To determine the most effective cure for psoriasis for all patients at once, you still need to conduct a number of studies. Therefore, doctors choose each patient to treat psoriasis individually to minimize side effects and achieve a stable positive result.
Briefly about the disease
Psoriatic disease ("psoriasis", "scaly lichen") is a disease of inflammatory non-infectious nature, which has characteristic signs and characteristics - poorly tolerated and delayed itching, burning of the skin, swelling with papules or intense growth of red plaques with suppuration orsulfur plaque. Both young children and adults are exposed to such misfortune - age characteristics do not play a role here.

Preparations for psoriasis on the body for different cases
You can also separately indicate which is better to choose a remedy for psoriasis on the body, its various parts. For example, you can't put cream on your head - that's a fact! Then you need to be more careful about the means that the doctor prescribes and stop at the more optimal ones. There are special treatment approaches for the legs or arms.

Effective treatment of psoriasis - 2 radical approaches
Among the latest medical technologies are several options for a radical approach to the treatment of psoriatic irritation with long-lasting effect. Doctors note one such effective treatment - small bowel valve surgery, which can solve the problems with good results for several years to come. The second approach is described below.
Surgery
You can quickly get inside the patient when the question of solving the root of the problem is ripe. One of the pathogenic areas where the outbreak of pathogenic bacteria is most inflamed is the intestines. And where there are many harmful bacteria, there is a large amount of toxins that affect the development of the disease. By cleansing the intestines or having a beneficial effect on them, a large accumulation of pathogenic microflora can be avoided. Such an effective treatment of psoriasis through surgery has not only its creator, but also its own approach and principle.
The famous surgeon - the creator of the technique - achieved excellent results when he began to perform operations on patients with psoriasis. The principle of the approach is the following - if you clean the intestines and then operate on the small intestine in the area of his valve, restore the valve, then the intestine will perform more actively its cleansing functions of the body. Problems such as small bowel failure or valve dysfunction are often overlooked. Whereas this may be the most important cause of the problem. After all, no matter how much you clean your gut, if the valve fails, then it's all in vain.
In terms of effectiveness, this method now ranks second among other approaches, after the strongest drugs with long-lasting effect. No need to transplant anyone's skin anywhere, no need to scalp plaques! In terms of timing, the therapeutic effect after surgery occurs within 2-3 months (in rare cases after 4 months). The body recovers and the patient can become completely healthy for a period of 4-5 years. If he continues to adhere to strict rules regarding diet, active lifestyle and other preventive recommendations of doctors, then the recovery time may even increase to 7 years or more.
For reference.Most often, such an operation plan is now carried out in Germany and Israel by leading specialists from well-known clinics.
UV radiation
Another method that can be considered radical is exposing the patient to ultraviolet radiation on a narrowband beam (311 nm). Doctors call this method "phototherapy". A special device is used for the procedure - lamps for narrowband therapy. The whole procedure takes about 10 minutes (sometimes even less). But it is recommended to do about a dozen such sessions so that the effect is already visible. There are no significant side effects in the treated patients. The result is a stable period of remission. Now such lamps are increasingly appearing in clinics, including public, which shows the growing popularity of the method and its increasing availability.
Important!This method of treating psoriasis shows equally effective results for people with fair skin as well as for owners of patients with dark skin.
What is the best cure for psoriasis today?
Today, an ointment from a Canadian manufacturer is recognized as one of the innovative drugs to eliminate such dermatological diseases in patients. The drug is new, doctors insist on its careful use, but at the same time note a stable effect of treatment. Such a remedy for psoriasis is now rightly registered as the best of the ointments.
The characteristics of the tool are as follows:
- The composition of the preparation is developed on the basis of vitamin D, calcitriol.
- In 85% of subjects out of a total of 800 people suffering from different types of psoriasis, after 18 weeks of daily use, all manifestations of the disease are reduced by 50-70%.
- It has not been tested on children, so they should not use it until they are 18 years old.
- The tool is still undergoing its latest testing.
- The main warning from the manufacturer is not to:
- staying in the sun too long;
- use the ointment together with diuretics;
- It is used in people diagnosed with disorders of calcium metabolism.
But such a drug removes plaque well, after which there are no spots, darkening or thin scars. The effect after using such a drug lasts for several years.
In summary, we can say with confidence that the treatment of psoriasis is not a single panacea for all cases and for all people. Each patient will have an individual approach. The disease has not yet been fully studied so that everyone can be vaccinated at once, as was once the case against smallpox. And, keep in mind, smallpox also hiccups at once for a long time methods and methods of treatment. The most important and reassuring thing is that psoriasis can be suppressed for a while. Sometimes, even with the right approach to therapy, it is possible to prolong remission to 7 years.
