Treatment of Psoriasis
Psoriasis is an autoimmune skin rash that appears on the skin surface as red, white and silvery scales. Both psoriasis and eczema share similar symptoms.
Both dermatological infections are painful, itching and irritating.
In spite of the symptoms, they have unique characteristics which make it possible to diagnose each infection accurately.
Psoriatic plaques are red, white and silvery. Eczema rashes are lighter than the surrounding skin.
Psoriatic plaques are slightly elevated above the surrounding healthy skin. Eczema rashes are flat. They are at the same level as the surrounding skin.

Psoriatic patches occur within clearly delimited borders. The edges of psoriatic scales are distinctly delimited from the rest of the skin. Eczema rashes have no clear-cut edges.
Causes of Psoriasis
Psoriasis is caused by a malfunctioning immune system. The immune system sends faulty signals to the epidermis, provoking a rapid reproduction of skin cells. This occurs, when the immune system mistakes a healthy cell for a pathogen.
Several factors can trigger this immune-mediated response: genetics, stress, skin injury (lesions, sunburns, and scratches), medications and infections such as streptococcus.
Genetics plays a huge role. Most psoriatic cases are congenital. Most of the causative genes are located in the immune system, particularly the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and T cells.

Remedy of Psoriasis
The most widely used treatment options for psoriasis include: biologics, systemic agents, topical agents, phototherapy and alternative therapy. The treatment option, which your doctor prescribes, depends on the severity of the infection.
If you have a mild infection, you’ll probably be recommended some over-the-counter topical agents. If you have a moderate infection, you’ll probably be recommended phototherapy sessions. If you have a severe infection, you’ll probably be recommended systemic agents.
The severity of the infection is measured by several metrics: proportion of body surface area affected, disease activity (degree of plaque redness, thickness and scaling), response to previous therapies and the impact of the infection on your quality of life.
Systemic Agents
Systemic agents are similar to biologics. Both are reserved for severe cases or cases, in which, other management methods have failed.
Systemic agents and biologics are prescription drugs (pills, liquids, etc) that can be taken orally or injected. The three major groups of systemic agents include: methotrexate, cyclosporine and retinoids.
Relief from Psoriatic Rashes
Patients undergoing systemic treatment are regularly subjected to liver functioning and blood tests to manage the toxicity of the medication.
Most systemic agents are immunosuppressants. Any abrupt interruption of medication usually means the immune system is no longer suppressed. When the immune system is no longer being suppressed, it returns to its former activity i.e. emitting faulty signals; that cause the rapid reproduction of cells.
Hence, people on systemic medication experience a high recurrence rate.
Phototherapy
Phototherapy involves the use of ultraviolet light to treat psoriasis. You can use ultraviolet light generated by artificial lamps or ultraviolet light from the sun.
The sun produces both UVB and UVA. Ultraviolet light B (UVB) is effective in treating psoriatic plaques.

Ultraviolet light A (UVA) is not effective on its own. UVA is only effective when used in combination with psoralen. Psoralen is a drug which can be administered orally or applied topically on the skin. This treatment method, in which, psoralen is combined with UVA is called Psoralen + UVA (PUVA).
Topical Agents
Topical agents are used for mild and moderate cases. Topical ointments have a pretty low recurrence rate.
Dermasis is an all-natural, over-the-counter topical cream. The organic ingredients of dermasis have widespread applications in homeopathic medicine.
Palm oil is one of the natural ingredients of dermasis. It helps to lubricate and hydrate the skin. This prevents the further multiplication of cells and speeds up the recovery of infected skin.
