The ingredients in XerioCream (Greentech EGX244 and EGX251) have a high ability to fix water and hold it at the surface of the skin by preserving the cutaneous lipidic balance and improving healing. The combination of the specially selected ingredients stimulate micro-circulation while tightening the tiny blood vessels thus increasing the supply of water to the epidermis. XerioCream reduces inflammation and inhibit infective bacteria in certain skin conditions, thus making it invaluable for use in inflammatory skin conditions such as psoriasis.
WHAT IS PSORIASIS
Psoriasis is a skin condition in which red scaly patches develop and show on the skin. These areas are most common on the scalp, elbows and knees, but they can occur on any area of the body. When the patches are on the scalp and in body fold areas, the skin is often itchy, but many people with psoriasis do not feel itchy at all. The main problems caused by these patches are by shedding scales and by showing on the skin where they can be seen. Fortunately, psoriasis is unlikely to affect the face, and usually occurs on areas covered by clothes.
WHAT CAUSES PSORIASIS?
It is known that the skin in psoriasis patches is growing much quicker than normal skin. In all of us, the epidermis (the outer layer of the skin) grows continuously from its outer surface, and a new layer is reformed each month. In psoriasis, the skin reforms a complete layer each 3-4 days – so that extra skin must shed in scales. This process is similar to healing of the epidermis after an injury – except that normal skin ‘knows when to slow down and psoriasis skin does not’. However the actual chemical cause of psoriasis is not known. There have been many scientific experiments performed looking for the cause, but so far changes found seem to result from the rapid growth. Sometimes (but not certainly always) psoriasis can run in families, and so it is likely that there are inherited properties causing a “tendency” to the condition. If a person has this tendency, an accident or nervous shock, or some germ infections, can set off the condition and make it appear on the skin.
Though psoriasis signs and symptoms vary from person to person, psoriasis types are typically identified by their hallmark appearance.
