, reviews are distributed depending on the therapeutic effects obtained.It in turn depends on the severity and type of infringement of the skin itself.Apply peroxide in 2 options:

• external (compress, lotion affected area);
• Internally (set of peroxide is added to a few tablespoons of water, drunk half an hour before eating, also dig a few drops on the nose).

The therapeutic effects of hydrogen peroxide are effective in the first stage of psoriasis and if the disease is not launched.
