What is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis falls into the very complex and unpredictable category of skin diseases. It can occur in various parts of the body at any age.
It is a growth disorder of the epidermis whereby thickened, often inflamed and itchy patches of skin form. In some cases it involves visible areas such as the face, hands, and scalp, causing significant psychological discomfort.
What are the causes of psoriasis?
Is it possible to attribute a single cause to the onset of psoriasis? the answer is no. Often, certain people are simply more predisposed than others to develop forms of psoriasis. However, trauma, infection, stress and specific treatments for other health issues can also trigger the condition.
How does psoriasis form and where can it appear?
The most frequently affected areas are the scalp, hands, elbows, knees and the base of the spine. Psoriasis can also affect the feet and nails. There are several different types of psoriasis:
- small, clustered psoriasis plaques
- guttate psoriasis (small, scattered plaques)
- single plaque psoriasis
- large plaque psoriasis
What are the symptoms of psoriasis?
- Hyperkeratosis (thickening of the stratum corneum)
- Redness and itching
- Fissures due to the stiffness of hyperkeratotic skin
- Scaling
How to treat psoriasis
Treatment goes hand in hand with the severity and extent of the skin lesions. For severe and/or extensive psoriasis, Biological Medicines are used, which are able to specifically block inflammation factors. Medium or mild psoriasis with limited skin involvement is treated with topical therapy or physical therapy with Ultra Violet Rays.
Treatment with Natural Reducers
The most correct topical treatment is with Natural Reducents. By Natural Reducers we mean active, non-drug ingredients capable of reducing plaque. Sulphur, Salicylic Acid, Ichthyol Sulphonate and Coal Tar are considered Natural Reducers, which are not permitted under European law, contrary to the law in the United States and Canada.
