Eczema & Psoriasis Information
Eczema and psoriasis are common skin conditions that can leave the skin dry, inflamed, cracked, and itchy. They are usually long term conditions, but symptoms can be managed or even cleared completely.
Causes
There are no known causes of eczema, but it has been suggested that it is caused due to alliergies which can irritate the skin. It usually runs in families, and can often develop alongside hayfever.
The cause of psoriasis is slightly more understood. It is thought that the immmune system attacks healthy cells of the body, particularly skin cells, resulting in an increased production of skin cells resulting in psoriatic plaques.
