What is the difference between psoriasis and eczema in children?
Psoriasis and eczema are both inflammatory disorders of the skin manifested in children. Eczema in children can improve into adulthood and is associated with asthma and hay fever. The course of psoriasis is less predictable and tends to be more persistent. Both are scaly skin rashes, with eczema being more symptomatic (itchy) and psoriasis more asymptomatic.
