Psoriasis

What is psoriasis?

Psoriasis is an incurable auto-immune inflammatory skin disorder affecting more than 7.5 million Americans. The disease is prevalent in both adults and children of all races, with the leading causes of psoriasis being genetics, the immune system, and stress.

What are the symptoms of psoriasis?

Symptoms differ among the five variations of psoriasis and often include lesions, scales, and dry, irritated skin prone to cracking and bleeding. Those suffering from psoriasis-like symptoms are encouraged to seek a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment. Treatment options often include a combination of natural and prescription products.

How is psoriasis diagnosed?

A doctor or dermatologist is needed to properly diagnose psoriasis. The diagnosis is made by examining an area of affected skin. Occasionally this will include the removal of a small piece of effected skin to be examined.

What causes psoriasis?

Researchers have identified nine gene mutations that may be involved in causing psoriasis. The immune system can also lead to psoriasis when T-cells become overactive and produce chemicals that cause inflammation. Research has also been done that links stress to increasing psoriasis symptoms.

How can I treat psoriasis?

There is no known cure for psoriasis, leaving treatment as the only option. With the number of psoriasis treatments that are available it is recommended to work with a dermatologist to find the best treatment routine that will be effective for you and your symptoms.

Skin MD Natural as a psoriasis treatment:

Skin MD Natural uses natural ingredients to moisturize and heal dry, damaged skin ravaged by psoriasis.

"Due to the job-related stress (I am a middle school English teacher) my psoriasis flared up and nothing could control it. I would find blood on papers I was passing out, and my fingers would split so badly I couldn't type. For the last two years I have tried every lotion I could, and some very strong psoriasis prescription creams. I have used lotions, creams, Vaseline, aloe vera, pure lanolin, vitamin E, gab balm, Neosporin, anything and everything. Nothing could control it. My skin does not produce enough oils to keep it supple, so it splits.

Then my doctor gave me your product to treat my psoriasis. I used it twice a day for three days and my hands healed! I ordered a gallon of it from you. The shielding lotion seals my skin so that what little oil my skin produces is not lost. Unlike lotions, which cannot penetrate to the lower skin layers, MY OWN OIL is healing my skin. What can be a more natural lotion than the oils MY BODY produces?
This is an excellent product, thank you!"
