Long and tiring. Trying to figure out if I have eczema or psoriasis. Google-fu is not helping me and is mostly making me think I have some kind of rare cancer. DAMN YOU INTERNET!

Re: Evening All

ROFL but srsly eczema has tiny, water-filled blisters that itch like you've dipped them in poison ivy. See a doctor if the blisters start appearing on your face or on/near your eyes as that can be bad news. Psoriasis is extra-dry skin in red patches that flakes, cracks, and bleeds - also itchy but nowhere near like eczema.

(er from what I remember of family members who had both conditions)

See, I am 90% certain I have sebaceous dermatitis (as evidenced by flaky/scaly oil skin centered around my nose). BUT! I have these weird, itchy bumps on my elbow (just one). They don't always itch and they are skin colored. So no idea what it could be.

I'm sure you've come across this condition in your research, but in case you haven't: do the bumps on your elbow look anything like this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keratosis_pilaris)? KP isn't always red like in the picture; I have bumps all over my upper arms and back, and mine are the same color as my skin. When my skin is dry, they can be itchier than the rest of my skin.

DA This is not true. Eczema can present in a number of different ways, including how you've described psioriasis. Water filled blisters can also be a number of other skin issues including impetigo.

LOL! I don't think I've ever successfully self-diagnosed online. It usually always adds up to rare cancer!

For a layman it can be impossible to distinguish between the two. See a dermatologist, or try treatments and see how they respond.

Seriously though, see a doctor rather than trying to diagnose yourself.

I know. :( But I have to save up money for it. And the nearest dermatologist is 2 hours away. So, I gotta wait for the holidays to be over so I am not missing work more.

Not a doctor or anything, but every few months I tend to get a red flaky itchy patch of skin somewhere on my body (usually the torso or face), and also sometimes get this red itchy tiny blisters on one of my fingers. These things definitely flair up more when I'm stressed. I went to the doctor once when I was younger with the red itchy patches and he said eczema.

Aaaaanyway, the point of this comment is that I don't bother to go to the doctor about these patches, I just smother them in some heavy duty moiturising cream every few hours and otherwise leave them be. And usually they clear up in about a week. Maybe even go to a pharmacy and asking for some over the counter eczema cream. And, you know, if they get worse/persist for a weird amount of time (like, a month) go to the doctor.
