Silver crumbs, a chronic skin disease, like a vexed “hostile enemy”, often recurs in the life of the patient, bringing with it a double physical and psychological torture.
Silver crumbs is a self-immunized disease in terms of the nature of the disease itself. The human immune system is, under normal circumstances, a loyal guardian who protects the body from alien pathogens. However, there is an “disturbation” of the immune system in persons with silver crumbs. It misidentifies skin cells as foreign harmful substances and triggers an immune response. This immune response leads to excessive growth of skin cells, and the growth of horny cell formations is much faster than normal, resulting in typical silver-crumb skin lesions such as red spots and crumbs that we see. Because this abnormal state of the immune system is difficult to completely correct, it is like a “time bomb” hidden inside the body, and a slight irritation triggers another skin disease. For example, when the body is infected, even with a common cold, the invasion of a virus or bacteria activates the immune system, an already “neurological” immune system, which, while fighting infection, can easily launch another wrong attack on skin cells, leading to a resurgence of silver crumbs.
The incidence of silver crumb is also closely related to genetic factors. If there are silver crumb patients in the family, the probability of silver crumbs in other family members increases significantly. This is because genetic factors make it possible to carry some of the genes associated with silver crumb. These genes are like a potential “switch” that is triggered when the right environmental factors are encountered. These genes remain in the body even if the skin is temporarily lost after treatment. For example, in cases of chronic mental stress, changes in hormonal levels, neurotransmitters, etc. in the body can affect the expression of genes through complex mechanisms, which in turn can lead to a recurrence of silver crumbs.
In addition, external environmental factors are an important contributing factor to the recurrence of silver crumbs. Seasonal change is a clear example. Many patients suffer from severe or repeated conditions during the autumn and winter holidays. In autumn and winter, temperatures are reduced, air moisture is reduced, skin moisture is more easily dispersed and skin barriers are affected. Declining skin barriers, on the other hand, make it easier for external irritants to enter the skin, stimulate the immune system and cause silver crumbs. Moreover, dry skin itself leads to metabolic anomalies in the corneal layer, which undoubtedly aggravates the case of silver crumb patients.
Poor living habits also lead to repeated cases of silver crumbs. Smoking and alcohol consumption are two of the “problems”. When harmful substances such as nicotine and alcohol in tobacco enter the body, they interfere with the metabolism of the body and affect the blood circulation and nutritional supply of the skin. Moreover, they can create poor incentives for the immune system, weaken body resistance and make silver crumbs more likely to recur. At the same time, prolonged stayovers disrupt the living bells of the human body, rendering the body’s endocrine and immune systems dysfunctional, thus increasing the risk of a recurrence of silver crumbs.
Psychological factors also play an unforgettable role in the resurgence of silver crumbs. Long-term anxiety, depression, etc. can disrupt patients ‘ nervous-endocrine-immunological networks. When a person is in a state of stress and anxiety, the body is charged with some stress hormones, such as cortisol. Increased levels of cortisol inhibit the normal functioning of the immune system, but in the case of silver crumbs, this may be counterproductive, making the immune system more unstable and leading to a resurgence of silver crumbs.
In sum, the recurrence of silver crumbs is the result of a combination of its own immune characteristics, genetic factors, external circumstances, living habits and psychological factors. For those with silver crumbs, knowledge of these recurrence factors and attention to them in daily life are essential to control the recurrence of the disease and improve the quality of life.
