Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor, preferably a dermatologist.

Hard : Hard to tell without a clinical examination but perhaps you have eczema or seborrheic dermatitis.  See a picture and read more about treatment for seborrhea at the link below.  I hope that helps!

Question 5

i have been diagnosed with eczema since i was a newborn & yet i have it still. could it be psoriasis?

Accepted Answer

Can be dificult to..: Can be difficult to differentiate.  I have many patients with psoriasis and/or psoriatic arthritis who have thought or been told they have eczema, and they turn out to have overt or hidden psoriasis. Actopic dermatitis is considered a synonym for excema, but it is a poor one!

Question 6

what are the differences between psoriasis and eczema?

Accepted Answer

Immunologic: Psoriasis and eczema are both immunological conditions that causes inflammation in the skin.  Eczema is histamine driven and is related to hay fever and asthma.  People with eczema have more allergies.  Psoriasis is a systemic inflammatory condition that affects the skin and joints, and more recently found to also affect the heart.  Patients with psoriasis also have higher risks of skin cancers.

Question 7

is there any possibilities that you misdiagnosed psoriasis from eczema?

Accepted Answer

Sure: Theclinical presentation can be similar. Have a dermatologist take a look. If one already has, you can always get a second opinion.

Question 8

how can i permently get rid of eczema and psoriasis?

Accepted Answer

You can't: These issues can be effectively controlled but not cured.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

PSORIASIS ECZEMA RAS: Psoriasis are well circumscribed erythematous papules  and plaques covered with silvery scale with mild itchings sometimes with arthritis.  Rash can be erythematous, vesicular, urticarial, etc. Eczema like atopic dermatitis has pruritus as the main sx range from erthema to severe   lichenification.

Question 10

how are sclap psoriasis and seborrhoeic eczema different?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes overlap: Seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp can often overlap with scalp psoriasis in a disease termed sebopsoriasis.  Both conditions are from scalp inflammation.  The treatments are often quite similar using topical steroid solutions/shampoos/foams and keratolytic (scale removing) shampoos and topicals.  See a dermatologist to see if you have one or the other or the combined form (sebopsoriasis).
