Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: The inclusion criteria of the hydrogen-water bathing group of patients with chronic inflammatory skin diseases: 1. aged 20-70 years; 2. Psoriasis: patients with a history of plaque psoriasis for a minimum of 12 months: 1) All the patients were diagnosed as plaque psoriasis by two or more dermatologists. And if possible, the diagnosis will be confirmed by histopathological examination; 2) All the patients suffered conventional treatment failure or failed to reduce the existing dosage of drugs beyond topical corticosteroid and calcipotriol ointments for more than 4 months; 3) Patients with the baseline Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) score range from 0 to 30. 3. Parapsoriasis: patients with a history of parapsoriasis for a minimum of 12 months: 1) All the patients were diagnosed as parapsoriasis by two or more dermatologists. The diagnosis will be confirmed by histopathological and immunohistochemical findings. All biopsies reported dense lymphocytic infiltrates, occasionally with lymphocyte exocytosis; 2) Patients who had received UVA or narrow-band UVB therapy for more than 6 months without evident improvements or suffered flare-ups during phototherapy. 4. other chronic inflammatory skin diseases: patients who have fulfilled the criteria of certain chronic inflammatory skin disease for more than 4 months and have been resistant to the present therapy. 5. Patients who fully understand of the study and can be treated and followed up regularly. The inclusion criteria of the hydrogen-water control group of patients with chronic inflammatory skin diseases: 1. aged 20-70 years; 2. Psoriasis: patients with a history of plaque psoriasis for a minimum of 12 months: 1) All the patients were diagnosed as plaque psoriasis by two or more dermatologists. And if possible, the diagnosis will be confirmed by histopathological examination; 2) Patients with the baseline Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) score range from 0 to 30. 3. Parapsoriasis: patients with a history of parapsoriasis for a minimum of 12 months: 1) All the patients were diagnosed as parapsoriasis by two or more dermatologists. The diagnosis will be confirmed by histopathological and immunohistochemical findings. All biopsies reported dense lymphocytic infiltrates, occasionally with lymphocyte exocytosis. 4. Patients who fully understand of the study and can be treated and followed up regularly.

Patients fulfill the diagnosis criteria of autoimmune blister diseases including clinical,histopathological and immunofluorescence findings; 3. Patients fulfill the diagnosis criteria of interstitial pneumonia; 4. The patients will be divided into two subgroups according to their own decision and objective condition: 1) hydrogen-water oral-intake group; 2) hydrogen-gas inhalation group; 5. Patients who fully understand of the study and can be treated and followed up regularly.
