Researchers at the University of Copenhagen have created an innovative nanofiber patch that simplifies and improves psoriasis treatment. Psoriasis with frequent application of creams and ointments often leads to inconsistent treatment.
Key features:
- Convenient application: The patch reduces application frequency to once daily.
- Dual-action treatment: It releases salicylic acid quickly to remove dead skin and hydrocortisone slowly to reduce inflammation.
- Proven efficacy: Tests show it is as effective as standard treatments.
Potential:
Made using electrospinning technology, the patch delivers treatment directly to the skin. Researchers believe it could also treat other conditions like eczema and aid wound healing. The patch is still in development, requiring further research and clinical trials before public availability.
