Eczema and psoriasis seem to be very similar skin
conditions. Are the treatments the same?
Answer / lahari
Eczema and psoriasis have a similar appearance. Both are
characterized by red, dry patches on their skin. Both can
have a hereditary basis, and treatment for both is
generally use of topical cortisone preparations.
Eczema patients are more likely to get itchy and dry on
their facial skin, so you should begin a procedure with
more hydrating products.
Patients with psoriasis, can tolerate products better, and
are less prone to developing allergic reactions. The major
warning for patients with psoriasis is that the psoriasis
may develop wherever the skin is traumatized. During a
facial, be gentle since an aggressive skin puncture could
possibly bring on the psoriasis in that area.
