Psoriasis vs. eczema: Symptoms, causes, and treatment

Psoriasis and eczema can both cause dry, scaly skin. However, the causes and treatments are different. Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition, while eczema often flares up in response to certain triggers.

Psoriasis occurs when the immune system causes skin cells to grow faster than usual, and dead cells build up on the skin’s surface instead of falling away.

Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, causes swelling, dryness, rashes, and itchiness. Healthcare professionals still do not know the cause.

Both conditions can cause flushed, irritated, and itchy skin, but they have different causes and treatments. Below, we explore the similarities and differences in detail.

There are several types of psoriasis, and the symptoms can vary. Plaque psoriasis is the most common type, representing 80–90% of psoriasis cases.

• scaly
• itchy
• differently sized

It is important to note that psoriasis can present differently depending on the color of a person’s skin. An inexperienced doctor may find it difficult to diagnose for this reason.

On white skin, for example, psoriasis can cause red patches, while on dark skin, it can cause gray, purple, or ashen patches. Psoriasis may be more severe in skin of color.

Eczema is most common in babies and children, but it can affect adolescents and adults. There are several types of eczema, but some common symptoms include:

• dry skin
• itchy skin
• rashes inside the elbows, behind the knees, and on the face, hands, and feet

Certain factors can trigger psoriasis episodes or worsen ongoing ones.

Some examples of these triggers include:

• infections
• dry, cold weather
• sunburn and hot weather
• excess alcohol consumption
• smoking
• stress
• certain medications, such as lithium and some high blood pressure medications

Takeaways

Psoriasis treatment creams are easy to use and help relieve uncomfortable psoriasis symptoms like itching and dryness, improve the appearance of your skin, control flare-ups, and slow the growth of skin cells. If over-the-counter psoriasis treatment creams like salicylic acid and hydrocortisone creams don’t manage your symptoms, talk to your doctor about prescription creams. They may recommend other prescription-strength options like retinoids, tapinarof, and anthralin.

What is the best topical agent for psoriasis? Corticosteroids and vitamin D analogue are likely the best topical agents for psoriasis. They work well, and most people have no serious side effects.

What is the best prescription cream for psoriasis? The best prescription cream for psoriasis will depend on how serious your symptoms are. Your doctor can help you choose the best one for you.

What is the first-line topical treatment for psoriasis? Your doctor will likely prescribe mild corticosteroid creams first to treat your psoriasis symptoms.

Prescription Psoriasis Treatment Creams

Stronger steroids (corticosteroids) work better if you have more than a few small patches of psoriasis, especially in areas that are harder to treat, like knees and elbows.

Steroids sometimes work better when they’re used along with other medications.

Non-steroid topicals include roflumilast (Zoryve) and tapinarof (Vtama).

The side effects include:

• Thin skin
• Changes in skin color
• Bruising
• Stretch marks
• Broken blood vessels

Make sure you follow your doctor's directions. Using steroids too often has been linked to serious health problems, including certain kinds of cancer.

Vitamin D analogue topicals have lab-made vitamin D in them. These ointments, gels, creams, lotions, foams, and solutions make your skin cells grow more slowly. Over the long term, they may be safer for you than steroids, but they can irritate your skin.

Your doctor will probably suggest you use small amounts twice a day. Be careful not to get it on your healthy skin.

Some of these medications can make you sick if you swallow them, so keep them away from children and pets. And make sure your doctor knows what other medicines you take. Some can stop vitamin D products from working.

Vitamin D analogues include:

• Calcipotriene (Calcitrene, Dovonex, Sorilux)
• Calcitriol (Rocaltrol, Vectical)
• Tacalcitol (Bonalfa, Curatoderm)

Your doctor also may recommend that you use vitamin D along with a steroid. Two combination medications, Enstilar and Taclonex, each contain both calcipotriene (vitamin D) and betamethasone dipropionate (a steroid).

Tapinarof (Vtama) is a new steroid-free topical cream that is an aryl hydrocarbon receptor (ARH) agonist approved to treat moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in adults. Applied once a day, it can be used on sensitive areas of the body and is safe for long-term use. A similar treatment is roflumilast (Zoryve).
