New York, NY (PRWEB) June 06, 2013

Four in 10 psoriasis patientsincluding 25 percent of moderate to severe patientscurrently are not under the care of a physician for their condition, according to new research conducted by Kantar Health, a leading global healthcare consulting firm.

Results from a survey conducted among psoriasis patients in the U.S. show that while most patients who do see a physician for their psoriasis are satisfied with the medical care they receive, about one-third have stopped seeing a physician because of their dissatisfaction with their psoriasis treatment or progress. As disease severity increases, these patients are more likely to have changed physicians multiple times.

Patients who are dissatisfied with the care they receive cited their physicians inability to provide effective treatment as the primary reason for their dissatisfaction. Only four out of 10 claim to have a satisfactory level of clearing of their psoriasis plaques, with those using prescription treatments being the most satisfied with clearing but still falling short of their expectations. Furthermore, some patients also mentioned their physician had a lack of attention, emotional support or empathy as contributing to their dissatisfaction.

Physician advice is far and away the greatest influence on how psoriasis is treated, said Rose Lorenzo, director of research at Kantar Health. However, a relatively large number of moderate to severe patients are declining to see a doctor about their disease, and those who are being treated are much more likely to be dissatisfied with their physicians. Its important for physicians to set more realistic expectations on the level of psoriasis clearance they are likely to experience to help close the gap between expectations and treatment satisfaction.

The studys results were drawn from the Psoriasis Syndicated Patient Study, a nationally representative, self-administered survey. Topics covered include the health status, attitudes, behaviors and patient-reported outcomes among adults diagnosed with psoriasis.

Anaheim, CA (PRWEB) June 04, 2013

TriDerma, a maker of specialized skin care, announced the launch of its new Psoriasis Control Shampoo, a medical strength shampoo that helps provide fast relief for the itchy and scaly scalp that are symptoms of psoriasis, dandruff and dermatitis.

Psoriasis can affect any skin surface and is marked by a build-up of skin cells called scales. Patches of skin affected by psoriasis become itchy, dry, red, and sometimes painful. It is estimated that half of the 7.5 million Americans with psoriasis are affected by scalp psoriasis. It can appear as one or multiple patches on the scalp, affect the entire scalp, and spread beyond the scalp to the forehead, back of the neck, or behind the ears. It can be difficult to treat psoriasis of the scalp because of the difficulty applying topical psoriasis treatments to the affected area.

TriDerma Psoriasis Control Shampoo contains 3% salicylic acid. Salicylic Acid, approved by the FDA as a treatment for psoriasis, gently exfoliates flakes and scales, and helps relieve itching, redness and irritation due to psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis. Healing botanicals in the companys proprietary AP4 Genuine Virgin Aloe complex are naturally anti-inflammatory and moisturizing to help relieve and prevent flaking and scaling. Specialized itch-fighting ingredients help stop the urge to scratch. Nourishing botanicals, Pro Vitamin B5 and Vitamin E help promote healthy scalp and hair. TriDerma also added a botanical color protectant, so the shampoo is safe for color-treated hair.

TriDerma has over ten years of experience in the psoriasis segment with its Psoriasis Control Skin Healing Cream. Holly Ahearn, Director of Research and Development at TriDerma, says, Psoriasis Control Shampoo was created in response to customer demand for a shampoo that does not smell like medicine, targets psoriasis symptoms, and also makes hair look great. Psoriasis Control Shampoo is an exclusive salon formula. Ms. Ahearn says it is formulated like a luxurious salon treatment, leaving hair soft and manageable, looking beautiful and smelling fresh and clean.

TriDerma Psoriasis Control Shampoo can be ordered online at http://www.triderma.com.
