Disease/Condition Glossary
Psoriasis: Psoriasis is a skin disorder characterised by flaky patches of skin covered with scales. It is a long-term (chronic) condition that often involves periods of none or mild symptoms followed by periods of more severe symptoms. The severity of psoriasis varies widely across individuals.
Eczema: Eczema is a medical illness in which the skin becomes red, swollen, and irritated, occasionally with small blisters, as a result of direct skin irritation or an allergic reaction to an external factor.
Dermatitis: Dermatitis is a red and itchy rash that occurs after coming into contact with a chemical or having an allergic reaction to it. When the substance causing the problem is identified and avoided, dermatitis usually improves or disappears completely.
