Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition characterized by plaques or dry, red, silvery, scaly patches of skin. Besides being unsightly, these patches are painful or sore and can also itch, burn, and sting. These psoriatic plaques often occur at the wrist, elbow, knee, and ankle. In some severe cases, more than 85% of the body can be covered by these scaly patches.

Psoriasis is actually quite common - more than 5 million people in the United States have it. About 150,000 to 260,000 new cases are diagnosed each year - 20,000 of them occur in children younger than 10 years of age. What causes psoriasis? Scientists have yet to determine the exact cause of psoriasis. It is known, however, that flare ups can be triggered by stress, infection, changes in climate or temperature, skin injury, alcohol use etc'

Even though psoriasis has genetic nature, it may stay latent for years and then, all of the sudden, the patient develops acute symptoms. Normally, the relapse will be triggered by some external factor, when the patient is, for some reason, physically or psychologically debilitated. The condition may worsen at times of psychological stress, for instance, with students during a university end-of term exams, with middle-aged patients who lost the job, or with children, who found it difficult to come to terms with the parents' divorce. Of course, there are many more potentially triggering situations. Psoriasis symptoms may get worse under physical stress, or following medication for cardio-vascular conditions, malaria and mental disorders (those who take lithium should pay special attention it!). Psoriasis may occur as a complication after streptococci-conditioned sore throat. Even such factors as intensive smoking and a large doze of alcohol may trigger the symptoms worsening.
 

According to the statistics the percentages of male and female patients suffering from psoriasis are equal. In most cases, the disease manifests itself in the most acute manner with the patients of 10-30 years of age. However the first manifestation may appear at any age.
 

In the majority of cases, the psoriasis disease starts spreading from the areas experiencing effective rubbing, e.g. elbows, knees, groin, head. Often the condition will spread over to other parts of the body – face, ears, stomach and back.
 

Since until now the specific factor or gene responsible for the condition has not been discovered, there is no ultimate cure for psoriasis at the moment, and the remedies we are using merely help alleviate the condition and eliminate its manifested symptoms.
 

The advantage of the Ornits (Orneats) series of Psoremiss treatment is in what's in it and in what there isn't in it. Since it does not have steroids one can use it for prolonged periods without any side effects. On the other hand, usually the various types of treatment of Psoriasis dry the skin and require the use of more moist and lubricious ointments (White cream number 9, for example). The composition of Orneats has a better therapeutic effect than other natural creams. Please check out before and after cases.

No. Just to apply the creams a few times a day. You can find more in the patient pamphlet

Yes - to prevent psoriasis flare-ups, you should limit your consumption of sugar, meat, dairy products, and animal fats. It is thought that arachidonic acid, a compound found in animal tissues, can increase the levels of inflammatory agents in the body that contribute to psoriasis. Instead, eat more high-fiber foods such as vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. Dietary fibers can help flush toxins from the bowels that otherwise may be absorbed and trigger psoriasis. Stop drinking alcohol completely. Alcohol is known to exacerbate psoriasis as it can increase the absorption of toxins in the small intestines, which then enter the bloodstream and trigger psoriasis flare-ups.

Eczema or dermatitis is a group of skin conditions marked with dry, hot, and itchy skin. In severe forms, the skin can become inflamed, broken and raw, with occasional bleeding. Orneats creams can also soothe and reduce all of the symptoms of eczema.
