Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition. It can be found in both children and adults.

Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease that causes the skin’s life cycle to accelerate. Dead skin cells rapidly accumulate, creating rough, dry, red patches or scales that can itch or hurt. An estimated 7.55 million U.S. adults have psoriasis.

“It’s possible that you have pain or itching on the skin around your ear. If this is the case, you might notice a build up of skin scales or wax in the ear. This can make hearing difficult.”

According to a 1992 study, approximately 18 percent of people diagnosed with psoriasis will end up with patches of affected skin on or near their ears.

You might have psoriasis if you notice a consistent pain or itching on the skin around your ear. The National Psoriasis Foundation says psoriasis usually occurs in the external ear canal. Regardless of where on your ear it occurs, you may have a buildup of scales or wax, making it difficult to hear.

Your sphygmomanesis symptoms might include:

  • “There are areas of skin that won’t heal.”
  • Dry or cracked skin can bleed.
  • Hearing loss from blocked ears.

Psoriatic arthritis can cause nails with pits or ridges to feel swollen or rigid.

It is common for the disease to spread to the face. You might notice it in your eyes, mouth, and nose. A small number of people may have scurvy on their lips, tongue, or cheeks.

You may be referred to a dermatologist after an initial consultation with a primary doctor.

There are several ways to treat the disease. Some treatment options are better suited for you. If you have any medication allergies, talk to your doctor about treatment.

Q:

What is the difference between the two?

A:

“Psoriasis is a skin disease that occurs when cells in the outer layer of skin reproduce faster than usual and pile up on the skin’s surface. This causes irritation of the skin. Psoriasis is not a contagious disease.”

“Eczema is a general term. It covers various skin conditions. Atopic dermatitis is a common form of the skin condition. Approximately 10 to 20 percent of the world’s population is affected by this chronic, relapsing, and very itchy rash during childhood. Many children with the disease find that it disappears with age.”
