Recent developments in research have led to innovative creams and formulas based on natural materials that have proven to significantly reduce Psoriasis symptoms, mainly the red patches that appear on the skin.

Psoriasis is a skin condition that causes redness and irritation of the skin. This usually leads to red skin with flaky, silver – white patches known as scales. The patches appear on the elbows, knees, palms and feet. This is the most common form of Psoriasis – Plaque Psoriasis. Other forms include Guttate, Inverse, Pustular and Erythrodermic Psoriasis

Psoriasis is most common between the ages of 15 – 35 years and can be found in both male and female genders. It can appear suddenly or slowly. Appearances can be inconsistent but recurring over time. Although not contagious, Psoriasis does seem to be hereditary.

To date the following catalysts have been documented:

1. Dry skin
2. Stress
3. Too little or too much sunlight
4. Excessive alcohol intake
5. Weakened immune system

Known symptoms:

1. Irritated, red, flaky patches of skin
2. Patches may appear anywhere on the body including the scalp
3. Raised and thick skin will be itchy and dry

Psoriasis patients have to deal with both the physical and psychological effects of the condition. Depending on the intensity of the condition and the location, Psoriasis can hinder a normal lifestyle and lead to low self esteem, depression and social isolation.
