Wonder if this will help find a cure for psoriasis also one day.
The two aren't related.
Psoriasis is a disorder of the immune system. Eczema is more of an allergic disease. So they aren't really related.
I have psoriasis. At the moment the symptoms are being completely controlled by Humira. I mean, it's like I never had the disease. The advances in treating psoriasis have been remarkable in the last five years. My dermatologist (great guy, BTW) told me there are like four different causes of psoriasis but they all manifest themselves in the same way. So there are different drugs to treat the different causes. Luckily for me, Humira was the first of these new treatments I tried and it worked like a charm.
Funny thing is, my doctor told me that, while they have these wonderful new treatments, they still have no idea what psoriasis is or how or why it starts, except that it is hereditary. It's one of the weirdest diseases out there, a total mystery...
Yeah, psoriasis is what I was thinking about, as well.
