Ointment
Ointment Psoriasis are divided into two main groups: hormonal Basis of. Some skin doctors will not prescribe the first of them, urge others to get along hormonal agents. We look at each group.
Hormonal ointments is the most common type of medication for Psoriasis. The opponents of such funds talk about the dangers of side effects after application, and also in the event of the termination of the treatment. Doctors explain that hormonal preparations for oral administration dangerous, because there may be a negative impact on the work of the immune system, and the failures in their work. Compositions for external application may not have this ability, therefore, is not the only necessary condition for the safety of the treatment is to the long-term intake (to avoid habituation) and blurred notice.
The undoubted advantage of hormonal ointments of psoriasis is achieve your efficiency and speed of the desired result. After just a few minutes after application, relief usually occurs, eliminates unpleasant symptoms in the Form of severe itching and feeling of burning and smoldering of the inflammatory process.

- Keraslysis. To speed up these resources as effectively as possible the process of healing of the Plaques. This is possible through the strengthening of the process of the dead cells with a scrub. In addition to anti-inflammatory, keraslysis have a strong anti-microbial effect;
- Phyto-Ointment. Despite its prevalence, doctors claim relating to the use of such drugs is useful, do not use it as the primary means of treatment, but as an additional therapy. Anti-inflammatory and wound-healing effect, the Phyto-ointment, perfectly complement the effect of the most important drugs used for the treatment of Psoriasis;
- Moisturizing ointments and creams. They must be used, such as herbs, as an aid to the action of the main drugs. Moisturizing ointments have a positive impact on the condition of the skin, and this happens at the cellular level, leading to the acceleration of the Regeneration of the affected Plaques phases.
