Suffering from psoriasis 10 years, the man surnamed Su (pictured) went to the temple to "cut the skin snake", which aggravated the symptoms. (Photo courtesy of Zhonghe Memorial Hospital affiliated to Kaohsiung Medical University) Director Chen Guoxun of the Department of Dermatology, Zhonghe Memorial Hospital affiliated to Kaohsiung Medical University pointed out that psoriasis is not an infectious skin disease, but a chronic inflammatory disease caused by the autoimmune system, which is easy to recur. Appearance symptoms not only seriously affect the quality of life of patients, but also make patients suffer misunderstanding and rejection.
Trichophyton is a non-infectious skin disease, which has been ruled out.
Because psoriasis is a disease that cannot be completely cured, many patients will get worse because of medication errors. Even some psoriasis patients are often misunderstood as poor hygiene habits because of desquamation, rash, plaque and other appearances, and are considered as infectious diseases, which are often excluded.
The patient, surnamed Su, was admitted to the outpatient clinic. He was very worried about his family. He looked for remedies for him everywhere, including prescriptions with unknown ingredients, smearing oil on his body, and even going to the temple to "cut snakes". The temple told him to take an iron basin with gold paper wrapped on his head, weave it into the shape of a snake, and then cut it off with a kitchen knife, but in the end he could not improve the lesion.
