I am suffering from Pysoriasis- a skin problem before 10 years? Can I cure from this disease? I also fed up!?

Answer 1

There can be substantial variation between individuals in the effectiveness of specific psoriasis treatments. Because of this, dermatologists often use a trial-and-error approach to finding the most appropriate treatment for their patient. The decision to employ a particular treatment is based on the type of psoriasis, its location, extent and severity. The patient’s age, gender, quality of life, comorbidities, and attitude toward risks associated with the treatment are also taken into consideration.

Medications with the least potential for adverse reactions are preferentially employed. If the treatment goal is not achieved then therapies with greater potential toxicity may be used. Medications with significant toxicity are reserved for severe unresponsive psoriasis. This is called the psoriasis treatment ladder.[6] As a first step, medicated ointments or creams are applied to the skin. This is called topical treatment. If topical treatment fails to achieve the desired goal then the next step would be to expose the skin to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This type of treatment is called phototherapy. The third step involves the use of medications which are ingested orally or by injection. This approach is called systemic treatment.

Over time, psoriasis can become resistant to a specific therapy. Treatments may be periodically changed to prevent resistance developing (tachyphylaxis) and to reduce the chance of adverse reactions occurring. This is called treatment rotation.

Answer 2

I'm 21 years old and I've been suffering from Psoriasis for 21 years. Psoriasis is actually a skin condition where your skin cells reproduce too quickly and doesn't get a chance to drop off the dead skin cells so they just keep building up.
Psoriasis as yet does not have a cure. For the Psoriasis I get anywhere but my scalp, I exfoliate when I have my shower every day and ensure that I moisturise thouroughly. For my scalp, I have to keep changing shampoos as it keeps getting immune to the shampoos after a while. But I find that Head and Shoulders or T Gel are the best.

Hello Anjum,

I am sorry to hear you are suffering from this.
I am hoping the following will help....

Here are some quotes from a Web page from the American
Academy of Dermatology on psoriasis...
http://www.skincarephysicians.com/psoriasisnet/whatis.html


"Psoriasis is a chronic, meaning lifelong, condition because there is currently no cure. People often experience flares and remissions throughout their life. Controlling the signs and symptoms typically requires lifelong therapy."

"Treatment depends on the severity and type of psoriasis. Some psoriasis is so mild that the person is unaware of the condition. A few develop such severe psoriasis that lesions cover most of the body and hospitalization is required. These represent the extremes. Most cases of psoriasis fall somewhere in between. "

As far as treatments, since I am not a doctor, I cannot
tell which one would work for you. But here are some things
I found, and, well, I think it would be best to discuss them with
a health care provider of your choosing...to decide what would
be best.

The National Psioriasis Foundation has these suggestions at
http://www.psoriasis.org/treatment/psoriasis/
Please go to this Web page here to get more information on the things mentioned below....

Topical treatments (applied to the skin) include over-the counter
drugs (ask a pharamcist where they are in the store, also ask
the pharmacist how they work if you'd like...pharmacists, with
5-6 years of college, are very knowledgeable and most are happy
to share their knowledge)...
--Salicylic acid http://www.psoriasis.org/treatment/psoriasis/topicals/sal_acid.php
--coal tar http://www.psoriasis.org/treatment/psoriasis/topicals/tar.php
--other chemicals (bath solutions, moisturizers and nonprescription medications ) http://www.psoriasis.org/treatment/psoriasis/topicals/otc.php

Prescription topicals (again, applied to skin)
--athralin http://www.psoriasis.org/treatment/psoriasis/topicals/anthralin.php
--dovonex http://www.psoriasis.org/treatment/psoriasis/topicals/dovonex.php
--taclonex http://www.psoriasis.org/treatment/psoriasis/topicals/taclonex.php
--tazorac http://www.psoriasis.org/treatment/psoriasis/topicals/tazorac.php
--topical steroids http://www.psoriasis.org/treatment/psoriasis/steroids/

Phototherapy involves using Ultraviolet light, at the doctor's
or at a dermatologist (skin specialist) office. More info at
http://www.psoriasis.org/treatment/psoriasis/phototherapy/

Systemic medications are prescriptions that work on the
whole body (systemic...think "system", as the whole body )
(more info at http://www.psoriasis.org/treatment/psoriasis/systemics/

Alternative approaches are outlined at this Web page:

You might be thinking about diet..

I really learned a lot looking up material on psioriasis.
I had no idea there were so many kinds of psioriasis, and
so many ways to treat them. I am hoping you find what
works best for you.

If you think I could help out more, just email me...I will do my best.

Answer 4

Pysoriasis has been a problem for me for many years. I didn't even know what I had for years. After trying everything the Doctors and the quacks would give me for it, I have settled on switching my shampoos around. T-Gel & Head and Shoulders are the best over the counter I have used, and Ketoconazole has been the one written by my Doctor that seems to be working now. But to be brutally honest I haven't found the cure yet.
