Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease in which patches of new cells develop and mature too quickly, thus causing reddened, inflamed lesions, and sometimes swollen areas covered with silver-white scales. There is no clear answer yet to what causes psoriasis. The direct cause of the symptoms is the over-stimulation of cell production, and there is some evidence found recently that psoriasis is an auto-immune skin disorder.

More than seven million people in America have psoriasis, mostly with mild cases. Both men and women get the disease, and it affects people across different cultural and ethnic origins. It can appear at any age. The average age of onset is in the mid-twenties; although, it has been seen in new-born babies, small children, and people as old as 90. Loma Lux® Psoriasis provides relief for the many annoying symptoms of psoriasis bringing an answer to itching, reddened skin, flaking and scaling wherever it occurs. One of the most difficult places to treat psoriasis is on the scalp. This problem can be relieved whenever it flares up with Loma Lux® Psoriasis. It provides relief of itching and ongoing relief of redness, scaling, crusting, and flaking with regular use.

There are several forms of psoriasis:

• Plaque Psoriasis: The most common symptoms of itchiness and sometimes irritation, with inflammation and lesions topped by silvery scales.
• Guttate Psoriasis: Usually affects children and young adults. It often starts after a sore throat with many small, red, scaly spots appearing on the skin.
• Inverse Psoriasis: Appears as a smooth inflamed lesions without scaling common in these parts of the body:
  (armpit, groin, under the breast).
• Erythrodermic Psoriasis: Is distinguished from the other forms by intense inflammation and sloughing of the skin.
• Pustular Psoriasis: Has lesions with fluid emerging and quite a lot of scaling.

Before and After pictures of people that have found the psoriasis answer using Loma Lux® Psoriasis:

The skin normally has two ways for producing cells: one is the normal rate of 28-30 days to maturity; the other is in response to a wound or trauma and is much faster. When the skin follows the normal growth pattern, dead cells are shed at about the same rate that new cells emerge to replace them. With psoriasis, the skin produces cells that mature in about a week, as if the body were responding to trauma. Since this creates too many cells, the signs and symptoms of psoriasis result. An increased blood supply comes to the skin surface, which causes the redness. The silvery white scales, called plaque, are dead cells which accumulate. Whatever the symptoms of psoriasis are (itching, redness, scaling, crusting or flaking) Loma Lux®Psoriasis was developed to relieve them while helping people with the disease to lead normal lives.

Psoriasis is not contagious, and it may appear and disappear during periods of flare-ups and remissions. Researchers now feel that there may be an inherited pre-disposition to the disease, or that it is triggered by factors like stress, certain drugs, respiratory illness, and even sunburn. The embarrassment of psoriasis is as unpleasant as the physical symptoms themselves, but you can help free yourself from both symptoms with easy-to-use Loma Lux® Psoriasis, maximum-strength formula and its convenient one dose, once-a-day treatment. Because Loma Lux® Psoriasis is taken orally, you don't run the risk of staining your skin or clothes since it works inside the body.

Ironically, the disease itself produces stress, which is why the effective and easy-to-use Loma Lux® Psoriasis is so important. With trustworthy Loma Lux® products which can be taken easily by mouth, psoriasis sufferers can rely on lasting relief of intense itching and other symptoms of the disease with regular use.

Psoriasis strikes both men and women, and it can appear anywhere on the body, most often on the knees, elbows, buttocks and scalp. The intense scalp itch and crusty build-up can be relieved with Loma Lux® Psoriasis. This maximum-strength formula is the strongest allowed without a prescription.

There have been cases of spontaneous remission, when psoriasis goes away and doesn't come back, but in general what happens is that it may disappear for a while and return again.
