To understand the difference, let us start with an overview before diving deep into the definition of both these skin concerns.
Psoriasis and Dermatitis have many similar signs, but there are way to identify the one. Psoriasis is the overgrowth of cells leading to think, scaly, itchy skin. While, Dermatitis is mostly a hypersensitivity of the skin to clothes, chemicals, food, or any other object.
What is Psoriasis?
To elaborate, Psoriasis is mainly an autoimmune disorder causing overgrowth of skin cells. It is similar to Atopic Dermatitis, caused by the body’s defense mechanism, identifying the own skin’s cells as foreign bodies and attacking them.
In most cases, Psoriasis can be kept in control or its severity can be reduced but can not be cured. So learning to live with Psoriasis is the only option. Psoriasis is not contagious, though the same family members can be affected.
What is Dermatitis
Dermatitis is seen more commonly in children and can be cured permanently with the age or by removing skin’s exposure from the allergens. Unlike psoriasis, itching is more common in dermatitis. A person with hay fever and asthma are on higher risk of getting affected by dermatitis.
The easiest way to differentiate between both is, if there is a thick, silvery-white patch on the skin with the itch, it can be psoriasis. If there is a red, painful sensation on the skin, it can be dermatitis.
When you meet a dermatologist for any of this concern, the chances are that they will prescribe topical steroids with Vaseline or any kind of heavy moisturizer. While there is nothing wrong with using these products, it's better if we can cure these concerns with natural solutions. This way, the results will be safer and more sustainable.
Currently, at Brillare, we have a 100% natural yet very effective solution Ultimate Soothing Oil for treating Dermatitis but unfortunately, we do not have the solution for psoriasis. Hopefully, we will have the solution for Psoriasis also, very soon.
