WHAT IS PSORIASIS AND SEBORRHEIC DERMATITIS?
Psoriasis is a non-contagious skin disorder, which afflicts millions of men and women of all ages. Normal skin cells multiply, mature and shed on a regular basis. In those afflicted with psoriasis, skin cells appear to multiply much faster than normal with excessive skin cells accumulating on the skin's surface. In its most common form, these cells form scaly, reddish patches, which are often unsightly, uncomfortable and are sometimes irritated and painful. While the exact causes of psoriasis are still unknown, it is reported that a susceptibility to psoriasis may be inherited; passed along from one generation to another genetically within families. First visible outbreaks of psoriasis may be prompted by an external stress such as surgery, a major infection or a minor skin injury such as a burn or cut. After the first outbreak, psoriasis flare ups tend to come and go without any specific regularity or frequency, although symptoms appear to diminish during warm summer months and increase during cold winter months. Some studies have shown a relationship between psoriasis flare ups and periods of emotional stress. The number of flare ups and their intensity may differ from case to case or patient to patient. Although there is no known permanent cure for psoriasis, the active ingredient in PSORIASIN Ointment has been proven to help effectively relieve and control the symptoms, as well as prevent recurrences.
Seborrheic dermatitis is a condition which afflicts millions of people and is similar to psoriasis, though it is a distinctly different condition. Seborrheic dermatitis is an inflammation affecting areas of the skin rich in sebaceous (oil producing) glands commonly on the hairy areas of the body, such as scalp and face, including the brows, around the nose, as well as the trunk of the body. This troublesome skin disorder tends to be marked by skin cell proliferation and heightened sebaceous gland (oil gland) activity. Skin cells shed and become scaly, itchy, red and irritated. Affected areas tend to display oily looking, yellowish scaly patches. People who tend toward oily skin are more likely to be affected. While seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis are different disorders, symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis respond well to the active ingredient in PSORIASIN Ointment which helps to relieve, control and prevent recurrence of symptoms with regular use as directed.
HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU HAVE PSORIASIS OR SEBORRHEIC DERMATITS?
In its most common form, known as plaque psoriasis, the condition is characterized by sharply defined raised reddish areas of skin or patches typically covered with rough, dry silvery scaling, most often occurring on body extensions such as elbows and knees. Often times, outbreaks are accompanied by itching and flaking at the affected site. In many cases, skin is cracked, irritated and burning. When soft tissue areas are affected, such as the palm of the hand, constant movement may cause skin to break and crack, causing pain and discomfort.
Seborrheic dermatitis tends to occur most often on the face and trunk. Both seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis can and do affect the scalp. Seborrheic dermatitis tends to show up as thick, greasy, yellowish scales.
If you experience any type of unusual skin eruption(s), including those described here, contact your doctor to make the correct diagnosis or obtain professional advice. You may wish to show him /her PSORIASIN Ointment and discuss its use for relief and prevention.
