Skin Problems

The dermatological ailments who find benefits from the thermal therapy of the island of Vulcano are essentially two:  

  • ACNE.
  • PSORIASI.

In the first case, the patient must put masks of mud on the face, after a careful visit and a precise diagnosis. The high sulphur content in fact, while it is very useful for grease skins, it is much less for the dried ones. It is a good idea to do before, during and after the treatment a skin check-up to assess the degree of hydration of the same, and above all the changes in the percentage of sebum. During the days of application it is recommended a basic cosmetics to improve moisturizing of the skin.
The mask will be held for ten to fifteen minutes and then removed by washing with abundant fresh water.
In the second case we talk about a little more delicate disease, it deserves all our attention. In patients suffering from psoriasis, usually it is recommended the  full immersion in the mud for about twenty minutes, then the patient must have a shower and apply moisturizing lotions. As it can be seen, the recommendations are a little vague and this why for psoriasis is important a check up before starting the treatment.
