Psoriasis Eczema

Is this Psoriasis or eczema?

For about 5 years now (I'm a teen) I've had these red bumpy patches of skin on my upper arms and butt (it looks different from the arms) that often turn into postules. People tell me all the time it's eczema (at least on my arms, I haven't told people about my butt) but it doesn't itch at all. I think it's heredatary because my dad has it and my mom had it when she was younger. So do you guys think it's eczema or psoriasis? Any treatment suggestions would be nice too. Thank you so much!
BTW, Psoriasis is...

but I'm pretty sure I'd have a mild case of it if I did.
And Eczema is...

and the picture to the right looks a lot like my arms, but not so much my rear.

I have had eczema my whole life and trust me... it itches. (A LOT)
Here are Psoriasis Signs and Symptoms

Signs and Symptoms
Dry, red patches of skin are the most well-known symptoms of psoriasis. The skin replaces itself more quickly than normal, causing excess skin cells to pile up in thick layers. Roughly half of people with psoriasis also have irregular fingernail growth that results in pitting, crumbling, or discoloration of the nail. A smaller proportion of people also experience arthritis symptoms.

Psoriasis may begin with small red bumps that eventually grow into large patches of dry skin that flake off in scales. Patches of affected skin often are symmetrical, meaning that they are present in the same place on both sides of the body. Some areas of the body are more likely to be affected, including the scalp, face, arms, hands, legs, groin, feet, and places where the skin folds.

As you can see, nowhere does it list itching. I did a little more research and found out you can have slight itching with psoriasis but not always. Eczema or dermatitis is really itchy. You should see a dermatologist because they have recently come out with some new treatments for psoriasis, if thats what the doctor prescribes you with.
For a temporary fix, buy some fragrance free sea salt at a local health store and pour it into a warm bath. This really soothes the skin, but you really need to get a medication in the long run. I hope you find this information helpful.

Or, you could just have an allergy to a laundry detergent and have neither. You really need to see a doctor to be sure.

Mother Nature has a remedy for psoriasis, eczema and rheumatism

If you suffer from psoriasis, eczema or rheumatism then you will know that despite the efforts of medical science to find a cure, none exist! There are many psoriasis, eczema and rheumatism “remedies” out there on the market but, at best, they bring limited and temporary relief and, at worse, can cause harm because of the chemicals used in their production.

In modern society, we are all too aware of the preference for natural solutions to medical problems. Such a solution exists for psoriasis, eczema and rheumatism and it’s called the Dead Sea.

OK - I can hear you now: “But that’s miles away”, “It’ll cost a fortune, and what happens after?” and “What about the family?” Read on - it’ll be worth your while!

The Dead Sea - truly excellent value for money

Scientific research has shown what people knew 5000 years ago, that the water and mud of the Dead Sea, combined with its dry air have a remarkable therapeutic effect, especially on sufferers from psoriasis, eczema or rheumatism.

Mineral rich water and mud that clean and revitalize the skin, clean dry air that lets your skin breath and recuperate, sunlight with very low levels of UV radiation that also replenish your skins growth and health. All in all, a perfect package for patients with psoriasis, eczema and rheumatism.

I know what you’re saying “Get to the point!” OK, here it is

A course of treatment at the Dead Sea will clear up all the damage caused to your skin by psoriasis or eczema and bring relief from rheumatoid pain for up to one year with no need for booster treatments. What’s more, when signs of the complaint begin to reappear, its development is slower and less aggressive.

And there is one more benefit – taking a vacation with the entire family in one of the most amazing spots on earth.

So, what do you say now?
