⟩ Eczema and psoriasis seem to be very similar skin conditions. Are the treatments the same?

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.
