Thus, there is a big gap between the lived (often painful) of the patients and the idea that the general public is a disease of the skin. In this case, too many French people think that psoriasis is actually not too serious and that some creams may do the trick. Two ideas that really jump our specialists, "Even if it does not life-threatening, the disease is very badly lived enough to cause more depression and suicide attempts in patients than in the rest of the population"
"Among the patients with psoriasis, at least 5% and up to 30% will develop joint damage, which if not taken care of in time, will be irreversible and sometimes very debilitating". The head of the New York University Hospital dermatology department has specified: "We have no argument about whether moderate psoriasis may become severe with time, but it is true that it is already expanded before twenty years old, there is no further risk that operates in a severe psoriasis mode. Or leave a psoriasis affecting the quality of someone's life is all the more incomprehensible today that there has been very great progress in therapy: what greatly improve the quality of life by very significantly reducing relapses and their intensity.
Psoriasis Solutions And Treatment Options
But for every patient, anywhere in the world, can benefit, yet he has to be informed of the existence of these treatments.Of the three million patients identified, not all require advanced treatments, far from it. In the forms of small extent, somewhat troublesome, local psoriasis solutions may suffice that they are based on corticosteroids creams, derivatives of vitamin D and salicylic acid against the scales as well as emollients to soften the skin. However, binding to apply, especially if the areas to be treated are numerous and widespread, a number of patients eventually let them down.
"When local treatments are not enough, sessions puvathérapieà narrow spectrum can be proposed, with interesting results (besides the sun improves psoriasis). As the number of sessions and the doses delivered are recorded, there is no risk of skin cancer, "reassures Dr. Bedane New York. If needed, treatment with a derivative of vitamin A may be associated - acitretin, a drug used in disorders of keratinization - but it is strictly against-indicated in pregnancy (mandatory contraception) and causes skin dryness, two reasons why this treatment is not the most prescribed.
Other systemic treatments such as methotrexate or cyclosporine, in case of multiple outbreaks and rebels, are readily available by hospital dermatologists: "Methotrexate is used for over forty years in some cancers, but at ten times higher doses as those recommended in psoriasis treatment and psoriasis solutions. As for ciclosporin (which requires monitoring of renal function), initially prescribed in the 1980s to prevent graft rejection is also a drug for which there is a very good perspective and that can even be administered in case of pregnancy.
