Q:What's the medical difference btw eczema, psoriasis, seboria(?)

Question:

> Thanks for a great post. Simple and to the point. Focused. > And now i’d like to take all that p down to 2.6% severity.

NP. My pleasure. I’m on my own little p-ihad at the moment (BTW – I love that term!). Personally I find the cruiser’s posts interesting if nothing else. It’s certainly refreshing to get a different P-erspective… Jon

Not sure if I spelled the last name correctly.  A few months ago I got red spots & heavy flakes in my scalp as well as a few red sores with similar flakes on a couple of places on my body, back & leg.  I was given fluocinonide but it hasn’t really done anything.  I am to meet again with my dermatologist, but am interesting in knowing what’s the difference?  Can I tell by looking? TIA, Dave…

Hi Dave, Sounds like psoriasis to me. I’m not a qualified doctor (there, disclaimer out of the way), but you might like to take a look at these links; Eczema http://www.dermis.net/doia/diagnose.asp?zugr=d&lang=e&diagnr=690020&t… Psoriasis http://www.dermis.net/doia/diagnose.asp?zugr=d&lang=e&diagnr=696110&t… Seborrheic Dermatitis http://umed.med.utah.edu/MS2/derm/lect12/slide81.JPG In my experience, psoriasis and seborrheic derm can often be confused. However, eczema is usually more easily identifiable. HTH, Jon

Hi Jon, You may not be a qualified board certified dermo doc, but you are a pretty durn good info provider. Thanks for the walk down bad memory lane. If i took it more often, my P zealotry may flare up for good. Some of us that have fought the battle to a reduced p level, now have short memories of where we came from and how we got there. Or is that from p to eternity and back? Heck the cruiser is on a P-ihad to quash his last 1% and Maddie won’t sacrifice life quality to go the 1000 miles to the extra clearing. And some find a little succor just venting their p angst. I’m guilty for that one without even thinking about it. We let P color our entire world view. The P weltanschauung is  snowy for all seasons and when the reasons don’t even matter as to P. Oh well, i guess your pic’s are worth a thousand words. I wonder what they speak to those of that P severity? Like, how much P before one goes www.thewholewhey.com  ? I checked out the photos and enlarged a few and whew! Thanks for a great post. Simple and to the point. Focused. And now i’d like to take all that p down to 2.6% severity. randall… visually stimulated to go on a p-ihad?
