Common Questions and Answers about Eczema vs psoriasis difference

I was wondering how you can tell the difference between psoriasis, excema and other skin conditions.
I've had this rash for a few weeks now and it doesnt seem to respond to zinc creme or other cremes.
Maybe it could have been a combination of psoriasis and eczema? There was mild scarring on my arms after the rash inside my elbows cleared up, but my skin returned to normal color within a few weeks.
However, to this day, I still have faint white spots from the rash on my stomach and sides (which may have been this guttate form of psoriasis.
My real question while I wait to test again relates to my eczema and inverse psoriasis. Since my possible HSV exposure the rashes from those two skin disorders has been worse than ever. Does anyone know if there is a link between them and HSV? They are considered autoimmune problems and are made worse by stress, so this isn't helping. And the initial eczema flareup on my legs was the worst it's ever been, which is why I asked about the HIV RNA test being confirmed negative.
The most causes for the dry patch are Eczema and Psoriasis. Eczema is one condition where the hands get cracked. In this disorder contact with triggering factors like soaps, cosmetics, jewelry, clothing, and detergents causes symptoms. Sometimes sweat, changes in temperature and psychological stress are known to trigger these episodes. Psoriasis is an auto immune disorder that can cause dry cracked hands. Genetic and immunologic theories have been predicted as causes for psoriasis.
For a few months now my partner has had several round, red lesions on his thighs, calves, groin, backs of the knees and buttocks, ranging in size from a pimple to a dime (and much smaller red bumps on his forearms that look more like heat rash, except they've lasted as long). They itch, and some have white scales on them. Many of the ones on his calves and forearms have developed scabs from his scratching.
ve never been diagnosed with eczema but do have dry skin. Eczema and psoriasis can both itch. Hyperpigmentation can occur from our scratching. Were you told you might be prediabetic after a physical when they checked your lab work? Type 2 diabetes is preventable and you can do diet changes and exercise, weight control often to control it so it does not turn into the real deal. So, I'd work on that! There is something called Lichen Simplex Chronicus.
Hello,
Eczema is one such possibility which can present like this. The other possibility is of psoriasis skin. Psoriasis is a long-term (chronic) skin problem that causes skin cells to grow too quickly, resulting in thick, white, silvery, or red patches of skin.It is thought that psoriasis occurs when the immune system overreacts, causing inflammation and flaking of skin.
If the symptoms persist then please get it evaluated from a dermatologist.
Hello,
From the symptoms it looks like eczema or it can be a fungal infection rather than psoriasis. Psoriasis is a long-term (chronic) skin problem that causes skin cells to grow too quickly, resulting in thick, white, silvery, or red patches of skin.
I suggest you to get it seen from a dermatologist because treatment is entirely different for eczema and fungal infections.
Hi,
It could be an eczema present in the buttocks.The term eczema is broadly applied to a range of persistent skin conditions. These include dryness and recurring skin rashes which are characterized by one or more of these symptoms: redness, skin edema (swelling), itching and dryness, crusting, flaking, blistering, cracking, oozing, or bleeding.
Atopic eczema is believed to have a hereditary component, and often runs in families whose members also have hay fever and asthma.
