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...

Au contraire! Just look at the title: "New Immune Cells Hint at Eczema Cause."
Immunological dysfunction is at the root of both disorders.
An allergic reaction is a function of what?
The immune system.
So glad to hear you have found relief!! I know a few people who have psoriasis and I’m super happy to hear there have been advances in the last five years. I am an eczema suffer. Which is tough. But I do have a handle own what NOT to do to cause it. Psoriasis however seemed a much more difficult battle. I can break out with eczema from my head to my toes. Based on the smallest stress. No sun, can’t use most body washes. Many sunscreens cause it on contact. Skin diseases are so odd.
