Psoriasis And Eczema Treatment
is there a difference in the treatment of eczema and psoriasis?
according to the med websites I have eczema but when i went to see my doc he said it was psoriasis. Am I splitting hairs here? are the treatments the same?
There are definitely differences between them. The treatments are different as well but suprisingly some treatments for eczema can help psoriasis plaques, go figure!
My daughters both have eczema and I have psorasis so this is how I know the differences. Their skin that is affected is covered in bumps. It looks like goose bumps kinda that never goes away. The more severe it is, the more bumps. Really for them the best thing I've found is to use Vaseline Intensive Care lotion after they bathe and it is kept under control.
However, if you were diagnosed with psoriasis the difference would be bubbled up skin that's really red and it'll flake. Their skin never flakes so that was a real indicator of a difference.
Listen to your doctor about treatments and don't bother so much with other skin conditions treatments since that'll get you more confused than ever. As I've researched, even though several things can treat both conditions, some things can't. The last thing you want to do is use something that won't help your skin or make it worse. Good luck with it!
