What is psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the skin and causes red, inflamed patches, often with silvery scales. These spots can appear on any part of the body, but are most often found on the elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back.

Causes of psoriasis
Psoriasis occurs due to a malfunction of the immune system, which leads to accelerated growth of skin cells. Causes of this disorder may include genetic factors, stress, infections, skin damage, and exposure to certain medications.

Types of psoriasis

Plaque psoriasis is the most common type, characterized by large red spots covered with silvery scales.
Gut-shaped psoriasis - appears as small tear-shaped spots on the skin, often after an infection.
Inverse Psoriasis – Affects the skin in folds such as the armpits, groin area and under the breasts, causing smooth red patches.
Pustular psoriasis is characterized by the formation of white pustules (pustules) on red skin.
Erythrodermic psoriasis is a rare but severe form that causes redness and peeling of the skin over large areas of the body.

Symptoms
Symptoms of psoriasis include itching, soreness, dryness, cracked skin, and scaling. Affected areas can be painful and cause significant discomfort, especially depending on the type of psoriasis.

Diagnostics
Psoriasis is diagnosed through a skin examination by a dermatologist. In some cases, it may be necessary to take a biopsy - a sample of the skin for laboratory analysis - to rule out other diseases with similar symptoms.

Treatment of psoriasis with naphthalan

Treatment of psoriasis with naphthalene is effective due to its unique properties.
Naphthalene oil reduces inflammation, relieves itching and redness, which often accompany psoriasis. It stimulates skin regeneration, slowing down excessive cell growth, which is the main cause of plaques.
Regular procedures using naphthalene usually include applications, ointments, oils, and baths with a solution of petroleum, which are used under the supervision of a doctor.
Naphthalan also has a desensitizing effect, which helps reduce allergic reactions often associated with psoriasis. In many cases, this method allows you to achieve long-term remission, especially if combined with other types of therapy, such as phototherapy or drug treatment.
Overall, naphthalene therapy offers an effective and comprehensive approach to psoriasis treatment, improving patients' quality of life and reducing disease symptoms.
