Then it started on my legs a few weeks later and I recognised it from when I was 15 (14 years ago) and had similar then and was told it was psoriasis. So went back to the doctors.
They haven't still confirmed it as psoriasis but gave me some dovobet gel to try and it helped a few of them but as it's steroid gel can only use for 8 weeks.
Now it is on my lower legs, upper legs, stomach, back, arms and scalp, even one small patch on my face, just below my eye.
In a way I'm lucky because I've seen some photos online and I'm not covered. Still frustrating, itchy at times and makes me self conscious.
I have a doctors appointment again next Tuesday and hoping to get referred to a dermatologist.
I wanted to be able to show some photos and get your opinion, the ones on my stomach don't really scale over, they're just quite red. The ones on my legs dry out and so does my scalp! Anyway I'm waffling. Hello everyone and help needed
I got a lot of help here since Nov 2016.
Now i am all clean.
I had very similar rashes all over my body, mostly hands and legs, no scalp though...
The only treatment I was suggested - was the light therapy (derma doc).
I asked about gels - did not help me at all (Dovobit or something), so i gave it up creams.
Just UV lamp. At home, and followed the instructions.
And all my rashes are gone after three months of suffering
