Eczema psoriasis are common, noncontiguous disorders. Their exact cause is unknown (we have elaborated on 9 Psoriasis Theories, many of which relate to eczema as well). Following we will talk about the difference in these disorders, which can be seen visually.
Psoriasis: pinkish spots on the skin covered with dry scales. Most often, the spots appear on the elbows, knees, and scalp. The spots can appear throughout the rest of the body as well, including genital areas, areas around the eyes, etc. They rarely appear on the face, but can appear on the face as well, especially around the nose and on the eyebrows. Some people have large areas of their bodies covered with pink-silver scaly plaques. The nails can become thickened, yellowish, and brittle. A person can also develop psoriatic arthritis.
Compared to eczema, psoriasis plaques are less pronounced and less itchy.
Eczema: parts of skin redden, peel, and sometimes get covered with small weeping blisters. Eczema begins with tiny bubbles that burst and ooze; then, the weeping surface starts to increase. Eczema affects mainly the neck, forehead, wrists, forearms, as well as elbow and knee bends. Eczema can start anywhere else on the body as well.
Compared to psoriasis, eczema is brighter in color (almost red), as well as it itches much more and can ooze.
Eczema psoriasis can cause significant physical and mental suffering. The worst point is that it is practically impossible to cure them completely. It is noticed that both disorders get worse or can be provoked by anxiety and stress. They usually also react to diet and alcohol.
There are many ways to combat eczema psoriasis, including: medications, UVB, natural means, self-hypnosis, and many others. Many of the means are described on this website.
