Did you know there is a difference between Psoriasis and Eczema?

It can be confusing for many about the difference between Psoriasis and Eczema. Unfortunately,  psoriasis is one of the skin conditions that science understands the least, and one of the main reasons for this is because of our genes and immune system.‘Normal skin’, cells are made and replaced within 3-4 weeks, but in skin affected by psoriasis, this process happens within 3-4 days, resulting in a build-up of dead skin cells on the surface. Our body tries to get rid of healthy skin cells, causing psoriasis, and it is then believed to be related to our immune system. Eczema, however, does have more science-backed facts, but much like psoriasis, the underlying cause is not fully known. Atopic eczema is the most common form of eczema and can be found mostly in children but is still known to develop in adults. One of the main issues with Eczema-prone skin is that it cannot retain moisture and then causes irritable triggers. Symptoms include inflamed, dry, itchy, sore and cracked skin.Eczema can also be a hereditary condition and often occurs in people who have allergies. Unfortunately, the symptoms can be extremely irritating during aggressive flare-ups, which can have a major impact on your everyday physical and mental health. This is why finding the right treatment and a way to manage it is very important.
