Psoriasis Treatment in Cuba

In Cuba, Coriodermina, a topical, water-soluble gel developed by Dr. Carlos Miyares Cao using human placenta, is considered one of the most effective treatment methods for psoriasis. Cuba’s natural and innovative medical approaches provide an alternative to conventional drugs, enabling a side-effect-free and long-term healing process.

The success of the psoriasis gel lies in its ability to regulate the speed of epidermal cell growth and neutralize cytokines and neuropeptides (molecules responsible for cell communication).

The gel is applied directly to psoriatic lesions and absorbed by the dermis (the skin’s middle layer, which acts as the first defense against heat, light, infections, and injuries).
The effectiveness of Coriodermina (Cuban psoriasis gel) depends on the patient’s age, the area affected, the duration of the disease, and proper application. It has been proven safe for use in children, pregnant and breastfeeding women, and the elderly, with no reported side effects.

What is Psoriasis?

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy skin cells. Under normal conditions, skin cells renew themselves at a steady rate, but in psoriasis, this process happens up to 10 times faster. As a result, red, inflamed, and scaly plaques appear on the skin’s surface.

This disease can result from a combination of genetic predisposition, immune system disorders, and environmental factors. Triggers such as stress, certain infections, smoking, and alcohol consumption can worsen the condition. Although psoriasis is a lifelong condition and cannot be completely cured, it can be managed effectively with appropriate treatments to reduce symptoms.

Symptoms of Psoriasis

Symptoms vary from person to person, but the most common ones include:

• Redness and Scaling: Red plaques covered with white or silver scales appear on the skin surface.
• Itching and Burning Sensation: Intense itching, burning, and irritation are common.
• Thickened Skin Plaques: The skin becomes thicker and harder, often appearing on the elbows, knees, scalp, and back.
• Nail Changes: Pitting, discoloration, and thickening of the nails can occur.
• Joint Pain and Stiffness: Some individuals may also experience psoriatic arthritis, an inflammation of the joints.

Symptoms and severity vary depending on the individual’s immune response and environmental triggers.

What Causes Psoriasis?

While the exact cause of psoriasis remains unknown, immune system irregularities and genetic predisposition are considered the primary factors. Normally, the immune system protects the body against infections, but in psoriasis, it mistakenly attacks healthy skin cells, accelerating skin cell renewal.

Common causes of psoriasis include:

• Genetic Predisposition: Those with a family history of psoriasis are more likely to develop the disease.
• Immune System Disorders: Autoimmune diseases can cause the immune system to malfunction.
• Stress and Psychological Factors: Stress is a major trigger for the onset or flare-up of psoriasis.
• Smoking and Alcohol Consumption: These substances can impair immune function and contribute to disease progression.
• Certain Medications: Beta-blockers, lithium, some antimalarial drugs, and sudden withdrawal of corticosteroids can trigger psoriasis.
• Skin Injuries and Infections: Cuts, burns, or serious infections can trigger psoriasis through a mechanism known as the Koebner phenomenon.

Is Psoriasis Contagious?

No, psoriasis is not contagious. It does not spread from one person to another through physical contact. Since it is an autoimmune disease, it occurs due to an overreaction of the person’s own immune system.
However, there is a common misconception in society that psoriasis is contagious. This belief can negatively affect patients’ social lives. Raising awareness is essential to prevent patients from facing social stigma.
While psoriasis is not contagious, the risk of occurrence is higher among family members due to genetic predisposition.
