Company description

What is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a non-contagious chronic skin disorder that is seen as scaly plaques on the skin. The Psoriasis appears as an elevated red plaque that is covered by a silvery dry scale. It affects one to two percent of the world population.
A normal skin cell matures in 28 - 30 days. In Psoriasis cells move to the top of the skin in three days. The excessive skin cells that are produced "heap up" and form the elevated red, scaly plaques that characterize Psoriasis. The white scale that covers the red plaque is composed of dead cells that are continually being cast off. The redness of the plaques is caused by the increased blood supply necessary to feed this area of dividing skin cells
Vitiligo?
Melanin, the pigment that determines color of skin, hair and eyes, is produced in cells called melanocytes. If these cells die or cannot form melanin, the skin becomes lighter or completely white. Vitiligo is a chronic pigmentation disorder or a skin condition of white patches resulting from loss of pigment. Pigment cells (melanocytes) are killed in areas due to an auto-immune reaction (white blood cells and anti-bodies against own pigment cells).
What is Eczema?
Eczema is an endogenic chronic, recurring itching skin condition with genetic predisposition. This means that the disease is always present, even though flares may come and go. The symptoms of eczema include dry, inflamed skin and intense itching. Chromosome 11 and 5 predicts the tendency and is part of the atopic syndrome of atopic eczema, hay fever, sinusitis, asthma, keratosis pilarus and allergies of ear, nose and throat. Eczema flares happen because the immune cells in an eczema sufferer's skin overreact to certain triggers. Therefore it is very helpful to identify and avoid exposure to those triggers.
