Answer by uchaboo
Psoriasis are huge, big flakes that are usually in the hair. They look like mega size dandruff. As for eczema, it is a condition that affects the skin. Like, for example, I get that around my neck every summer. It is usually white and itchy. I have to use a cream every time, during the summer, to control the itching. Personally, I think it is like hives. That’s what i think.

Question by Dab: What’s the difference between Eczema and Pityriasis Rosea?

Best answer:

Answer by ghostrider
Eczema is a general term for rash-like skin conditions. The most common type of eczema is called atopic dermatitis, which is an allergic reaction. Eczema is often very itchy and when you scratch it, the skin becomes red and inflamed.

It occurs in adults and children, but most often appears on babies. You are more likely to have eczema if you have a family history of the condition.

Pityriasis rosea is a rash that usually begins with a large, scaly, pink patch on the chest or back, which is called a “herald” or “mother” patch. It is frequently confused with ringworm, but antifungal creams do not help because it is not a fungus.

Pityriasis rosea often requires no treatment and it usually goes away by itself. However, treatment may include external or internal medications for itching.

Pityriasis rosea is most common in the spring and fall.
