Both eczema and psoriasis are forms of dermatitis or inflammation of the skin. Both are characterized by red, inflamed, burning, itchy patches. There may or may not be leaking and drainage. The damaged skin is extremely susceptible to infection. Both conditions can be hereditary and run in families. Neither condition is contagious.
Eczema is usually caused by a reaction to an allergen. It is considered more like a secondary response to a larger process. It may also be triggered in people who are sensitive to certain foods due to deficiencies in the gastrointestinal system. It may run in families that tend to have certain allergies (hay fever) or respiratory conditions (asthma). Treatments are usually directed at the underlying cause. It is most common in babies and resolves in half the cases by the preschool years. If a person continues to have eczema after early childhood, they will likely have flare-ups for the rest of their lives. Environmental factors, such as stress and exposure to chemicals, can trigger an outbreak. When eczema is scratched, it can become thickened and rough, develop into scabby sores or lesions, pimples or blisters.
Psoriasis is caused by a malfunction in the immune system that causes the over-production of skin cells. It develops raised red patches with silvery scales that flake off and cause the areas to bleed. The bleeding areas are highly prone to infection. Environmental factors, including bodily infections and the intake of toxic substances (nicotine and alcohol), can trigger outbreaks. Psoriasis can be found anywhere on the body, but is most common on the scalp, elbows, and knees. The treatment medications that are usually prescribed are toxic to the liver and other vital organs.
Good news: There are safe, effective, and natural treatments for both of those conditions. I will be presenting them to you over the next week. If you personally know of an effective & safe treatment please share!
