Psoriasis Treatment in Cuba

Psoriasis is a chronic skin disorder in which the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues, causing red patches covered with silvery-white scales. It affects approximately 1–3% of the global population. While it often begins in the 30s, it can appear at any age, even from birth. About 30% of cases have a family history of the disease.

In Cuba, one of the most effective treatments for psoriasis is Coriodermina, a topical, water-soluble gel developed from human placenta by Dr. Carlos Miyares Cao. Coriodermina has demonstrated high effectiveness, with more than 75% of patients experiencing full recovery. Its success is based on its ability to regulate the overproduction of epidermal cells and neutralize cytokines and neuropeptides—molecules responsible for cell communication.

Coriodermina is applied directly to psoriatic lesions and absorbed by the dermis—the skin’s middle layer, which plays a key role in defending against heat, light, infection, and injury. The treatment’s effectiveness depends on factors such as the patient’s age, the extent of affected skin, the duration of the disease, and the correct application of the medication.

Coriodermina is considered safe for children, pregnant and breastfeeding women, and the elderly, with no reported side effects.

During the initial consultation in Cuba, patients undergo a medical evaluation to determine the percentage of skin affected and to calculate the required amount of medication. Doctors also provide detailed guidance on the characteristics of the disease and how to use the treatment properly.
