What is Dermalex Psoriasis Treatment?
Dermalex Psoriasis Treatment is a treatment that is designed to provide relief for the effects of psoriasis. It works by normalising the skin cell production which has been affected by the condition. Besides this, this treatment will also restore the skin barrier that has become damaged as a result of psoriasis. This is unlike other treatments which are emollients that moisturise the skin.
What is psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a skin condition that can affect anyone and there is no known cure for. The reason for its occurrence is unknown, but research suggests that it could be caused by the immune system attacking the healthy skin cells. This is said to cause increased skin cell production and as a result, psoriasis occurs. Psoriasis is characterised by red, flaky, crusty patches of skin that scales of skin as well.
Who is this psoriasis treatment suitable for?
This treatment is suitable to be used by adults and children aged 14 and over. It should not be used by anyone who is allergic to the ingredients contained in the treatment. If you are using any other form of medication, speak to a doctor or Chemist 4 U pharmacist before using.
Can someone who is pregnant or breastfeeding use this cream?
Anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding should consult a medical professional before using.
How should Dermalex PsoriasisTreatment be used?
Before applying, clean the skin with lukewarm water. Apply the cream onto the skin when it is still damp. Do this 2-3 times a day. This cream can be used for as long as it is needed. When possible, wear loose-fitting clothing made of natural fibres, as this will help with absorption. Do not use on cracked or on open wounds.
Are there any side effects?
When first applying this treatment, there may be a burning or tingling sensation on the skin. If you notice any other side effect, stop using and speak to a doctor or Chemist 4 U pharmacist as soon as possible. You can also record any side effect that you notice using the MHRA Yellow Card Scheme.
