Psoriasis and eczema are common skin conditions, but it is often difficult for the untrained eye to tell the difference between the two conditions.
Eczema makes the skin red and inflamed, it may be scaly, oozing, or crusty and some sufferers may find that they have rough, leathery patches on the skin. Psoriasis can also cause red patches, which may also be silvery, scaly and raised. The skin is thicker and is more inflamed in a person with psoriasis.
You will need to seek a professional medical opinion from a trained dermatologist to understand your skin condition if you are unsure.
