Ellen O. first manifested pustular psoriasis on the soles of her feet and palms of her hands in 1980. In
January 2003, the patient developed a severe outbreak of pustular psoriasis in the perinatal region and
upper thighs. On Late March 2003, the patient underwent skin biopsy of the affect areas. Then on
late April 2003, she underwent 3 more skin biopsies at Sunnybrook Hospital, Toronto. The results of
these biopsies confirmed the diagnosis of pustular psoriasis.
The biopsies didn't heal and her condition continued to worsen despite treatment
with various topical steroid creams and injections of cortisone. On August 20/03, the biopsy sites were severely infected and skin began falling off in pieces.
The patient was admitted to hospital and received antibiotics intravenously, discharged from the hospital on Aug. 28/03 and given 250 mg. Novo Lexin
4 x per day for 10 days. On Sept. 7/03, the patient received 2 more injections of cortisone. Her skin condition continued to
Deteriorate. Ellen then underwent treatments with antibiotics and various topical steroid creams
with little effect until January 2004. From January 2003 to January 2004, she was unable to sleep
due to burning and itching and found relief only from cold packs and cold water baths. In mid
January 2004, Ellen began using the Miraderm® psoriasis cream. Itching and burning subsided almost immediately with the application
of Miraderm® and skin began to show marked improvement after 8 weeks.
The patient continued using Miraderm® and her skin condition improved steadily yet the biopsies remained
unhealed. She was able to reduce application of cold packs and able to sleep for 5 hours per night
under the Miraderm® treatment. By July 2004, the patient's skin appeared normal with the exception of two biopsy sites still healing.
Miraderm® was the ONLY medication to clear the skin and provide relief of burning and itching but skin would still flare up occasionally
due to the remaining biopsy lesions. By September 2004, as the biopsy sites had not completely healed, the patient treated with minocin
antibotic 500 mg 2 times per day for biopsy sites and Miraderm® for psoriasis. Currently, Ellen continues to use Miraderm®, has stopped using
cold packs and is sleeping through the night without discomfort. Her skin feels normal, with no itching or burning, slight pink colour where
lesions existed and no new lesions forming.
Ellen's story demonstrates how effective Miraderm® is. Miraderm® not only controlled the symptoms of psoriasis,
but also helped REBUILD the skin structure lost from months of steroid treatments. Finally, Miraderm® was able to function with no side effects,
allowing the use of antibiotics to accelerate the healing of biopsy lesions.
