Think they are related. From what I have seen....
exzema is more like a rash... it alternates from a itchy burning to dry flaky patches.
psoriasis is usually more serious. It is scaley looking scabs. The ones I have seen have been round about nickle size.
Far as I know treatment is the same.

I wish that I knew more about it. I think eczema is more of a long term thing that can cover the body. and psoriasis deals with the scalp area..

Eczema is more of an allergy/stress reaction and psoriasis is an autoimmune disease.

took about five seconds to use a search engine to find these. Might try that yourself the next time you have such a generic question.
