Preparation

Steps to complete before traveling to Cuba, so your program begins smoothly.

1

Dermatological evaluation

Confirm the psoriasis type and severity; a skin biopsy may be performed to rule out other conditions.

2

Document plaque extent

Photograph affected areas and note trigger factors so progress can be measured against a clear baseline.

3

Review current therapies

List all topical, systemic, and phototherapy treatments you use so your dermatologist can plan a complementary regimen.

4

Plan for outpatient visits

Treatment is outpatient; arrange accommodation near the clinic and flexible scheduling for in-clinic sessions.

Recovery

What to do after your program to protect your results and support lasting recovery.

1

Apply Coriodermina as directed

Follow the application frequency and area-specific instructions from your dermatologist consistently.

2

Moisturize daily

Keep skin well-hydrated with emollients to reduce scaling, itching, and the risk of flares.

3

Avoid trigger factors

Manage stress, avoid skin injury (Koebner response), limit alcohol, and follow any dietary guidance.

4

Monitor for flares

Track flare frequency and severity, and contact your team early if a flare begins so treatment can be adjusted.

5

Attend follow-up

Schedule periodic reviews to assess response and refine the long-term management plan.
