Psoriasis Is A Fungus
I have a patchy skin condition for years, what is it?
I have some rashes on my legs that have been there for almost 6 years. I have been to the doctor. He put my leg up to a special light and said it wasn't fungus. He diagnosed it as Dermatitis, and prescribed me prescription cortizone which I used as directed for a few weeks, and did not help it. The patches are pale red, thicker than the surrounding skin, flaky looking, very itchy at times, and sometimes not.
My skin, in general, is very dry and sensitive and the rash is only on my lower legs. I do wear pants most of the time. However, even when I was going to tanning beds, the condition was not better than it is now. The patches bounce around alot. I've started to get very small patches on my thighs and torso. I have no idea what it is. My boyfriend has psoriasis, and it looks like his condition, but isn't nearly as severe. It only has morphology (appearance) that is similar.
I'll be thankful for any advice I can get. Hopefully someone has had a similar condition. Thanks.
I have eczema, and I think you have the same thing. Welcome!
The other person is right, that the cream prescribed to you might not have been right for you. However, eczema can be a lifelong condition -- consisting of flares and recessions (that doesn't mean it'll disappear completely, mind you) -- that some grow out of (but that I grew INto, bleh).
It's a very individualistic condition, but things you will/may need are:
1. A good moisturizer
2. possibly a steroid cream/ointment that you are sure not to overuse, as this may thin your skin
Long-term oral steroids can do damage to your system, though used in the short-term they can be kinda helpful. I don't think yours sounds so severe.
These jumping patches can also be due to environmental causes such as soaps, detergents, and shampoos you're using as well. You might try different soaps with less chemicals and see if you notice any change (i.e. castille soap or Free and Clear Shampoo or Ecover items).
Finally, a second opinion never hurt. A combination of dermatologists finally lead me to throw out my Suave shampoo after I developed allergic contact dermatitis (in addition to the atopic dermatitis I already had!) to it. 
Good luck, and let me know if you have any other questions (if you think I can help, heh)!
Organic Treatment For Nail Fungus
Skin has many functions, including protection from bacteria and other invaders, insulation, sweat, sensation, and vitamin D and B synthesis. Without skin we would not be able to function as we do. The condition of our skin tells a lot about our health and habits. Drinking plenty of water, eating healthy foods, and exercising regularly are the best ways to ensure healthy skin.
Dermatosis is a generic term describing any of the diseases of the skin not characterized by the presence of inflammation. It is often acquired through the contact of hazardous material and can be prevented through proper protective measures. An ulcer is an open sore of the skin, eyes, or mucous membrane, usually caused by an initial abrasion and maintained by inflammation and infection.
Ulcers affect the integrity of the area in which they occur and are accompanied by secondary infection, generalized weakness, and lengthy healing time. Most diabetic ulcers occur on the foot and the leg and are caused by vascular deficiencies. Skin breakdown due to injury or trauma and pressure on the nail bed also can cause ulcers. Diabetics are specifically prone to ulcers because of their low potential to heal from injury.
Approximately 3 million Americans suffer from psoriasis, an inflammation of the skin that is most likely caused by an autoimmune response against the body's own skin cells. The build-up of skin cells results in thick, dry, scaly patches, which are usually red and itchy. Psoriasis is an inherited disorder, and therefore not contagious.
The condition can be exacerbated by injuries and irritations that might stimulate an immune response, as well as certain medications, infections, stress, cold climate, consuming too much alcohol, and obesity. Rosacea is inflammation of the skin that causes redness of the face. It is characterized by small, red, pus-filled bumps or pustules and is often mistaken for acne. Adult acne is another common term for rosacea.
The cause of rosacea remains unknown. Rosacea usually affects adults with fair skin between the ages of 30 and 60. The Mayo Clinic estimates that about 14 million Americans have this skin condition. If left untreated, rosacea tends to get worse over time, but it often remains cyclic, with occasional flare ups. Once diagnosed, rosacea is easily treatable.
Nail fungus is a fungal infection of the nails, more commonly those on the toes. Approximately 6-8 percent of the adult population is affected by this condition. Fungi called dermatophytes are usually responsibly for this infection. Once contracted, nail fungus is extremely difficult to remove completely. The incidence of nail fungus is increasing with no real satisfactory cure.
Treatment is often very difficult. Skin is comprised of the epidermis, and the dermis which is referred to as the true skin. The epidermis has 7 layers which protect and surrounds the true skin. Because the true skin is the reservoir of nourishment, it is the area where many dermatological problems exist, including fungal infections.
This is why chemical solutions are often caustic and rather invasive, and usually more ineffective than effective. Once a cell is infected with fungus it is difficult to selectively inhibit the infection without harming the host cell. As a result, much interest has focused on the anti fungal properties of certain plants as strong allies in restoring health and inhibiting fungal infections.
As the antifungal properties of NailFungus have the demonstrated ability to penetrate all layers of the skin and enter the blood stream via topical application they have received considerable attention. This topical anti fungal agent delivers a broad spectrum of action against fungi causing nail fungus, meaning it kills the fungus and acts as a curative agent.
The therapeutic action of NailFungusCure is accomplished via its rapid absorption into nails and nail beds. The certified organic antifungal essential oils in NailFungusCure are lipophilic (easily absorbed by the skin tissue) and have a low molecular weight. This allows them to pass easily into nails and nail beds, where they attack and destroy the fungus.
The use of medicinal plants is taking an increasingly greater role in the treatment of nail fungus as conventional medicine has few effective solutions. Created by competent scientists, this nail fungus treatment provides real opportunities to safely eliminate nail fungus with encouraging measurable results.
