Skin Conditions
Eczema
Eczema can be acute or chronic. It is a kind of skin inflammation and is non-contagious.
It mainly manifests on the face, eyelids, arms, front part of elbows, hands, backside of knees, legs, behind ears, and also can be on many other parts of the body. It is characterized by an itching/burning sensation and inflamed with red skin patches, pimples, dryness, crusts, or scabs, or it may discharge a watery fluid which is often aggravated in the warmer weather.
The causes of eczema can be from external irritations, allergic reactions, exposure to chemicals or particular microorganisms, or diet, etc. Emotional stress, insomnia or lack of sleep, unbalanced diet, overexertion can exacerbate or worsen conditions of eczema.
According to Traditional Chinese Medical philosophy, without proper treatment and management of eczema, sufferers are prone to a weaker immune system and that may lead to more severe conditions such as Hives, Sinusitis, or Asthma or other internal organ disorders.

Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a common, chronic, recurrent, inflammatory skin disease which is characterized by rounded, circular, red, dry, scaling patches of various sizes, sharply bordered rash with overlapping silvery, imbricate, and lamellar scales.
People often suffer with red, inflamed, scaly , flakey itch skin and excessive discharge of pus or blood from excessive scratching.
Psoriasis mainly appears on the scalp, nails, surfaces of the limbs, the elbows, the knees, ankles, and the lower back to bottom region.
In many cases of psoriasis there is a family history of the condition.
The causes of psoriasis are still not clearly known. However, from clinical studies and clinical experience we found that psoriasis can be heredity. We also consider it to be related to virus infection, immune disorder, emotional stress, metabolism disorder, hormone disorder, diet, etc.
Psoriasis is very unpleasant and it affects quality of life. A chronic psoriasis patient may have a higher risk of arthritis in the finger joints or lower spine. No one should put up with it untreated!
