[인사이트] Reporter Kang Yoo-jeong = You may have heard the word’chronic’ often while living with chronic gastritis and chronic fatigue.
The word chronic is a dictionary meaning that hardens like a habit and is not easily cured or healed easily.
In other words, it means that the disease continues or that the disease that has occurred does not go away well.
In particular, in the case of skin diseases, it refers to the case that the disease that caused the onset does not disappear from the skin because it reoccurs in another part even if it disappears over time.
If so, why does skin disease keep appearing and making it painful?

First of all, in order to find out this, it is necessary to consider what belongs to the category of chronic skin diseases.
According to Suwon Dermatology,’acne’ is the most frequently visited skin disease during oriental medical treatment.
In addition, atopy, seborrheic dermatitis, cold herpes, psoriasis, warts, follicular keratosis, cholinergic cold urticaria, shingles and redness are also representative chronic skin diseases.
The reason for this chronic disease on the skin is similar to the cause of machine failure.
It appears when there is a faulty malfunction in a certain area or the function is not fully performed.

Like this, skin diseases are basically caused by malfunctioning skin functions.
Our skin protects itself and does several activities to keep it active. Sebum and dead skin cells that we are familiar with are typical.
There are many people who call sebum as’dog oil’ and think that it is bad, but in reality, it acts as a natural moisturizing film on the skin and protects the skin from external ultraviolet rays or dust.
Also, dead skin cells can be thought of as dirty because they are peeled off in the bathroom.
This kind of keratin must be produced and discharged to the outside to generate new healthy cells, so that keratin is also one of the important skin protective functions.

In addition, the skin plays an important role such as maintaining body temperature and immune function. Chronic skin diseases appear due to errors in the role of these skin functions.
Let’s take acne with acne disease. Acne is the area of the skin dermis where a lump of sebum is formed and bulges up to the epidermis, and when an inflammatory reaction occurs there, the skin festers and causes pain.
These acne, during the skin function, the secretion of sebum is excessive and the exfoliation of dead skin cells is not good, blocking the pores and sebum cannot be discharged out of the pores and accumulates and becomes a cotton cloth.
In other words, comedones are caused by abnormal functions of sebum and keratin among skin functions.

On the other hand, in the case of atopy, an inflammatory reaction appears on the skin, and inflammation appears on the skin even in a normal environment. It is caused by abnormal immune function among skin functions.
The immune function damages the epidermis due to excessive immunity and activation. That is, it appears due to an abnormal immune response.

In addition, psoriasis is also one of the representative autoimmune diseases.
Psoriasis occurs due to excessive cell regeneration, and the growth cycle of skin cells is too fast for normal people, so the skin cannot grow normally, becomes incomplete, swells, divides, inflames, and then falls into the keratin. It is a disease caused by abnormal keratin growth of the skin.
In addition, various diseases such as infectious diseases and vasodilation have problems such as immune function and circulation function.
Then, what is the reason why the skin’s function does not work well or it malfunctions, causing overactive hypersensitivity reactions?

Suwon Dermatology Oriental Medical Clinic says this is the effect of abnormal functions of the human body.
The reason why people with atopy or psoriasis are told about gut health is because these abnormalities in the function of the five intestines affect the functioning of the skin.
For example, if the function of the ledger is not smooth, an abnormality occurs in the activity of the autonomic nervous system, which indicates different abnormalities depending on the constitution (also expressed as genetic).
It also causes other skin diseases depending on the constitutional effect.
There is something called circulatory function in our body. Our bodies seem static, but they do circulatory movements from head to toe through various circulatory processes such as blood and body temperature metabolism.
When there is a static part of this circulation movement, various functions are weakened in the body, and accordingly, the skin function is affected, resulting in skin diseases.

In chronic skin diseases, the influence of skin function is important, and the function of the body is important to maintain skin function.
This is why people who want to treat many chronic skin diseases emphasize eating habits, lifestyle habits and environmental requirements.
If you’re struggling with chronic skin diseases right now, it’s wise to find a way to improve these areas.
Diet, exercise, etc. Various patterns of change should be considered, but since the constitutional part should be considered, active counseling for these auxiliary therapies is necessary.
On the other hand, herbal treatments use herbal medicines to improve the internal environment for the treatment of chronic skin diseases, skin care procedures to remove external inflammation or itchiness, and external preparations.
If you dream of quick skin recovery, it would be good to consult an expert for herbal treatment.
