Nature holds pearls of wisdom that enhance life's splendors. Elicina®
is just one of them. A natural skin care product for the
relief of psoriasis scales.
Home Treatment for
Psoriasis
Exposure to sunlight helps many people with psoriasis.
Keeping the skin soft and moist is helpful. Apply heavy moisturizers
after bathing. Rose Hip Oil applied to skin helps to mositurize and
triggers a healthy skin renewal.
Do not use irritating cosmetics or soaps.
Avoid scratching or itching that can cause bleeding or excessive
irritation.
Soaking in bath water with oil added and using moisturizers may help.
Bath soaks with coal tar or other agents that remove scales and reduce
the plaque may also help.
Cortisone creams can reduce the itching of mild psoriasis and are
available without a prescription.
Some people use an ultraviolet B unit at home under a doctor’s
supervision. A dermatologist may prescribe the unit and instruct you
on home use, especially if it is difficult for you to get to the
doctor’s office for phototherapy treatment.
Medical Treatment for Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition. Any approach to the treatment
of this disease must be considered for the long term. Treatment
regimens must be individualized according to age, sex, occupation,
personal motivation, other health conditions, and available resources.
Disease severity is defined not only by the number and extent of
plaques present but also by the patient's perception and acceptance of
the disease. Treatment must be designed with the patient's specific
expectations in mind, rather than focusing on the extent of body
surface area involved.
Many treatments exist for psoriasis. However, the construction of an
effective therapeutic regimen is not necessarily complicated.
There are 3 basic types of treatments for psoriasis: (1) topical
therapy (products used on the skin), (2) phototherapy (light therapy),
and (3) systemic therapy (drugs taken into the body). All of these
treatments may be used alone or in combination.
Topical agents: Medications applied directly to the skin are the first
course of treatment options. The main topical treatments are
corticosteroids, vitamin D-3 derivatives, coal tar, anthralin, or
retinoids. There isn't one topical drug that is best for all people
with psoriasis. Because each drug has specific adverse effects, it is
common to rotate them. Sometimes drugs are combined with other drugs
to make a preparation that is more helpful than an individual topical
medication. For example, keratolytics (substances used to break down
scales or excess skin cells) are often added to these preparations.
Some drugs are incompatible with the active ingredients of these
preparations. For example, salicylic acid (a component of aspirin)
inactivates calcipotriene (form of vitamin D-3). On the other hand,
drugs such as anthralin (tree bark extract) require addition of
salicylic acid to work effectively.
Phototherapy (light therapy): The ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun
slows the production of skin cells and reduces inflammation. Sunlight
helps reduce psoriasis symptoms in some people. If psoriasis is
widespread, as defined by more patches than can easily be counted,
then artificial light therapy may be used. Resistance to topical
treatment is another indication for light therapy. Proper facilities
are required for the two main forms of light therapy. The medical
light source in a physician's office is not the same as the light
sources generally found in tanning salons.
UV-B: Ultraviolet B (UV-B) light is used to treat psoriasis. UV-B is
light with wavelengths of 290-320 nanometers (nm). (The visible light
range is 400-700 nm.) UV-B therapy is usually combined with one or
more topical treatments. UV-B phototherapy is extremely effective for
treating moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. The major drawbacks of
this therapy are the time commitment required for treatments and the
accessibility of UV-B equipment.
The Goeckerman regimen uses coal tar followed by UV-B exposure and has
been shown to cause remission in more than 80% of patients. Patients
may complain of the strong odor when coal tar is added.
In the Ingram method, the drug anthralin is applied to the skin after
a tar bath and UV-B treatment.
UV-B therapy is usually combined with the topical application of
corticosteroids, calcipotriene (Dovonex), tazarotene (Tazorac), or
creams or ointments that soothe and soften the skin.
PUVA: PUVA is the therapy that combines a psoralen drug with
ultraviolet A (UV-A) light therapy. Psoralen drugs make the skin more
sensitive to light and the sun. Methoxsalen is a psoralen that is
taken by mouth several hours before UV-A light therapy. UV-A is light
with wavelengths of 320-400 nm. More than 85% of patients report
relief of disease symptoms with 20-30 treatments. Therapy is usually
given 2-3 times per week on an outpatient basis, with maintenance
treatments every 2-4 weeks until remission. Adverse effects of PUVA
therapy include nausea, itching, and burning. Long-term complications
include increased risks of sensitivity to the sun, sunburn, skin
cancer, and cataracts.
Systemic agents (drugs taken within the body): These drugs are
generally started only after both topical treatment and phototherapy
have failed. For generalized pustular psoriasis, systemic agents such
as retinoids may be required from the beginning of treatment. This may
be followed by PUVA treatment. For milder and chronic forms of
pustular psoriasis, topical treatment or light treatment may be tried
first. Systemic agents may be considered for very active psoriatic
arthritis. People whose disease is disabling because of physical,
psychological, social, or economic reasons may also be considered for
systemic treatment.
