can anybody tell me the treatment of psoraissis disease?

Question

i have skin disease psoraissis from many years.

Answer 1

I suggest all-natural Optiflora - internally treats the cause and not just the symptoms. Many times when something is going on inside our bodies it will manifest itself to the outside in some form such as psoriasis.

This two-product system uses new technology to protect beneficial microflora during the rigors of shipping, storage, and the acidic journey through your stomach. Other products claim live microflora at the time of manufacture. Optiflora guarantees the delivery of live microflora to your intestines.

This two-product system includes Probiotic (Bifidus & Acidophilus...microflora) + Prebiotic (FOS...food source for microflora). Patented guaranteed delivery of 500 million microflora to intestines.

Has helped others with this condition.

Hope this is useful and feel free to contact me with questions.

Psoriasis is a genetic disease so it is not contagious but can be transmitted from parent to offsprings. It is characterized by a hyperproliferative epidermis (outer most layer of skin) which may appear after local injury or after a streptoccocal infection. Some drugs have been identified to exacerbate (flare up) the disease that includes lithium, Non steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), betablockers abd iodides.

Treatment should be with the proper guidance of an experience physician for it may require a combination of therapies. The following are used:

1. Topical tar therapy - useful either alone or in combination with UVB radiation in a modified GOECKERMAN program, using 2% crude coal tar ointment.

Phototherapy: Goeckerman Regimen

Goeckerman regimen involves a combination of tar and UVB phototherapy. It has proved particularly successful in treating psoriasis in patients who have not responded to other treatments. Administered over a period of three to four weeks, the treatment is known to produce lengthy remission periods of more than six months to a year even in severe cases.
The Goeckerman regimen can be administered in a hospital or a day treatment program. In the day treatment program the patient receives intensive tar and UVB phototherapy during the day but returns home or to a temporary residence in the evening. In a modified form of the Goeckerman regimen the patient is asked to apply the tar at his residence and then visit the doctor for receiving the radiation dose.

The Goeckerman approach has been found ideal by patients who have not responded to tar therapy alone. It takes about twenty treatment sessions for the psoriasis lesions to clear.

2. A medium-potency topical steroid - applied twice daily.
NOTE: Systemic steroids are contraindicated for its withdrawal can flare up a pustular psoriatic reaction.

3. Psoralen and UVA (PUVA) - Methoxsalen (Oxsoralen) 40 mg. orally 2 hours prior to exposure to UVA every other day.

For patients resistant to conventional therapy, methotrexate or etritenate may be required and should be used only by experienced physicians.

Answer 4

There are a few treatments available. The most important thing is to become informed and talk to your dermatologist. I recommend researching the information they have posted on the National Psoriasis Foundations' website, http://www.psoriasis.org - it will help you learn about the different types of psoriasis, as well as various treatments that physicians and patients have used. You might also find support from others there. Good luck!

There isn't a cure for psoriasis, but there are a wide variety of treatments that can help control the condition. Here's an outline of the major approaches:

* Topical treatments. The first step for treating psoriasis is using topical medications, such as ointments, creams, solutions, or sprays. There are a number of different types, with the most commonly prescribed being topical steroids such as cortisone. Other medications include Dovonex, Tazorac, and anthralin. Many of these products come in different forms and in different strengths, which would be prescribed depending on the severity of your psoriasis and the area affected. While some medications, such as coal tar and salicylic acid, are sometimes available without a prescription, you should only use them in consultation with your dermatologist. One problem with most of these medications is that they cause side effects -- such as skin irritation -- and medications such as steroids may become less effective over time. Topical therapy is unlikely to work in cases where more than 10% to 20% of the skin is affected by psoriasis.
* Phototherapy. Another approach to treating psoriasis is phototherapy, exposing the affected skin to light. Sunlight, in small doses, can help reduce the symptoms of psoriasis. There are also artificial ways of mimicking this effect with ultraviolet lights. One common type of this treatment is called UVB, using ultraviolet B light. A more refined version of this approach, called narrow band UVB, is more effective in fewer treatments. Another treatment, called PUVA (psoralen plus ultraviolet A light), combines exposure to a different kind of light with a medication, psoralen, that increases your skin's sensitivity to light. Although PUVA can be effective on difficult-to-treat psoriasis, it increases your risk of skin cancer. The newest development in phototherapy is the use of lasers, which focus the beneficial effects of light specifically on the affected areas of skin, reducing side effects and the number of necessary appointments. While phototherapy can work very well, it may involve numerous trips to the doctor's office weekly and it can be difficult to fit into a busy schedule.
* Systemic medication. Oral medications, such as methotrexate (Rheumatrex and Amethopterin) and cyclosporine (Neoral or Sandimmune) are prescribed in severe cases of psoriasis that don't respond to other treatments. While systemic treatment -- meaning medication that affects the body's entire system -- can work very well, it can also have potentially serious side effects. Your doctor will need to monitor you closely while you use these drugs. Many of the systemic medications work by weakening the response of your immune system, thereby lessening the symptoms of psoriasis.
* Biologic treatments. Recent discoveries about the causes of psoriasis have led to some new approaches to treatment. There's a great deal of excitement about biologic treatments for psoriasis, which specifically target the immune system response that causes the symptoms of psoriasis. Early evidence indicates that these new drugs have significantly fewer side effects than traditional systemic therapy. As of July 2004, three of these drugs were approved to treat chronic moderate to severe psoriasis: Amevive, Enbrel, and Raptiva. These medications can be highly effective when other treatments have failed. However, since they all decrease some aspect of the immune system and thus may increase the risk of serious infection. Other biologic drugs under study to treat psoriasis include Remicade and Humira.
* Home care. While there's nothing you can do to prevent yourself from getting psoriasis, you can take measures that will reduce the chances of having a flare-up. Always make sure to keep your skin moist, since dry weather can make psoriasis worse. Don't pick at your skin and be careful to avoid cuts and bruises because injuries can cause your psoriasis to flare. Although it hasn't been proven, many people believe that stress can make their psoriasis worse, so do what you can to relax.
