I was treated for psoriasis of the palms and feet for over 20 years with all the creams, ointments and even biologics. Nothing worked. Frequent trips to the doctors’ office for more meds. I changed my diet for other reasons and to my shock, psoriasis cleared up. I avoid all seed oils, processed foods, sugars and most carbs. Simple one ingredient foods, nothing processed or high carbs and seed oils. No medications needed, all flare ups cleared up. Dermatologists never suggested changing my diet. Wonderful self discovery for sure. I am not a doctor and cannot say this approach would work for others. It did for me!
Did you get rid of dairy?
There's a whole long list of ailments that can be treated with the dietary changes you described. I don't think the medical profession has caught on yet.
Are you vegetarian vegan or carnivore?
"Don't self diagnose." Great advice. I just waited 9 months for a Dermatology appointment, just to get a call, a day before my appointment, from their office, canceling the appointment and them trying to rescheduling it for 6 more months out. I HAVE to self diagnose because I can't get a Dr. to see me. Love Dermatologists SOOOO much!!!! 😡
I agree. Getting a Dr. A dermatologist appointment.
Yes go to a dermatologist so they can tell you to apply steroid creams for the rest of your life and then immune suppressant injections later on. Oh yeah and keep moisturising until your skin can no longer breathe. That is professional dermatologist advice!
I am having a similar problem. I am in such agony, it irritates me and has altered my life. I can't work. Etc.
I have what sounds like Eczema on my scalp. Thanks for your video.
I have psoriasis and it is so awful. It impacts my life every single day. There's no treatment that works for the long term so it's always a game of chasing what will work... for now. Some of the treatments are dangerous and even carcinogenic. It's impacted my self-esteem and comfort and general quality of life. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I had my first flare about 7-8 years ago and the only time it receded even a little bit was while I was pregnant. But it came back within a few months postpartum. I wish people understood these conditions more because it seems like sometimes people are worried that it is contageous. It's autoimmune so you can't catch it!
Please take homoeopathic treatment from an experienced doctor, who will understand your personality and give the perfect medicine. I myself am a homoeopathic doctor for 20 years and have cured plenty of cases. Pls go with an open mind and give the doctor some time to change a few medicines till you get the perfect remedy
Ayurveda can cure it completely
I’m please put it out for p
I got this thing after i got covid, like you say it is a nightmare, and everybody thinks is contagious, even doctors, when i first went to my main doctor, the nurses and the doctor did not even wanted to get close to me, they stayed closed to the door, i am not sure what they were thinking, it is so uncomfortable. This worker at sams club told his coworker behind my back i looked nasty. It first appeared when i was 36, i will figure out how to get rid of it.
They say, psoriasis starts in the gut.
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
💙💙💙
What skincare works for you?
Skin issue twin!
@@dianafrazier1509 do u happen to have sinus issues too? !
I have both conditions. I’ve had eczema since I was a kid. Unfortunately, I suddenly had lots of lesions all over my body at 26 and it turned out I had psoriasis. Now I’m trying to prevent the flare and I can say it’s challenging indeed. I truly appreciate your explanation dr Dray.
hey don't worry you will get cured just meet with a Ayurvedic doctor
same here😢
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.
@@DrDrayzday 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
same here. I'm in a bad flareup, in addition to seborrheic dermatitis, and my dr thinks its a combination of stress and my hormones. I'm perimenopausal. Trying so many things, I'm losing track of what's working and what isn't anymore. Hope you are improved.
@@amberpipkin thanks its just how it is and eczema flares up and then dies down on and off. I’m sorry you’re struggling too, but it becomes something you learn how to manage better as time goes on. I’m currently not in an active flare of either the eczema or rosacea, so I’m good right now. Many thanks x
You are a wonderful physician that cares. INFO MATION IS THE KEY!!!!
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. ❤
How do you get rid of it
I’m 39 and just now getting eczema !
Now Dr I have dermatitis
This video could not be more timely. I have my first dermatologist appointment in my adult life tomorrow to get my moles checked. I was filling out my paperwork and found myself wondering was it eczema or psoriasis that I had as a kid. You totally cleared it up for me. It was eczema.
How'd it go?
@@jenmarie2030 moles are great. Thank you. I did find out I have rosacea and milia though along with hormonal acne. So, fun!
@@angelaruyle2041when did your eczema first start, and when did it go away?
@jonathanb.7481 it started early elementary school and I think I stopped having issues around 18. Switching to fragrance free everything helped alot.
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
It can get intense
❤ Gosh so sorry!
My mom does light therapy for her eczema and she said it’s really helped.
@@youheartmel if you know the device your mom is using, would you share? Thanks!
They also gave that therapy in sun tan salons now - red light therapy
Thanks Dr. Dray another amazing video! Very helpful 😊 My baby suffers from eczema and it’s awful.
I was just diagnosed with eczema. Thank you for this information!
Thank you for this insightful video. I am on my second dermatologist with plantar/palmar psoriasis/eczema. The worst thing is the painful deep cracks that keep forming that leak serous fluid and blood. The biopsy came back as eczema but the topical steroids they prescribed just made it worse. To be fair, EVERYTHNG I put on it (and I tried every OTC skin topical) made it worse. The only things that helped were steroid injections and rosemary. The steroid shots made things better but only for a few weeks. The rosemary was fresh rosemary that I boiled up on the stove and then poured into an ice bath and soaked my feet for 20 min/day. That helped reduce the inflammation and pain from the large cracks that keep forming but started to diminish in effectiveness after about a month.
I was patch tested for sensitivity to some 200 different substances and only 4 things turned up positive, none of which were contained in the ointments I was using.
In this video you mentioned lithium and blood pressure medication can cause psoriasis. My psoriasis (and I believe it is psoriasis despite the biopsy results) began 6 months ago at the same time I started the BP med irbesartan. I decided to stop taking it about a month ago and I am waiting to see if my psoriasis clears up. (I switched to amlodipine instead.) Neither dermatologist mentioned that my BP medication could be the problem. I just decided on my own to verify whether or not it could be the culprit. So we'll see soon enough.
Meanwhile I am going to try Vtama as soon as my insurance approves it.
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'm 43 & have had dermatitis/eczema for the last 10yrs. It started under my armpits & was caused by a dry roll-on deodorant. I'd used it for years but when this reaction first happened it was when the deodorant company changed to a 'new & improved formula'. My reaction looked like the photo you showed in your video. My doctor (I'd been with for many many years) wasn't available so I had to see another Dr from a different surgery. This doctor straight out said (without looking at it closely) it was a fungal infection & said I had to put Canesten cream on it for the full 10 day course. It made it worse. I went back & he was like oh dear. He then prescribed me a topical ointment. Just when I thought it couldn't get worse... It did! It looked like third degree burns, it felt like my armpits were on fire & they were extremely dry to the point that I couldn't put my arms down by my sides. I went back to the Dr. He was shocked & as he was about to suggest something else I demanded a referral to a dermatologist. The dermatologist was amazing. He explained everything from what causes it, what to avoid (food/chemical/streets/environment wise), how to treat & maintain & put me on a treatment plan for different creams/ointments & products for washing my body etc & my clothes to cover all bases. I couldn't wear any deodorant for 8wks & until it was fully healed. It was Summer too 😭.... My armpits have been good since, with only little flare-ups. Now my only areas where I get it are my fingers with the clear liquid filled blisters which I have cream for if they burst & I get the extremely dry/itchy/red lips which I have an ointment for. Both the cream & ointment are prescription medication, very expensive & I can only use sparingly because it can make matters worse. I keep on top of the lips with my MooGoo lip balm & this last Winter, here in Australia 🦘🇦🇺, has been my first Winter without any lip issues at all... 💖💖
Same thing happened to me! I refused to use the antifungal cream. Had a biopsy and it came back saying it was not ringworm!
It's like you read my mind!! Thank you so much for your videos always adding value
battling eczema in one spot currently. My dermatologist gave me a script for a cream that is doing wonders. However, apparently I also have hives at the same time! talk about misery - every part of my body has been itchy to the point of bleeding from scratching (have woken up scratching myself). handling that with OTC benadryl which has helped quite a bit. Combating the 2 issues was driving me crazy as I didn't know what it was. She ordered blood work as well to rule out any underlying issues but all seems to be in order. Definitely am glad I went to the doctor as everything else I was trying was not working. Great videos - thank you!
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.
After I had a major surgery, I had a really itchy patch in my inner elbow that I couldn’t get rid of. My family doctor thought it might be psoriasis but then sent me to a dermatologist who said it was eczema. I was so confused because I thought these were both things you just always had or you didn’t. I had no idea stress could flare it up like that! Thankfully, after a few months, it went away!
This was extremely helpful. Thank you!
Thank you. I really appreciate all your eczema videos.
I always learn something new thank to Dr. Dray, thank you😊🙏❤
Thank you for all you do !!! I’m so glad I found you. Happy Thursday ❤
Thanks for watching
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.
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
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.
This is encouraging. May I ask which treatment you used ? Thanks.
@@bertinahkilinda3805 I was given steroid creams. This was a long time ago and I was a child so I have no idea what it was. I eventually outgrew my psoriasis and it never came back.
@@julimeyer7 Thank you.
The same thing happened to me! I was told by three doctors that I had ringworm and prescribed a fungal cream. I did not use it because I felt it was a wrong diagnosis. They did a biopsy and found it was indeed not ringworm!
thanks great advice. my son does see his doctor and has had eczema since he was little it's so much better now that he is fourteen.
You are absolutely right. Only a board-certified Dermatologist can really tell the difference. Unfortunate and that I have a great dermatologist. Who knows what she’s doing. I have eczema and psoriasis on different body parts. I have both on my scalp. The absolute worst itching in the whole world though it’s on my back because I’m not limber enough anymore to really scratch so I have to use a back scratcher which I know is not always a good idea either. I’ve been trying to use the same cleansers and lotions for both skin conditions. I hope that’s OK. I’m just doing topicals. I chose not to do any Biologics or anything because of side effects. I I tried Otezla and it gave me insomnia. If either condition ever spreads to my face, then I would probably try an oral medication. Thank you for the great video. It helps me to stay reminded of what this is all about.
She definitely doesn’t recommend the back scratcher
So helpful. Maybe the most eye opening video you’ve posted at least for me personally, having a lifetime of crazy undiagnosedin (or drs misdiagnosing and rediagnosing) skin issues. My skin is crazy sensitive and I have autoimmune issues, psoriasis with some eczema flares I think given your descriptions. Started when I was a kid a somehow no one could figure out that it was psoriasis or eczema…. Leaving me as some science experiment… I still don’t get it but anyway. THANK YOU ❤
I thank you so much for putting your time in this video
Thank you for the color palette!
I've eczema since childhood and gotten better with age. Until 4 years ago, a severe full body flare up appeared. Now I am still seeing my dermatologist with monthly ongoing treatment. Journey was hellish yet I'm adapting cause I wanna avoid lingering mental illness. It cost my self-love, self-esteem, self-motivation. But I am more repulsed of dragging others into my depressive state.
🧘🏻♀️🧘🏻♀️🧘🏻♀️
Thank you for talking about this, I will be work citing you on my anatomy physiology final paper ❤
Thanks for watching
Had mild ezcema as a child, came back in certain areas in 2019 and spread to most of my body in 2021. In 2021 had 2 recurring staph infections with 8 antibiotic treatment cycles on my scalp and neck, along with cuts that led to hyperpigmentation. Happy to say its under control with the use of topical steroids but absolutely hate the combination of ezcema and hyperhidroisis on the palms and underarms, luckily iontophoresis is doing the trick but it can be irritating.
Thank you, Dr, Dray!🥰
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.
Happy Thursday Dr Dray..I had psoriasis and I have all the symptoms except the heart disease. I am having injections of Stelara every 12 weeks it’s not really doing much for my arthritis but for the first time since I was 12 I have no psoriasis anywhere on my body and I had it so bad I never showed my arms or legs.it was on my scalp which got infected often and on my face so I know how bad it can be! Hope this helps! See you tomorrow x💙🤩
This is sp incredibly helpful as I have both. Thank you for sharing so freely.
That must be incredibly difficult. :(
Great video! I have PsA and my stepson has eczema. Thank you for explaining so much, I wish you were here in Florida so I could have you be my derm. Xoxo
Thanks for an excellent dissection of the topic.
Glad it was helpful!
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.
So it has no cure?
@@yogipatil-6533 yes, eczema has no cure either
Omg my psoriasis drives me insane. I make myself bleed with itchiness
Ask your dermatologist if it could be a parasite infection on the skin from an animal. They tried to say I have early eczema and it wasn't and I think it's an over population of dermodex mites or d canis mites from dogs. There's an allergic reaction to mites unknown from animals or our body makes too many dermodex d brevis or d folliculium. Just ask your dermatologist to test you! I went 9 months.
@@rehanne18 You do not want to break the skin, because then infection can set in. If I break the skin, I ALWAYS apply antibiotic ointment and bandage because I have had several infections already from scratching to where the skin broke and infection set in. Not good! Infection can get into the bone and cause other serious problems.
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 👋
Also dairy.
DAIRY. Yes same absolutely dairy flares mine up
Thank you so much for the information 🌷
I have just been diagnosed with psoriasis, I have a small patch above my left eye which is inconvenient but I’ll just have to learn to live with it.
Thank you! I'm dealing with lots of skin issues in my teen years, and unlike my peers with facial skin issues, I have skin irritation everywhere but my face. I didn't know what it was but now I'm almost certain it's eczema.
Mine was gone permanently through the help of DR OSEMUAHU on TH-cam you can contact him also he can help you …
I have eczema. I'm lucky that my flare ups are usually quite small, but boy do they itch! I really relate to that itch/scratch cycle!
I am quite sad, because I've recently started to react to some makeup products. First it was lip products, and now I react to certain eye makeup as well 😭
And by lip products I mean lip balms as well... I now have 2 products I can use, one is a $100 lip treatment, and the other is a $10 100% fat content balm. Neither of them are vegan, but to keep those flakes away from my lips and that space between my upper lip and my nose, I will use whatever works!
Yes, I have used vaseline, no, it doesn't work for me.
And just as I watched this video, I could feel the skin tighten on my hands as the autumn air sucked the moisture out of the skin...
Luckily I have a nice assortement of hand creams and hand balms laying around 😎
Tis the season to be itchy...
Can you talk about Redman Syndrome, this was me 4 mos ago. Also, my sister has had psoriasis all life, she freaks out, if she gets sick, has a surgery, cuts herself, gets stressed out and more bc hers will flare big time. The doctor told our mother in 1970s that psoriasis comes from the gut. I believe this
great video! need more like it :) A.topic and Psoriasis are so hard to deal with! TU! I have both :(
That was very helpful!
This was great 👍🏾 I had eczema as a child; never seen it reappear. Husband has a mysterious skin condition that was diagnosed, but medication he takes has neither calmed it down nor eliminated it. It seemed to start after a cycling crash that tore up his skin which he waited 4-6 hours to clean out. I figured it was a staph infection. He continues to get flare ups and is never free of lesions, but also doesn’t have any other problems…it looks like that last picture- scattered spots and sometimes in hot spots on privates.
Take him to the dr
I actually get both. My eczema seems to stay on my hands (my goodness it gets itchy!), behind my knees and on my scalp with occasional patches on my face when the skin disagrees with things. My psoriasis tends to stick to the bend of my elbow and it can be really itchy too but so so dry. My skin overall is dry but at the moment its ridiculous. I'm extremely anaemic and also vitamins D and B12 deficient so have been on daily medications for those but it hasn't helped the dryness at all. I've tried different creams and lotions, use non bio detergents but it's still dry. Under my eyes is that dry I look like I've aged 20 years in the last couple of months, it sucks quite honestly.
Thank you for this very informative video. It has really helped me.
🥰🥰🥰 Thank you Dr. Dray very informative.
Can you talk about keratoderma vs. psoriasis?
Also, which blood pressure medications make it worse?
I learn so much here! 💜💜💜
I'd love to see a video talking about alopecia and seborrheic dermatitis.
I see a lot of people blaming their hair loss on seb derm, sometimes with just a self diagnosis based on the presence of some scale, erythema and/or itch.
I have hair loss itchy scalp so I think I have seborrheic dermatitis.
I have has some stress but also it started when I was prescribed statins and betablockers.
I've spent a fortune on shampoos.
I'm waiting for blood test results from doctors.
I have diagnosed sebderm on my scalp ( by several derm and doctors ) , and I now have lost about 70 to 80% of my hair. It happened to me twice and the only way to stop the hairloss is to control the sebderm . I was free from it for a short period of 5 year ish and my hair grew back beautifully. Hairloss started as soon as the sebderm came back ( mine is triggered by hormonal changes )
@@noemiechevalier4373 Thankyou so much for your reply.
I'm so grateful to you
Thank you for bringing more awareness to these conditions. Although, as someone who has lived with psoriasis since I was toddler, now 43 years, I'd say there is quite a bit more to this. I'm lucky to have dry psoriasis that doesn't produce oily scales and there is no pus what so ever. Psoriasis always flares with cold damp dark periods of winter and becomes much better with sun and swimming a lot in sea or ocean. Its an autoimmune condition that affects your joins (I got the aches since I was in my 20s when flying and when I was not rested enough), nails and makes you quite sensitive (foods/ skincare/stress/other infections). With hormonal changes (puberty/childbirth) one's psoriasis can actually become much better. I had it very bad as a child, but since puberty, Its been mostly on my scalp (dark tops are no-go) and knees/elbows, which I consider I relief. Also, its important to take care of your teeth, so there are no infections and I even got my tonsils cut, after which my psoriasis got better. Just a few years ago, my GP prescribed me a lotion for scalp and cream for elbows that I use for a week or two until the scales disappear. I keep a break for a month and when psoriasis appears again, I use my medication again. The most important however, I've felt is your diet, healthy lifestyle and managing your stress level. Sugar, alcohol, smoking, too spicy foods, too processed food, vinegar, gluten, too much dairy, too much fried food - its bad for my gut microflora thats very sensitive due to psoriasis. I eat organic and keto right now with lots of fresh vegetables. Its important to eat healthy, sleep well, do intermittent fasting, do sports, and keep your weight healthy when you have psoriasis. Also to move to a warmer climate if thats an option. For my skin 10% urea creams are great, and I use fragrance free products, allergy-free washing products for my clothes. Since I've also anxiety and depression (like many people who have psoriasis), I've therapy, take my medication and try to plan my work load so I can rest properly. From vitamines, D3, omega-3 and B vitamines are extremely important for someone who has psoriasis. All in all, its a condition dependant on the lifestyle so there is a lot one can do to manage it, but sure its very debilitating especially in social situations. And another thing- psoriasis can also itch like crazy, especially during the flare-up.
You perfectly described my conditions since I was born ( will be 60 this year.) They say my psoriasis was due to a reaction to penicillin? Anyway, as I was reading this it let me know I’m not alone! Currently the only issues I have that bug me .. is where my glasses rub my face…. Thanks ….👍K👍
Very informative. Maybe I have both. Dermatologist initially said dermatitis, then sent him pic of my left hand which was really swollen, gets dry, cracked, red, rash, and is extremely itchy. He then said it might be something else. It took takes so long getting a appt, then topicals are prescribed, which usually doesn't work, sometimes makes it worse. It started on my face, then migrated to different parts of my body. My left hand has been consistently affected. I will be getting a skin patch test. I have been urgent care, seen the dermatologist 2x so far. The last appt dermatologist said my face was too swollen to get a patch test.
After seeing your video, I'm pretty sure I have atopic dermatitis on my right hand, especially between fingers. Had these same kind of very tiny blisters on both hands AND feet when I was ~5 yrs old. The doc had me hold my hands under UV light for timed sessions. Told me to alwys chk my feet when the blisters appeared on my hands. He called it a "fungus" and said it always starts on feet first and I shld never wear any kind of sox except 100% cotton, and wear no shoes/sox at all whenever possible. It all went away within about a yr or two. Now I am 76 and just happen to be under a great deal of stress, and those tiny, VERY itchy blisters have come back, only on one hand so far. Nothing on my feet this time. I also have asthma; and chocolate and dairy will cause me to have migraines (which many females on both sides of my family, and my siblings, also have). Cannot get a derm doc apt until mid-Oct. Calendula ointment has worked the best so far (and I use Hydcorizone cream, USP 1% - as little as possible...but it does help stop the terrible itching). I'm trying not to wash my hands so much but have a special-needs dog and have to wash up a LOT. I will get gloves. I'm grateful that I found your TH-cam video. It helped me so much, esp since I can't get Derm doc apt for months. Thank you for all the detailed information. I found other websites to be pretty much useless.
Thank you Dr Dray
After seeing the photos you posted I’m grateful that I just get 6 or 8 small guttate spots on my left arm and my right leg. Yes to osteoarthritis, asthma and allergies They appear seasonally when the climate gets cold and the air is dry. Don’t remember when it started, early thirties I think. I’ve never asked my siblings🤔
I suffer from it also for 3 yrs and I was able to get rid of mine permanently through the help of DR OSEMUAHU on TH-cam you can contact him also he can help you❤
Amazing video very helpful ☺️😊
Excellent video. Very informative and confusing at the same time just as you mentioned.. from what you described I think I may have a combination of both. I will be doing some more research on this topic before Ivisit a dermatologist. Thank you so much for this informative video.
Dr Andrea, make an updated video on seborrheic dermatitis please!
Thank you Dr Dray for your expertise. I have scalp psoriasis along the back edge of my neck and affecting the area around my ears as well. I am 71 and have had it two years now. Aquaphor used on a daily basis seems to really help, better than any cream from the pharmacy. Cutting out wine and tomatoes has lessened flares.
did it appear first time when you were around 69? darn and they said it should show up much earlier. that's actually very worrying!
I have psoriasis in the same area. I'm 63 and find sugar makes it itchy, interesting you say tomatoes.
Psoriasis on scalp is really awful to deal with, but I’ve managed to keep it under control with Nizoral 2%.
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❤
Thank you very much! Very informative my son has atopic dermatitis and asthma and I didn’t know they were related.
Glad it was helpful!
I ended up trying vicks vaporub. It calms the itch. It stings but works instantly. Helps healing the patches and keeps the area moist.
After the COVID-19, I had some hand sterilizer left over. Just for fun, to see what would happen, I applied some of it to a patch of psoriasis that had been on my right arm for about 20 years. I also then wrapped the area with plastic wrap to keep the area air tight and moist. This was left on for one day. In a short time, the psoriasis was 95% gone. I then left it as is for several months to see if it would go back to the way it was. It did not return to its original status. So today I am trying another hand sterilizer to see if I can rid of the remaining 5%. I also used the old hand sterilizer, in combination with my other secret ingredient, to remove a pea sized wart that was located on my upper right eyelid. That took some time. It would get smaller and smaller, but sometimes go back to the larger size, and so it began to seem as though it was all hopeless, but the final day came when it just peeled right off, and that made it worth it.
I’ve been dealing with an extremely itchy hand for several months. I thought at first it was a bug bite or poison ivy or something but it never seemed to go away. It started on my pinky on my right hand and then quickly spread to my ring finger (same hand). It stayed there on those 2 fingers for at least 5-6 months before spreading to my middle finger. Now it plagues those 3 fingers and part of my upper palms (front and back). It is hard not to itch.
The only thing that helps me is Thyme Out (which is an all natural body wash) - which seems to be able to treat any skin condition. I also use Gold Bond cream to help combat the itch or wanting to itch.
I find that hot water seems to give me a flare up - or wanting to itch. If i do itch, running my hand under cold water burns that itched area.
I was thinking i had psoriasis but seeing this video makes me think it’s eczema. Whatever it is, i hope there is a treatment. I will do anything not to have this
I have never had a formal examination by a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis of my condition which started on my scalp about 20 years ago, and slowly spread down my neck, into my ears, and over my shoulders. My doctor has been treating it as psoriasis, but I have looked at photos on the internet and my condition does not look like the examples. (Also my hairdresser says it is not like any psoriasis that she has seen). When the condition started spreading onto the sides of my face, I was referred for UV light treatment, plus regular application of oatmeal moisturising cream, which has eased but not cured the condition. I am on medication for my heart and the cardiac consultant changed one of the meds, and again that may have helped the condition. I hope to be able to see a dermatologist for a positive diagnosis. I can see from your photos that it is not eczema, so that was helpful.
The longer I watch this the more I'm coming to terms that I've had eczema for years. Awesome. Thanks for the info though!
Mine was gone permanently through the help of DR OSEMUAHU on TH-cam you can contact him also he can help you …
Psoriasis since age 7 I think, developed after Strep throat. I hope so badly that my two kids don’t inherit it as well. My grandma had it, dad had it, I have it, as well as a niece. All on my dads side.
Happy Thursday! Thank you for your videos my fav TH-camr
Happy Thursday
Thank you!
awesome explaination, like the video.
After listening to this, I know it is psoriasis I have on my hand. I never was sure due to the doctors I have seen would not provide a definite diagnosis.
I currently have it on my right hand and elbow. I have a prescribed ointment but since it is messy I tend to not use it.
For the most part it is under control but there are times it flares up. I use a separate moisturizer, cream for my hands. A couple of years ago I started taking a probiotic and it improved greatly.
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.
I have RA, I was wondering the same thing
@@jessie9653 i have MS so i’ve wondered if my eczema could be related or correlated to inflammation elsewhere too
Neutrogena Norwegian formula hand cream seems to work wonders on my daughters eczema. Probably since it is so occlusive and balmy. 💜
Need to try that one
Thank you doctor 😊😊
Could you make a video about prurigo nodularis? Aside from eczema, I was also diagnosed with this and I've gone through treatments already but it just keeps coming back. I don't think I have the worst case because I only have like 1-2 active right now but it takes a pretty long time (months) before they go away and I don't know what to do anymore.
Very informative ❤
Thank you, definitely subscribing! I have Hidradenitis Suppurativa, right armpit and unmentionable area. I have what i think is Psoriasis on right forearm which was leftover from an all-body stress induced flare. You mentioned Guttate Psoriasis. I had the exact Guttate Psoriasis presentation that you showed in your related image, but a bit more severe. I didnt have a diagnosis of Guttate Psoriasis, instead my GP (General Doctor) said it looked like an infection and gave me antibiotics. Interestingly, you mentioned Streptococcus as a culprit in Guttate Psoriasis, thats interesting as that bacteria is a main opportunistic infector in Psoriasis.
Do you have any tips for me please? The Streptococcus have already shown resistance to Diacilin after a Hidradenitis Suppurativa post-surgical infection.
Thank you.
P.S Dermatology and Plastics have denied any attempts at re-referral to them stating my General Doctor must manage future problems. Quite anxiety prevoking as i have nodules starting in private areas.
I have had eczema since I was a kid. I just recently at 44 developed psoriasis from my scalp to my feet and everywhere inbetween ( inverse psoriasis) . I was on humira for hidradenitis suppurativa then got two back to back infections then developed Psoriasis. Its been two months since I stopped Humira. I still have the psoriasis everywhere. :(
Dear Dr. Dray, thank you for your caring and loving heart ❤️❤️💕💕! I suffer of eczema for 45 years now. And you are absolutely right it is impossible to stop from scratch. And only steroids can help esp on the eyes lids and lips.
Never use steroids around the eyes because steroids will damage the eyes!
Dr. Dray, thank you so very much for your Eczema vs. Psoriasis video and the other videos you've posted especially on Eczema. I never heard before that a person could have a gene deficiency of Filagrin, not spelled correctly. But what can a person do to offset and fill in the or help if they feel there is this gene problem? Is there anything they can do at all? Thanks for all your help and the advice you gave on another Eczema video. I just started using Aveeno Exzema Therapy Itch Relief Balm, and it is helping very much to alleviate my hands which are really suffering with an Eczema flare up right now. Just using it overnight for the first time, actually reduced some of the inflammation and calmed it, to help tame the itching feeling, so I could sleep better. I'm also taking a probiotic, vitamin D, niacin, and cod liver oil, to supplement my immune system. I'm also off of dairy products, and doing intermittent fasting daily with a keto diet. All of this is increasing autophagy to promote my immune system to be stronger. If you have any other ideas, I'd love to hear about those. Thanks for your continuing help and God Bless! :-))
Mine was gone permanently through the help of DR OSEMUAHU on TH-cam you can contact him also he can help you …
I had eczema as a kid and now psoriasis as an adult. They both suck, but for me psoriasis has been worse. Any damage to my skin will likely result in more psoriasis, but with eczema I felt like it was controllable.

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!
Haha. Was he a friend with family doctors who think you can’t have viral and bacterial infecțions at the șame time?
As someone who battled with severe psoriasis. The closest thing I got to a "cure” was getting put on an immune suppressant(Sotyktu) by my dermatologist. Steroid creams just weren’t cutting it… if anything they made it worse.
My granddaughter has had psoriasis since she was small, she was put on oral medication and it was under control but the side effect, which she was told, is testing positive for TB, she doesn’t have it but they had to take her off the medication until she no longer tests positive. I’ve had these red/brown patches on my skin since my teens, if I go out into the sun, I tan except in those areas. They go away in the winter months but the heat and wearing clothes in the summer, they come back. I just use a cortisone cream when I see them. On my arm, I have a red itchy small patch and am able to keep it under control with the cortisone cream.
Very informative. Do you have any advice for psoriatic nails? Methrotaxate has not helped in this area, but has worked for my skin and knee joints. Thanks. Love your videos!
my derm prescribed clobetasol propionate 0.05% cream for my body psoriasis and i can also use it on my nails (the skin around the nail) because i have a lot of pitting. talk to your derm!
Humira really helped with my nails. My nails and skin have been healthy for almost a decade now. Still get PsA flares but the skin and nails are clear.
I get these water blisters and no one could figure out why! Thank you!
Please make a video on lichen planus too
My poor daughter in law has such bad skin problems ..it does seem like she has both psoriasis and eczema.all over her body and face sometimes she can’t even move her neck as the skin becomes so dry and stiff.she’s been given steroids and steroid cream and sent on her way by the NHS .she’s had patch tests which were inconclusive.she has a heart of gold one of the nicest humans I’ve ever known ,I hate to see her suffer like she does.I hate to say this but it’s got worse since she met my son and they are very happy.could there be a link?
Please review Paula’s choice new CALM line
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
@@21972012145525 no it honestly relieves the itch for me almost instantly. Plus the cold doesn’t last long at all. It’s like a sec then your hands and body begin to warm it personally. It’s more uncomfortable always having to go to my kitchen for lotion haha.
@@kunikagosain9733 hey! With the wet wrapping apply you lotion, appointments whatever moisturizer you need. Then dampen a clean I believe cotton wrap, cotton clothing or gauze,place on the area. I wrapped my legs all the way up. Then wrap a dry layer on top pajamas or sweats. Honestly when I do mine at home. I used gauze and paper towels because that’s all I had then I wrapped cheese clothes around that then my pjs. I hope I explained that well! Oh you can leave it for several hours or overnight. Just don’t want it to dry out
@@Shellybellyy yes! I’d agree with that, especially if your itchy in bed 😓
Best advice GO to a board certified dermatologists!! It’s horrible having allergies they started while covid.. so now i have to take care more 😓
I have psoriasis and my husband and son have eczema. I gotta watch what laundry soap and shampoo we use, foods, types of clothing etc. Having these skin conditions is not fun :(
The other condition that kind of looks like psoriasis; the one that diabetics usually get, that leathery/velvety feeling overpigmentation. Acanthosis Nigricans.
Also gets worsened by friction.
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
After the second dose of the Biontech vaccine, I got skin symptoms on my eyelids, hands and forearms. 4 different dermatologists diagnosed psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and there was even a suggestion of tuberculosis. Among the ointments that broke through were those with corticosteroids, ointments with silver and for ringworm. To date, I do not have a clear diagnosis, but from the opinions of internists it would appear that I have suffered damage to the immune system and it comes out mainly on the skin.
