Eczema & Psoriasis

"Eczema and psoriasis are common inflammatory skin conditions caused by genetic factors, immune system triggers, or environmental allergens that disrupt the natural skin barrier. Patients typically experience symptoms like intense itching, redness, or thickened skin plaques, which require a formal diagnosis by a healthcare professional to ensure the correct management plan. You can start a clinical consultation on the Mail My Meds platform today to discuss your symptoms and find the right path for your skin health." — Rachael Clarke MRCPharm MFRPSI FRSPH (GPHC Number: 2061366)

Eczema and psoriasis are long-term skin conditions that cause the skin to become dry, itchy, and irritated due to inflammation. While eczema is often linked to allergies and a weakened skin barrier, psoriasis is an autoimmune condition where skin cells replace themselves too quickly, leading to a build-up of scales.

Skin flare-ups are often caused by a combination of genetics, overactive immune responses, and external triggers such as stress, cold weather, or harsh soaps. Recognising the symptoms early can help you manage the condition more effectively before it impacts your daily quality of life.

• Common Symptoms: Persistent itching, dry or cracked skin, red inflamed patches, and silvery scales.
• Common Causes: Family history, environmental changes, hormonal shifts, and contact with irritants.
• Treatment Options: Management usually involves topical applications to hydrate the skin, reduce inflammation, and prevent secondary infections.
• When to seek advice: Consult a medical professional if your skin becomes painfully swollen, leaks fluid, or if the condition prevents you from sleeping.
