Indications
Neurodermatitis (atopic eczema, endogous eczema, atopic dermatitis):
chronic skin disease where the skin reacts overly sensitive to inner or outer factors. Neurodermatitis, hay fever and allergic asthma represent together the atopic cycle. Neurodermatitis often already starts in early childhood from 6 months onwards and can regularly reoccur for the rest of life, or with beginning of puberty completely disappear. In Germany some 10-15% of all pupils are more or less affected by neurodermatitis, with increasing tendency. Main symptoms are dry skin and itchiness, an increased tendency to inflame that is based on changed conditions of the skin own protection system, an increased penetrability of irritants and a decreased ability to ward off skin infections. Stress and sweat are intensifying these symptoms. For more detailed information please visit: http://neurodermitis.dermis.net/content
Neurodermatitis can not be cured but its symptoms can be successfully treated. The treatment includes a continuous and suited skin care, which is specifically designed to support the needs of the skin - like for example all products of the sebamed Dry Skin range or the sebamed Pharmacy Sensitive range.
Psoriasis:
chronic skin disease, which in severe cases also affects joints or inner organs. Psoriasis is appearing in attacks. Between these attacks the skin can regain its normal condition. Attacks can be caused by climatic influences, injuries, stress, infection, irritants, medication, alcohol, etc. 1-2% of the German population is suffering from psoriasis. Most of the time, psoriasis is appearing in a milder form which is expressed as white and dry flaking of the scalp.
Due to maturation disorders of skin cells, red areas appear that soon are covered with dead horny cells in form of silver looking dandruff. Is the dandruff removed, very thin skin is appearing. The cracking of this thin skin leads to point-like bleeding, a typical sign of psoriasis. Psoriasis can also affect finger and finger nails. Normally psoriasis does not itch, except on the scalp.

Psoriasis can not be cured, but can be treated successfully. Persistent skin care can help to postpone attacks. During an attack adjusted skin care can ideally support the medical treatment. As psoriasis affected skin is predominantly dry all sebamed Dry Skin products are ideal. In case of severe dryness sebamed Pharmacy Sensitive should be used.
Acne:
disease of tallow glands affecting 80% of the German population. There is a high likelihood of inheriting acne. Men are affected more than women. Acne can also appear later in life, in the 20s, 30s or even 40s.
Male hormones increase the tallow production of tallow glands. The skin cells of follicle wands show maturation disorders and are lumping. Tallow and horny cell lumps are clogging the pore openings. That way, a comedo is produced. Is certain skin bacteria propagating in these clogged pores inflammation is accruing and blisters and blackheads are caused. It can be distinguished between acne comdeonica and acne papulo-pustulosa. Severe forms of acne such as acne conglabata, acne inversa or acne fulminans are rare. Acne cosmetica is caused by the usage of greasy care products.
Acne occurring in puberty disappears by itself when turning 20. For treatment of more severe acne a large amount of approved medications is available on the market. Slighter forms of acne can be treated with the right skin care. Mild skin cleansing and care is a prerequisite. Ideally, grease free and soap free products with a pH value of 5.5 should be used. Medication and skin care products need several weeks in order to restore the skin's health, thus reduce acne. For a fast cure, anti blemish gel, cream or pen can be applied onto the blister.
