Inverse
Psoriasis appears as smooth inflamed lesions without scaling; it
is called inverse because it appears on parts of the body that
curve inward (armpit, groin, under the breast) and is usually
present with bigger or obese people.
Erythrodermic Psoriasis is
distinguished from the other forms by intense inflammation and
sloughing of the skin, and Pustular Psoriasis, or Psoriasis
pustulosa, has lesions with fluid emerging and quite a lot of
scaling.
There are two
forms of Pustular Psoriasis. The first, and worse, is
called Von Zumbusch, and refers to pustular presence over the
entire body. The other form is called Andrews-Barber whereby the
pustules only show themselves at feet and or hands. This form
occurs more often in women and is being associated with smoking.
Psoriasis capitis, or scalp psoriasis, affects the hairy parts
of the human head usually in combination with Psoriasis Vulgaris
presence on other parts of the body. Scalp Psoriasis does not
have an influence to hair quality or hair growth.
Psoriasis unguium refers to
psoriasis under the nails. One or more nails, on hand or feet or
on both, can be affected. The psoriasis forms pits in the
affected nails associated with some brown discoloring of the
nails. In the worse case the nail removes it-self from its bed.
Psoriasis arthropathica or arthritis psoriatica are a relatively
seldom form of Psoriasis. This form of psoriasis does not only
affect the skin but also creates infections in the joints. These
infections are clinically different to those associated with
rheumatic arthritis. In some cases one has the experience of the
infection of the joints only and no skin infections.
Whatever the symptoms, itching, redness, scaling, crusting or
flaking, the Bio-Force® line
has been created to relieve them, while helping people with the
disease to lead normal lives. For
instance, instead of coal tar
or steroids, Bio-Force®
products use salicylic acid, allantoin and a unique range of
peroxidized natural oils as active ingredients, which prevent,
regress and
delay the rate of epidermal cell division and multiplication
and, consequently prevent the loss of protein delaying the
overall psoriasis process. Unlike coal tar, Bio-Force®
medications have no obtrusive color or unpleasant door. Coal
tar also sometimes leaves stains on skin and/or clothing and has
many other disadvantages with long term applications.
