DEVELOPMENT OF A STICK OINTMENT FORMULATION FOR THE TOPICAL TREATMENT OF PSORIASIS

Abstract

Psoriasis is an inflammatory disease that affects the skin, even though it is not contagious, it significantly harms the emotional well-being of patients, and symptoms can arise due to genetic, environmental and emotional factors. Although there is no cure, the disease can be controlled with different treatments that vary according to the severity of the case and other characteristics of the patient. Therefore, we carried out an experiment with the aim of creating a stick ointment to treat small psoriatic lesions, offering a practical and effective alternative to reduce the symptoms of the disease, aiming for a personalized treatment that addresses various aspects of psoriasis, we used clobetasol propionate, Liquor Carbonis Detergents, tea tree oil and jojoba oil, which are active ingredients intended to provide relief and improve symptoms. However, it is necessary to carry out tests to verify the feasibility of making the ointment available on the market.
