Eczema & Psoriasis

There are no known causes of eczema, but it has been suggested that is caused due to allergies which can irritate the skin. It usually runs in families, and can often develop alongside hay fever.

The cause of psoriasis is slightly more understood. It is thought that the immune system attacks healthy cells of the body, particularly skin cells, resulting in an increased production of skin cells which causes psoriatic plaques.

There is no cure for eczema or psoriasis. Still, there are treatment options available to help relieve the symptoms of flare-ups.

Symptoms tend to vary between eczema and psoriasis. Eczema symptoms include itchy, dry, or red patches over the body. Psoriasis typically causes patches of skin that are dry, red and covered in silver scales. Some people find their psoriasis causes itching or soreness.
