The therapeutic effects of solid oil were discovered by Rybakov about seventy years ago. A worker with psoriasis did not have this disease on his hands, since he was in contact with this substance all the time. Currently, solid oil is actively included in medicinal ointments, and is also added to homemade preparations for psoriasis. Rybakov created an ointment that is still used today due to its high effectiveness.
The composition of solid oil varies; it determines the type of substance. Different types are used to treat psoriasis, but the most recommended is medical. It is used on various areas of the skin and body - nail plates, hands, feet, even in the hair area. Patients choose Solidol because it has a low price, high availability and safety. The product effectively relieves the symptoms of the disease.
The effect of solid oil on psoriasis
Solidol is a thick, dark-colored product. The medicine contains the following components:
- Soap ingredients.
- Alkali.
- Fatty acid.
These components are thickeners for grease. The selected component in the product depends on its characteristics and type. There are two types of solid oil: technical and medical. The first, in turn, also has subspecies:
- Synthetic - obtained by adding synthetic components to ordinary solid oil.
- Fatty. The basis of this subspecies are vegetable oils.
Medical solid oil undergoes additional processing. It is used in drug formulations. The choice of this type is considered the best, since it contains fewer harmful substances that can harm the body. But finding it in pharmacies will be very difficult, so many people use technical solid oil. It can be bought at special enterprises or ordered.
Solidol is aimed at treating the following localization of psoriasis:
- Nails.
- Hairline.
- Limbs, body.
The product has gained appreciation due to its low cost, effectiveness, and availability. Compared to corticosteroids, which have many contraindications and side effects, this drug has a low health risk.
Using grease, you can achieve the following results:
- Thanks to the high absorption of solid oil, useful components reach hard-to-reach areas and effectively act on them, softening the skin and reducing the affected area.
- Eliminates the symptoms of the disease, that is, reduces the severity of itching and dry skin.
- Relieves inflammatory processes on the epidermis.
- Regenerates the skin, and in case of psoriasis, restores the structure of the nail plates.
- Treats the skin from the inside, relieves swelling.
- Destroys bacteria and disinfects the dermis.
- It permanently consolidates the result and delays relapses for a long time.
Psoriasis is treated both with ready-made medications containing solidol, and with those created at home; they are smeared on the skin in the same way as regular ones.
Psoriasis “doesn’t like” being irritated
Class Clinic
What is psoriasis from a medical point of view and how to permanently get rid of its symptoms - vulgar rashes that interfere with normal life and work? We talked about this with practicing dermatologist Polina Aleksandrovna Stepanova.
Many people, including those suffering from psoriasis, do not have a clear idea of what this disease is. Tell us how psoriasis occurs and what changes occur in the body?
Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-dependent inflammatory skin disease. The main reason for its occurrence is problems with immunity. This is a very common disease. The World Health Organization estimates that 2 to 4% of the world's population suffers from this disease.
Psoriasis begins to appear between the ages of 15 and 25 years. This disease affects the skin of the scalp, smooth skin, and the nail plates may be affected. Very often, psoriasis is associated with obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, and is often found with hepatitis, chronic kidney and gastrointestinal diseases.
With psoriasis, cell differentiation begins to become impaired, so-called keratinization occurs (inflammatory rashes with peeling of the skin appear). To put it simply, the structure, structure and chemical composition of skin cells changes, and cells that are not expected to grow normally grow.
Is this disease curable?
This disease always occurs in a chronic form; only long-term remission can be achieved. We treat him, relieve exacerbations and always try to prolong remission as much as possible.
What are the main risk factors for psoriasis?
The first one, I think, is hereditary. Of course, the environment has an influence; psoriasis occurs much more often in the Far North, etc. The influence of stress, smoking, drinking alcohol, and obesity is very significant. The latter must be excluded when treating the disease; for effective treatment, it is necessary to adhere to the correct lifestyle and diet.
What can make a patient’s condition with psoriasis worsen?
Alcohol has a particularly serious negative effect. Patients themselves often note that a glass or two can almost instantly provoke rashes and exacerbations of the disease. For long-term remission, it is necessary to eliminate provoking factors as much as possible.
Are there any rules for the treatment of psoriasis related to the course of the disease?
Psoriasis can occur in different ways; there are winter, summer and mixed forms of the disease. In the summer form, the sun is very harmful; as soon as the skin is exposed to prolonged exposure to sunlight, rashes appear. In winter, on the contrary, when the patient sunbathes, he feels much better, and rashes do not appear. With a mixed form, manifestations of the disease can appear regardless of sunlight and other climatic and calendar factors.
For winter forms, I recommend sanatorium-resort treatment in the summer; for summer forms, vice versa. The correct choice of season significantly affects the condition, in such cases the patient feels much better.
How to achieve long-term remission in psoriasis?
If we talk about the winter form, which is the most common, now there are treatment methods when we use ointments daily, and then, to maintain remission, we use ointments every other day, then 2 times a week, then 3-4 times a month. This is a must to keep your skin in good condition. It is necessary to understand that during an exacerbation the patient’s quality of life is seriously affected; a disease with such vulgar rashes brings social harm to the patient. Patients are often embarrassed to go to work or maintain social contacts. Therefore, schemes are being developed that can quickly extinguish the exacerbation. It is important to understand that psoriasis therapy, including the regimen that I have described, must be carried out by a doctor - this applies to any form.
What should a patient with psoriasis who wants to maintain the achieved effect of treatment do?
Be constantly examined, follow the recommendations, and, as I already said, lead a correct lifestyle and follow a diet. Once again I would like to draw your attention to the fact that it is necessary to exclude alcohol, smoking, and, if possible, stress. It is necessary to wear simple cotton clothes - psoriasis “does not like” being irritated. Another important point is the use of natural or hypoallergenic washing powders so as not to irritate the skin. When using coarse fabrics or aggressive household chemicals, microcracks and scratches may appear, they become irritated, and a rash will inevitably occur in these places.
There are a number of recommendations for skin care. There are special cosmetics that do not irritate the skin and moisturize it (gels, shampoos, etc.), you need to use them. I want to emphasize that with psoriasis, dry skin occurs, and moisturizing it during care helps prevent rashes.
There are folk remedies that supposedly help with psoriasis and are widely advertised - what do you think of these methods, are they effective?
Indeed, celandine is often used on the advice of friends or healers. But celandine juice greatly irritates the skin, which, as a rule, negatively affects the condition; after using celandine, a sharp aggravation occurs. I am convinced that any self-medication for psoriasis leads to disastrous consequences. According to advertising, I also do not recommend treatment to anyone; the likelihood that without a dermatologist you can achieve remission and not harm yourself is almost zero. Before prescribing any drug, a thorough examination is necessary. The doctor always prescribes tested, approved and proven drugs.

Causes of psoriasis
With this disease, cells begin to divide more quickly than they should. To this day, the causes of psoriasis have been little studied. It is believed that the formation of scaly plaques is associated with vascular diseases, but several factors lead to the development of the disease:
- errors in DNA (heredity appears);
- autoimmune response - the body aggressively perceives its skin (increased concentration of T-lymphocytes);
- improper functioning of the endocrine system (pituitary gland and thyroid gland);
- metabolic disorders (lipid and nitrogen metabolism disorders).
Doctors have been trying to solve the problem of treating psoriasis for many years. Timely consultation with a doctor and treatment of the disease will reduce the symptoms of the disease and significantly improve the quality of your life.

Psoriasis
- the disease is cyclical.
First, red-pink spots appear, which over time become one large conglomeration (merge). After 2-3 weeks, the growth of plaques stops and silvery scales appear. The last stage – the size of the plaques decreases. Remission
is coming .

- Colds;
- drinking alcohol and smoking;
- active sun;
- stressful situations;
- diseases of the endocrine system;
- the presence of psoriasis in relatives;
- diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and especially the liver;
- chronic infections.

Press grease
Let's remember the old name: grease. The word form “grease pot” comes from it. This is a special valve (grease nipple) in a mechanical part through which lubricant is injected into the assembly. There is a special syringe-supercharger for this procedure. It creates the necessary pressure, and the grease lubricates the mechanism.
Of course, such work requires special lubricant. Ordinary solid oil or lithol are not able to effectively penetrate narrow cavities, especially at low temperatures. Given the lack of visual control of the filling of the unit with lubricant, a guarantee of high-quality processing is required.
Press grease has suitable properties. The main characteristics are similar to the usual composition:
However, the manufacturer has made some changes:
- solid oil press is less viscous, while maintaining plasticity;
- the temperature threshold has been increased to (+80°C), after which the decomposition of the material begins.
Ointment, cream “Antipsoriasis” (“Antipsor”)
Several varieties of the drug are produced, having a herbal composition, including grease. For psoriasis, the medicine is used in two ways. The first method involves treating the skin, in which the product is applied in a thin layer 2-3 times per hour. The procedure is carried out in the evening. After the composition is absorbed in the morning, its remnants are washed off with warm water. In the evening, the skin is treated again.
The second method consists of twice daily application of the drug for 3 days. After a one-day break, the treatment is repeated. Manufacturers warn about possible exacerbations of psoriasis in the first week of using the product. After 2-3 weeks of use, all patients experienced significant improvements in skin health. Plaques and psoriatic spots disappear after a few months.
Some types of grease ointments
There are many pharmaceutical products that contain solid oil. In addition to the main component, they include plant and mineral elements.
Here are some of the ointments:
- Magnipsor. Includes plant extracts.
- Antipsoriasis. Contains solid oil, crab chitin, Far Eastern herbs, and Pacific shellfish.
- Kartalin. Includes honey, salicylic acid, vitamins A, D, chamomile, eucalyptus and lavender oils, string, lysozyme.
- Cytopsor. Solid oil is combined with mineral and organic elements.
Expected effects
Effective treatment produces the following results:
- the patient gets rid of itching, peeling and burning;
- the inflammatory process in the affected areas gradually decreases and then completely disappears;
- the area of affected areas is reduced;
- plaques heal and the appearance of new ones stops;
