In most of his manifestations of psoriasis affects only the upper layer of the skin, but there are also complicated forms of the disease. In the latter case, in the pathological process involves the bone and connective tissue, as well as the hairy surface of the head.

As the disease progresses develops localized inflammation characterized by redness of the skin lesion, excessive formation of tiny capillary vessels in the subcutaneous layer, chronic inflammation and desquamation of surface epithelium.

Skin afflicted with psoriasis, has the form of gray, silver or purple spots, which rise to 1-2 mm above the general level of the epithelial tissues. It papules, skin covering one solid spot, or they spread throughout the body multiple inclusions drop-shaped.

Massive lesions of the epithelium to the penetration of the pathological process in the deeper tissues are called the medical term - "Paraffin lake", as part of which there is an excessive proliferation of macrophages, lymphocytes protective cells, and keratinocytes, epidermis.

types of diseases

Treatment of psoriasis with the help of public money while at home - is a challenge, as a dermatological disorder is a chronic and completely incurable.

Plain	The most common type of dermatological diseases. Simple, else it is called blyashkovidny, psoriasis vulgaris, is diagnosed in 90% of patients asked for help with signs paraffin formation lakes.

A distinctive feature of arthropathic type of disease is that the primary focus is not specific inflammation - a joint surface of the skin. As the progress of the disease, there is a loss of deeper tissues. In the end, the inflammatory process extends to the autoimmune etiology of bone and connective tissue. In humans, there are all signs of a patient of arthritis, the effects of which is a violation of the mobility of the limbs, loss of flexion function, the acquisition of disability.
flexion	A distinctive feature of this type of psoriasis is that its location - it's only areas of the epidermis, where there are creases. Zones of defeat is the groin, inner thighs, lower abdomen in people with excess body weight, skin surface under the breasts in women.
