Rising Cost of Psoriasis Treatment

According to the Archives of Dermatology, 'findings suggest that expenses for systemic psoriasis therapy appear to be increasing at a faster rate than inflation, and newer biologically derived treatments are more expensive than traditional systemic therapies, according to a report in the January issue of Archives of Dermatology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects an estimated 4.5 million to 7.5 million Americans, costing the health care industry approximately more than $3 billion annually, according to background information in the article. The severity of the disease varies, as do the therapies—some patients with mild, localized disease can use creams or other topical agents, whereas those with more extensive disease typically require phototherapy (exposure to ultraviolet light) or systemic therapies (substances that travel through the bloodstream, such as oral medications).'

One cost effective solution may be Psoriasis-Ltd. Psoriasis-Ltd III costs $88.00 which includes taxes and air postage throughout the world.

What is Psoriatic Arthritis?

Less than 10% of people with psoriasis have Psoriatic Arthritis. Its treatment often requires consultation with a rheumatologist in addition to treatment of the skin lesions by a dermatologist. It occurs most frequently in psoriasis patients whose disease is active, especially in persons with the pustular type of psoriasis.
Occasionally it appears in a person who has no dermatologic signs or symptoms of psoriasis, in which case it must be diagnosed by its unique laboratory test results.
Psoriasis of the fingernails and toenails is associated with a higher incidence of psoriatic arthritis. Symptoms of psoriatic arthritis resemble those of rheumatoid arthritis, although the diseases are otherwise quite different.
Arthritis changes cause deterioration and pain in small joints of the hands and feet, large joints of the legs and spine, and tendons.
Nonspecific foot pain or "tennis elbow" may be an early symptom to appear and may be overlooked if not associated with psoriatic skin or nail lesions.

Controlling Psoriasis Itching

General measures to relieve itching of psoriasis include:

Keep your skin cool; warmth tends to make itching worse.

Wear light clothing for coolness and to avoid scratchy pressure against your skin. Avoid skin irritants in fabrics such as denim and corduroy, tight clothing, and sometimes even wool and silk. Cotton clothing is recommended as much as possible.
Launder clothing with mild soap or detergent (Dreft, Ivory Snow, certain sans-additive detergents such as Tide Free). Use no additives such as enzymes, fabric softeners. Wash new clothing prior to wearing.

Keep your skin moisturized with a light emollient recommended by your dermatologist, as dry skin tends to be more prone to itching. Moisturizers can be applied to the affected psoriasis areas as frequently as required to relieve itching, scaling and dryness. Moisturizers should also be used on the unaffected skin to reduce dryness. Moisturize therapy helps to restore one of the skin's most important functions, which is to form a barrier to prevent bacteria and viruses getting into the body and therefore help to prevent a rash becoming infected. Moisturizers are safe and rarely cause an allergic reaction.Occasionally, products with lanolin may cause a reaction. Ideally, moisturizers should be applied three to four times a day. Apply in a gentle downward motion in the direction of hair growth to prevent accumulation of cream around the hair follicle (this can cause infection of the follicle).
