Eczema is a form of dermatitis, or inflammation of the upper layers of the skin. It is a general term for a number of skin conditions broadly characterized by dry, red, irritated patches of skin. These patches often itch and sometimes have sores that weep or peel. The most common, recognisable and chronic form of eczema is Atopic Dermatitis. Symptoms of this condition often include irritation on the inside of the elbow, the back of the knee, and on the face or hands. The condition is almost always itchy and may present as scaly or crusted skin. The condition is hereditary and appears to be triggered by either external contact or internal ingestion of an allergen. In 90% of these cases, symptoms appear before the age of 5. It affects men and women of all races equally and at any given time, approximately 15 million people in the United States are afflicted with Atopic Dermatitis (1% – 2% of the population). Psoriasis is an auto immune disorder which affects the skin. It is a chronic, non-contagious skin irritation characterized by abnormally rapid growth of skin cells that result in thick scaly patches that can be red or white in colour. Scaly patches usually appear on hands, feet, lower back, elbows, knees or scalp. While there is no cure for psoriasis, treatment by way of OTC products is suitable for mild to moderate cases (up to 10% of the body affected). An estimated 4.5 million American adults currently live with some degree of Psoriasis.
