Differences between Eczema and Psoriasis

What is Eczema?

Eczema (also known as dermatitis) is the name for a group of diseases that are the result of inflammation of the skin. The inflammation is a reaction of the immune system to a complex series of factors. These include the genes you inherit and external elements such as the climate and the food you eat. There are many different forms of eczema; they can affect any age group, and their pattern and severity differ from individual to individual. "Natural eczema treatment Sydney" can also vary depending on the type of condition you are suffering.

Both eczema and psoriasis are considered or viewed mostly as skin conditions and some people also refer to both problems as two sides of the same coin. Apparently, it is not easy to tell the difference without knowing the differences between symptoms of both diseases.

Eczema, its symptoms, and treatment

Firstly, you should know that it’s just misconception if you’re still considering psoriasis and eczema as the same conditions. Eczema is a skin disorder that causes red itchy rashes mostly in the crooks of elbow, knees, and shoulder. The reason for this condition is not clear but it supposed to be associated with the body’s immune system. When the immune system fails to fight with the environmental factors and other stimulants that agitate the skin, a person may experience eczema symptoms.

Eczema causes red, rough, and cracked skin. An experienced dermatologist may diagnose the possible reasons after assessing the patient. And he may give the patient appropriate natural eczema treatment Australia after identifying the actual circumstances that triggered this disease to an individual.

According to the Ayurveda concept, eczema occurs due to aggravation of Pitta Dosha. You may contact an Ayurveda expert such as Yatan Holistic Ayurvedic Centre for the best natural eczema treatment.

Psoriasis, its symptoms, and treatment

Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system fights own skin tissues that result in excessive production of skin cells that form thick patches of scales. Psoriasis lesions are less itchy than eczema and mostly on the outer area of the elbow and knee. Psoriasis can occur anywhere on the body but mostly at knees, elbows, and scalp.

The treatments for eczema and psoriasis are not similar. Natural treatment psoriasis Sydney includes herbal medicines that detoxify the blood and strengthen the immune system. A doctor may also prescribe specific topical corticosteroids or moisturizing lotions that help in treating the immune disorder and skin dryness.
