• Plaque Psoriasis

Interventions

OTHER

Fire needle

1. Participants wear eye masks and fully expose the lesions. After selecting the acupuncture points, the surgeon routinely disinfects the hands of the operator and the acupuncture points of the participants before the operation. After selecting an acupuncture needle with a specification of 0.4\*40mm and ignites the alcohol lamp, the operator continuously moves the needle from the needle root to the needle tip to burn the red needle to disinfect the needle in the outer flame of the alcohol lamp. 2. The operator ignites the alcohol lamp, and burns the needle tip and the needle body to the outer flame of the alcohol lamp until it is completely red (the length of the needle burning red is determined by the acupuncture depth), and then rapidly penetrates the skin lesion vertically, the depth of the acupuncture is based on the thickness of the skin lesion, when the operation is performed, the outer edge of the lesion is punctured to the center point, and the spacing is 0.3 to 0.5 cm.
