Psoriasis affects 7.5 million people in the United States. It is an autoimmune disease that causes red, scaly patches to appear on the skin and can show up anywhere on the body. Psoriasis affects people of all ages but it typically develops between the ages of 15 and 35. Psoriasis is not contagious; it is known that the immune system and genetics contribute to the cause. There is no cure for psoriasis, however available treatments reduce inflammation and itching.
There is a strong social stigma towards people with Psoriasis. The red, inflamed, scaly appearance of outbreaks is often offsetting causing patients to become self-conscious and depressed. The itchiness and joint pain some patients have due to their Psoriasis prevents them from partaking in everyday activities. Sernivo is the very first spray treatment for Psoriasis, allowing patients to treat hard to reach places with ease. Sernivo is a highly effective and very safe oil and water emulsion in a spray bottle. It has a light consistency unlike the typical heavy ointments that are used to treat outbreaks. Heavy ointments can ruin clothing and tend to sit on skin throughout the day. Sernivo dries quickly and is light on the skin. |
Over 1,500 dermatologists are prescribing Sernivo to their patients with mild to moderate Psoriasis. Highly regarded dermatologist, Dr. Joshua Zeichner is a huge advocate for Sernivo as well. The treatment decreases inflammation and decreases itching more effectively than any other treatment. It is to be used twice daily on patients 18 years or older.
