Autumn and winter are the seasons of high incidence of psoriasis. It is understood that psoriasis is a chronic recurrent inflammatory skin disease, although it is not fatal, but because the whole body can be ill, accompanied by a sense of itching, it is easy for patients to have depression, anxiety, and inferiority. The climate in autumn and winter is dry, which is easy to cause a high incidence of psoriasis. So, in autumn and winter, how to prevent psoriasis attacks? Below, the Life Channel of China Economic Network takes you to understand.
Reduce the number of baths
Patients with psoriasis have skin itching, be sure to pay attention to care, reduce the number of washing, otherwise it will aggravate the itching. In addition to appropriately reducing the number and time of bathing in patients with pruritus, patients with pruritus should pay attention not to scrub, reduce the water temperature, and do not blanch. "Scalding" can seriously damage the sebaceous membrane on the surface of the skin of psoriasis patients, making the skin drier and the itching more severe.
Wear loose cotton clothing
In daily life, psoriasis patients should wear loose cotton intimate clothes, and do not leave chemical components such as washing liquid on the clothes, otherwise it will adversely affect the skin of psoriasis patients.
Do a good job of moisturizing skin care
For patients with psoriasis, the skin is a very sensitive organ. In winter, psoriasis patients should not use toiletries that are too alkaline when bathing, and pay more attention to the daily use of moisturizers after bathing and in daily life.
Do not eat spicy and irritating foods
A reasonable nutritious diet is the basis for improving skin health, and the diet should be based on easily digestible foods rich in protein and vitamins. It is recommended to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid eating a lot of fried foods, seafood foods such as shrimp and crabs, and spicy and sour foods.
Prevention of respiratory diseases
Colds and upper respiratory tract infections often induce or worsen psoriasis. Therefore, the prevention of colds and upper respiratory tract infections is the most important thing for patients with winter psoriasis. Drink more water, wash your hands frequently, go to public places less, strengthen exercise, and enhance resistance.
Avoid mental stress
Lack of sleep, excessive nervousness, emotional instability, or excessive work stress can contribute to the recurrence or exacerbation of psoriasis. Therefore, patients should learn to regulate their mood, maintain adequate sleep and a good mental state.
