I can;t control the itching at all.. I can't tell if it's Psoriasis or Eczema? can plz give me the suggestions?

Hello Tanya,

Thanks for your question regarding psoriasis and eczema. Please understand that I'm cannot diagnose your skin condition - a visit to a physician is the best way to know exactly what is going on with your skin.

However, from your description, it doesn't sound like psoriasis....but more like eczema.

There are different types of eczema - like Atopic dermatitis, Dyshidrotic dermatitis, Nummular dermatitis, and Seborrheic dermatitis.

Your condition sounds like the most common type of eczcema - Dyshidrotic dermatitis. This type of eczema is mostly found on the hands and feet and usually involve some type of blistering pimples that become inflamed.....which sounds like what you described.

Where as psoriasis symptoms usually involve the build up of dead skin cells which results in dry scaly patches on the knees, knuckles, elbows, and scalp.
