How to use

To achieve high results when using Cytopsor, instructions have been developed:

1. Pre-clean the dermis of fat and dirt, apply a small layer over the entire affected surface. Rubbing is not recommended to avoid causing discomfort and pain.
2. If Cytopsor ointment is used for the first time, minor side symptoms may occur in the form of burning or itching. After a short period of time, they are eliminated on their own.
3. With constant use, over time the affected areas peel off. It is strongly recommended not to remove them mechanically, so as not to further injure the damaged skin.
4. Over the course of 5 weeks, symptoms begin to gradually subside. The duration of recovery directly depends on the extent to which the disease manifests itself.

Attention, before using the drug Cytopsor, be sure to make an appointment and consult with your treating specialist - a dermatologist.

The ointment must be applied three times a day for two weeks to 40 days. For the entire period of treatment, it is recommended to avoid unhealthy, fried foods, as well as the consumption of alcoholic beverages. It is also not recommended to consume allergenic foods: chocolate, coffee, sweets and pastries.

It will help to achieve optimal results by using:

1. Fermented milk products (yogurt, kefir). It allows you to restore normal functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and get rid of harmful microbes.
2. Fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins.
3. To cleanse the gastrointestinal tract from the accumulation of harmful toxins and wastes, it is recommended to consume as much fiber as possible.

Taking a shower is acceptable, but long visits to the bathroom and steaming the skin are not recommended. Based on patient reviews, statistics were compiled: more than 93% were able to achieve remission for a long period of time.

Instructions for use

The instructions for using Cytopsora are quite simple; you can use the product for treatment at home. The drug is used externally only.

So, how to use the drug?

1. Take a shower or thoroughly rinse the affected areas of the skin with plenty of running water. Dry the skin with a soft towel, do not rub under any circumstances. It is not recommended to take a bath during treatment.
2. Apply the preparation in a thin layer, lightly rubbing it into the epidermis. It is not recommended to perform physical effort.

   

3. It is not advisable to disturb the treated skin or scalp for 15 minutes, as the treatment must be completely absorbed to begin its effect.

The ointment, according to the instructions for use, must be used one to three times a day, depending on the severity of the pathological process and the clinical picture of the disease.

The duration of the main course of treatment can vary from 2 to 6 weeks, depending on the severity of psoriasis. Sometimes, for example, with an advanced form of the disease, it becomes necessary to repeat the course of treatment after a short break.

Before using the ointment, you need to cleanse the skin; if Cytopsor is used on the head, you need to wash it first. The cream is applied in a thin layer to the area where there are inflammatory processes. If the scalp area is damaged, you need to carefully move the hair away so that the medication does not get on it.

Cytopsor does not need to be rubbed into the surface; it is necessary to spread a thin layer over the entire skin where the disease appears. Due to its structure, the ointment is absorbed into the skin itself.

At first, when using the medication, the patient experiences unpleasant symptoms - itching, redness or tingling. This is not a side effect; the patient must understand that this effect occurs due to the composition of the medication.

There is no need to refuse treatment; unpleasant symptoms go away on their own after some time. In addition, you cannot remove heavily keratinized areas of skin yourself. You need to wait until they disappear on their own.

Redness on the surface disappears after 3-5 weeks. However, the recovery process may take longer, depending on the stage of development of the disease. It is necessary to use the ointment until the plaques completely disappear.

Recommendations for treatment:

• You should not eat chocolate, citrus fruits, honey, eggs, or dairy products.
• It is also not recommended to eat fatty and spicy foods, and avoid sour and fried foods.
• Showering must be taken daily, and it is advisable to perform the procedure twice a day.
• It is forbidden to wash damaged areas of the skin with a washcloth; also, the shower gel should be replaced with glycerin or baby soap.

In cases where psoriasis is severe, the ointment should be applied to the damaged areas of the skin three times a day. You should also not drink alcohol, as this will reduce the therapeutic effect.

Advantages

Among the main advantages of using Cytopsor are the following aspects:

• Contains only natural ingredients that help achieve a lasting positive effect.
• There is no need to completely give up taking a bath.
• During use it does not leave greasy marks.
• Promotes faster achievement of effect.
• Has an anti-inflammatory effect on the condition of the epidermis.
• Helps maintain and restore the lipid layer.
• Helps restore skin elasticity, maintain its youth and prevent premature aging.

The patient begins to feel visible improvements, new plaques stop appearing, irritation and a number of other unpleasant symptoms decrease.

It is easy to eliminate excess drug residues from the skin, and it is also possible to use the drug alone or in combination with other means in the fight against psoriasis. The only nuance that each patient notices is a specific smell. However, for the sake of an effective and positive result, it can be tolerated.

Another nuance that should be noted is the high cost of the drug. Depending on the region, the cost can range from 1300-2000 rubles. However, it is absolutely justified due to the absence of chemical additives and synthetic substances, which often cause an allergic reaction. If all recommendations are followed, there is a high probability of achieving sustainable remission.

The ointment has an oily consistency, therefore it promotes accelerated healing of papules.

The compositional features allow the drug to be used at the progressive, regressive, and also stationary stages of the disease.

The use of the healing composition is allowed even with severe manifestations of the disease.

Cytopsor is also used for the development of psoriatic manifestations on the scalp.

Despite the high cost, many experts recommend its use due to its natural composition, which in rare cases causes side symptoms and discomfort.

In order not to harm the epidermis, it is also not recommended to scratch the crusts that form on top of the plaques as a result of applying the ointment, and to independently change the dosage of using the drug.
