I remember a dermatologist that I trained with telling me that you cannot have both at the same time…guess I will find out now :) Happy Thursday Dr Dray and peeps!!!!
Happy Thursday
👱♀️❤
My daughter has both…she has had eczema since she was young but psoriasis appeared in her late teens and early 20s. The eczema is on her hands, elbows, knees mainly. Her psoriasis became really bad but luckily she is on a biologic now that decrease her flares. She is almost 30, and became a beer microbrewer. Gluten definitely cause flares so she has a rough time at work! Dairy is bad as well so she stays away as much as possible! She had to switch her derm due to insurance and it’s been a battle! Mama Bear had to “politely” explain to the doc and insurance company because her depression was causing her to give in too easily. She developed a 5th type, Guttate due to the delay in the biologic administration. Please remember that the patient knows their body and lives with the agony daily. Sweet girl is back under control with both conditions 🙏 Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you for the video! I have psoriasis diagnosed in adolescence that only appears on my scalp but I also seem to get inflammation easily and extremely sensitive skin throughout my whole body. I’ve never considered them to be related but it makes sense. Auto-immune conditions 😞
Also I notice that psoriasis is worse during my menstrual period, is that normal?
It certainly can flare with hormonal fluctuations
Yes during period it flares more, I suffer for 17 years in my hands and my skin got so bad because of topical steroids which mask it. Now that I dont use steroids it gives me so much stress cuz they flare all the time

fellow eczema sufferer here !
(red raw, flaky, sometimes bleeding eczema around eyes + pityarasis alba all over face)
(history of chronic hives)
(constantly peeling lip skin)
(history of anxiety & depression)
I used to be given mild steroids and then heavy steroids and then Protopic cream but now I try my best to just use skincare products to manage my condition.
hugs to all my Eczema/Psoriasis warriors <3

What skincare works for you?
Eczema is horrible. I had an eczema flare some months back along my neck and top of shoulders. Holy moley the itchiness was insane. Never had eczema before.
Tough to cope with for sure
Man I feel for you because same here. I just developed mine 3 years ago and it has changed my life negatively. Just when I feel as though I have figured out what helps with flare ups, I find it’s ineffective and vice versa. It’s gotten to the point where my confidence is so shot that I’ve become a recluse and wear clothing that covers most of my body. It’s been a very emotional experience for me. So I feel for you and I hope you get relief. ❤

Thank you for talking about this, I will be work citing you on my anatomy physiology final paper ❤
Thanks for watching
I’ve had eczema since I was a kid. My derm said I would grow out of it. 30years later still dealing with. Now it’s just about controlling the flair ups. It really does effect your relationships with others
They also gave that therapy in sun tan salons now – red light therapy
@L. P. Its called the Foldalite III
It’ll flare up if she stops and I know she’s over it.
@Melissa good to know👍thanks for the information 🙂

Yeah it’s not fun. Mine is still going strong in my 30s, but kept at bay with Nizoral.
My boyfriend once looked at my blood and unsurprisingly I had a huge amount of the T cells that cause eczema.
Thank you so much for this extremely informative and helpful video. I cannot even express how grateful I am. Cause I have got these dry, itchy, scales on my feet, thighs
Thanks for watching

This is an amazing video!! I am a new esthetician and this info is so helpful!! Can you do more like these😂
Thanks for watching
I watch them all! So appreciate you❤
At some point could you talk about lichen Plantus? It’s another skin condition that has features that are similar to both psoriasis and eczema but it’s neither and people don’t talk about it much unless they’re talking about the oral version.
Might help to see my comments above. There are books written on candida overgrowth. Check it out.
I have small patches of eczema. Had a colonoscopy back in January and…the antiseptic wash they used triggered dermatitis on my unmentionable region. 😮 Have been itching for 10 months. My dermatologist is the only one who has been able to lessen the severity but it is still bothering me and it looks like I am going to suffer long term 😢
I had plaque psoriasis on my legs, especially calves. Would come up every fall and go away when summer came and the sun would clear it up. My derm did a biopsy but I don’t remember if the results were definitive.
Had this for 20+ years, every year. Used steroid cream and Vectical, which I loved. I also had dyshydrotic eczema on my palms.
I quit smoking in October 2012 and the psoriasis/eczema disappeared after than winter. Haven’t had a breakout since. However, I do have a couple nail beds that have been permanently affected by the psoriasis.
Informative as always! I have been diagnosed with both eczema and psoriasis. My dr never really went into detail about the difference between the two. I was was just told it was connected to my auto immune diseases.
Hi Dr Dray I have had eczema all my life (I’m now 50), but no one talks about how menopause can make it so so much worse. The increased dryness and hot flushes during perimenopause flared my eczema so much it was a nightmare. I also developed rosacea during that time period. Even though I’m now fully menopausal (four years since my last period) I am still struggling with more flares than I had prior to the lack of estrogen. Another gift of the menopause lol and something no one ever seems to mention. It does make sense in a way – the skin thins, the oil production has pretty much stopped completely (I had very dry skin before, but now it’s incredibly dry) and estrogen is a lubricating factor in all tissues of the body.
The hand water blisters are indeed incredibly itchy btw and I have to wear gloves to bed to stop me scratching. I should also mention I have a host of other auto immune issues eg seasonal allergies (that last all year lol), previous endometriosis, mild asthma, arthritis and the list goes on. I have to moisturise head to toe at least twice a day and use all fragrance free products. I also have to be very careful with plant “extracts”, as these can also cause a lot of issues. Best wishes.
I have a few videos on mature skin that touch on dry skin….very common in both men & women with age related changes in the skin.
@Dr Dray That’s true and I’ve watched them, but my point was more about the worsening of existing skin conditions with menopause. Menopause is so much more involved than most of us knew beforehand – at least my friends and I had symptoms that are rarely mentioned on top of the more commonly known issues. x
Been battling an eczema flare up. My lotions are in the fridge and anytime I think of itching I grab an ice pack. Really has helped me! Wet wrapping has helped so much too. The itch is so horrible and I noticed that I just gotten in a habit of scratching unnoticed. Now trying to just get my brain to grab lotion when the itch signal comes.
Hey @Shelly can you tell more about wet wrapping ? My brother has eczema and I wish to help as much as possible.

Doesn’t it feel uncomfortable to use cold lotion? I feel so uncomfortable when I tried that
Thank you for doing this video. It was hard not to get emotional whilst watching and/or readings others comments. It’s super tough to have both of these skin conditions. I suffer with eczema. And boy do I suffer. 😅 Outside of the straightforward flare ups that Dr. Dray mentioned, I find that alcohol and dairy exacerbate my eczema even contributing to the flare up. I’m not sure if that’s been experienced by others here with the condition?
Dairy 👋
Thank you so much for this video! I had psoriasis as a child and my derm back then thought it was ringworm. I remember being prescribed an anti fungal spray the literally burned my skin. I ended up getting a biopsy, a proper diagnosis and treatment and my psoriasis has been in remission for 20+ years.
Thanks for explaining the difference between these two conditions. I learn something new every day from you! Happy Thursday, Dr Dray!! Hope you have a peaceful evening. 💜
I was diagnosed with Psoriasis when I was 19, and I hate it. I had no idea about the use of a scalp scrubber possibly making scalp Psoriasis worse. 🤦♀️ I do however disagree with the Psoriasis being less itchy. My itch can drive me crazy at times. It also isn’t a normal itch, it burns and has a pinching sensation at times. I deal with plaque, guttate, and inverse. For me moisturizing is key to trying to keep it somewhat under control.
Thank you for this video. I’m using minoxidil and I thought it gave me eczema but for the description and the fact you mentioned that psoriasis is triggered by blood pressure medication – it must be psoriasis.
My psoriasis showed up when I was around 5 years old. I’m now in my early 30’s and have been on stellera for about 7 years. I recently spoke to my dermatologist about coming off of that drug and trying something different simply because I have started to have a tougher time with minor illnesses. Overall, I have enjoyed this drug because clear skin used to just be something I dreamed about; now I’m probably 99% clear.
Funny that you mention strep being a trigger. I struggled with strep throat as a child until I had my tonsils removed.
