To kick this off, it’s probably important you know a bit about both psoriasis and eczema. They’re both skin conditions, and present in similar ways, which is why a lot of people confuse them.

Eczema tends to present as red and inflamed skin. You might find that it’s scaly, crusted, or oozing. Sometimes, you’ll run into rough, leathery patches - they’re usually a little darker. A common sign of eczema is also swelling.
