Psoriasis Prevention

For Psoriasis Prevention try to avoid the Psoriasis Risk Factors and try to follow the Advice for Psoriasis.

Besides that, there are a few other things that can be done for the Prevention of Psoriasis:

UV light

Exposing the entire skin to the Ultraviolet (UV) during the psoriatic remissions is a good means for Psoriasis Prevention.

This can be achieved either by tanning in a special UVB tanning bed, or by going to a warm sunny climate for a couple weeks 1-2 times a year.

Health resort treatments - sun rays and sea bathing - are very good for Psoriasis Prevention.

Vitamins

Vitamins are also very important for Psoriasis Prevention. Vitamins are known to improve the disorders of the metabolism (continuous processes in our bodies and its cells, with which food products are turned into energy, tissue, and waste products) and to increase the immunity of the body.

It is particularly recommended the introduction of the Vitamins B1 and B12, Ascorbic acid and Folic acid.

Tar shampoos

For Psoriasis Prevention and for treating Psoriasis of the Scalp one should also use shampoos with tar such as Neutrogena® T/Gel Shampoo, Polytar® Shampoo, Alphosyl® Shampoo etc.

Tar shampoos are made from refined coal tar which is used in dermatology for external application. Tar slows the epidermal proliferation (rapid repeated production of new cells), removes dead cells from the scalp surface, and removes excess fat from the scalp. Tar shampoos are usually hypo-allergenic (they do not contain dyes, preservatives etc).

Gastrointestinal tract

It is noted that the chronic inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (gastritis, stomach ulcer, colitis etc.) and the liver (cholecystitis, dyskinesia of bile tracts etc.), as a rule, contribute to the appearance of psoriasis and to the insufficient effectiveness of psoriasis treatment. Therefore, it is important fist of all to normalize the disrupted functions of the digestive tract and liver with psoriasis.

The morphological structure of the mucous membrane of the small intestine in the people with psoriasis indicates the presence of chronic inflammatory processes with the thinning of the mucous membranes. It was also noted that the fermentation activity in the small intestine is oppressed.

This gives grounds for undergoing tests in order to confirm the state of your gastrointestinal tract and liver. And if anything is out of order - to undergo a corresponding therapy, which should also help in the Psoriasis Prevention.
