What is psoriasis?
These dermatological violations reduce the health of qualitative patients, which have a detrimental effect on metabolism (processes related to metabolism) in the body, increase the symptoms of cardiovascular disease and contribute to depression.

Cause
- 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.
- Violations of hormone background in the body (endocrine theory).Recovery (regenerative) tissue (skin) recovery is lost due to improper endocrine system operation.
- 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.
- 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).
- 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).

- irrational diet;
- abuse of psychoactive substances (alcohol, nicotine, etc.);
