Study on the Correlation between Morphology and Distribution of Common Psoriasis Lesions
1Department of Dermatology, Air Force Medical Center, PLA, Beijing 100142, China.
Objective:
Through the analysis of the morphological distribution of psoriasis lesions, we can study the relationship between psoriasis lesions and age, gender, and course of disease and dialectically look at the location of lesion morphology and the impact of course of disease on it, so as to provide more basis for the treatment of psoriasis.
Method:
Through a questionnaire survey of 512 patients in the dermatology clinic of a well-known traditional Chinese medicine hospital in Jiangsu Province, their symptoms met the diagnostic criteria of psoriasis in Chinese clinical dermatology. The current situation of psoriasis was analyzed by literature analysis, and the collected data were analyzed by general mean analysis, analysis of variance, and descriptive analysis.
Result:
There were some differences in the proportion of male to female in 512 patients. It is possible to conclude that male incidence rate is higher than that of women. It can be deduced from bad habits such as heavy drinking and smoking in male life. Bad habits can reduce male immunity and cause disease. The distribution of skin lesions in different parts shows that the skin is more affected by the outside world, which leads to the repeated attack of psoriasis. The incidence of chest, scalp, and upper arm is also relatively high. There have been similar demonstrations in relevant medical data, which may be related to the vascular density in them. Some substances that induce psoriasis in the dense blood vessels are easy to accumulate here, leading to the pathogenic bacteria to induce the onset of psoriasis.
Conclusion:
By studying the distribution of psoriasis lesions and the correlation between lesions, gender, and disease course, we can improve the dialectical treatment of psoriasis, which has reference significance, and provide a new thinking direction for the treatment system theory of psoriasis.

Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
