The Most Inaccurate Statements About Psoriasis I’ve Heard
当谈到对牛皮癣来说,有时人们会说出来的事情,有时他们只是粗鲁。无论意图如何,它们通常都是误导的。这是我听说过牛皮癣的九个最不准确的陈述,以及一些事实来备份真相。
牛皮癣只是皮肤干燥。
这是我最常见的不准确声明,我从我周围的那些不熟悉的牛皮癣。事实是牛皮癣比皮肤更深。它是由免疫系统过度反应的反应造成的affects皮肤。与所有自身免疫疾病一样,牛皮癣涉及不同的生物系统,以具有挑战性的方式影响整个身体,并且通常linked to other diseases。
牛皮癣是一种美容问题。
Merriam-Webster描述这个术语cosmetic作为“视觉上有吸引力”,“为了出现外观,”或“纠正缺陷”。虽然牛皮癣是一个非常可见的问题,但它不是化妆品。牛皮癣可以增加其他健康状况的风险,例如抑郁症,糖尿病,癌症,心血管疾病和关节炎。它远远超过一个化妆品问题。
Psoriasis is eczema.
Psoriasis andeczema有许多相似之处。皮肤状况均为遗传,在某些时候产生爆发,并分享常见的触发器和症状。它们也由产生炎症的过度活跃的免疫系统引起。但是,这发生了不同的方式。用牛皮癣,免疫系统信号表明皮肤细胞增长速度比它们应该更快。湿疹有时会在自然界中更过敏。牛皮癣和湿疹可以同时为一个人同时存在,但它们是无关的。
你需要更多地洗澡。
牛皮癣与坏卫生无关。如果有的话,通过干燥我们的皮肤可能会产生不利影响。我们采取了多少淋浴或浴室,或者我们是多么清洁并不重要。如果有人受到牛皮癣的影响,它将保持存在,直到发现有效的治疗来调节免疫系统并减缓过度反应性皮肤细胞。
牛皮癣有一种治愈。
牛皮癣没有治愈。I repeat.牛皮癣没有治愈。There are manyeffective treatments这有助于调节免疫系统的不同功能,从而改善症状。但是,根本没有治愈。
You aren’t drinking enough water.
People automatically associate dry skin with dehydration and will suggest that you drink more water. Increasing one’s water intake will have a positive effect on the body, but hydrating alone will not completely rid a person of psoriasis.
它为我工作,它应该为你工作。
对免疫系统在引起牛皮癣方面的作用存在很大的困惑。理解特定的蛋白质信号激活对于靶向正确的处理至关重要。
Psoriasis skin is ugly.
多年前,经过一位同事注意到我手上出现的干燥皮肤的斑块,他实际上对我说:“你是个漂亮的女孩,但你的皮肤是丑陋的。”我不认为我的皮肤丑陋。它不同,独特,是的,有时候有点不舒服。丑陋不是一个形容词,我喜欢用来描述我的病情。美在旁观者的眼中。有人会说我看起来像一个美丽的猎豹或斑点蝴蝶。
黑人几乎没有得到牛皮癣。
根据国家牛皮癣基金会的统计数据,高加索人的牛皮癣患病率为2.5%,而非洲裔美国人为1.3%。然而,牛皮癣的影响是白人和黑色的相同百分比。差异是,对于颜色人民来说,疾病的疾病是不归因的或误诊。
阿丽莎挤桥自7你们已经处理牛皮癣ars old after a bad case of chicken pox triggered her disease to spread on over 90% of her body. For years she hid in shame afraid of what people would think of such a visible disease. She has suffered from depression, anxiety, and panic attacks due to psoriasis. Years ago Alisha wrote a letter entitled “My Suicide Letter.” The letter was not about actually killing herself but killing parts of her like low self-esteem, fear, and shame so she could truly live to her fullest potential. This proclamation catapulted her into psoriasis and patient advocacy. Following this letter she created a blog entitled Being Me In My Own Skin where she gives intimate details of what it’s like to live with psoriasis. Alisha is a community ambassador for the National Psoriasis Foundation and has served her community in countless ways to help give a better understanding of what’s it’s like to live with psoriasis.
