Psoriasis Cream

Revitol Dermasis is one brand of psoriasis cream that like all others are designed to treat psoriasis. In general psoriasis is described as a skin condition that causes skin redness and irritation forming flaky silver-white patches called scales caused by an increased rate of production of skin cells but before buying any such psoriasis cream, it is extremely important to consult a doctor to be sure as to which form of treatment bests suit you and whether or not one should use the treatment at all. This is due to the fact that there are more than a few forms of psoriasis each of which requires specific treatments.

A few of which include Plague Psoriasis (the most common form of psoriasis that forms red plagues) that is extremely persistent even with treatment, Guttate Psoriasis (the second most common form of the condition which forms lesions) which normally goes off on its own, Pustular Psoriasis (Forms pustules and painful lesions) commonly treated by prescribed Acitretin (Soriatane) or methotrexate and Inverse Psoriasis (A form of the condition that forms bright red smooth patches in folds of skin) which is treated by steroid creams. As such, psoriasis creams are usually used only as treatment for plague psoriasis and inverse psoriasis. However, in the case of plague psoriasis, the condition is usually triggered by another disease or stimuli such as bacterial infection, viral infections, over-consumption of alcohol and stress. Therefore, the creams used to treat this form of psoriasis is usually used to ease and relieve the symptoms such as dry skin, irritation and redness using ingredients such as salicylic acid used to dissolve the dead skin layers, emollients used to moisturize the.

As for Inverse Psoriasis, the most common form of treatment is hydrocortisone, an over the counter steroid cream. However in more severe cases, protopic or elidel creams that act to stop the production of cytokines (an inflammatory chemical) by white blood cells are prescribed. Therefore before purchasing any psoriasis cream as treatment it is best to consult a doctor.
