New here - help needed

[Fred]

Good Evening all 

I had the doctors this morning, he has advised I emailed him some photographs of the psoriasis, he is going to get a dermatologist to have a look. I presume this is because of the 18 week waiting list to see one, I guess I can get a professional opinion on it that way.

Also took some bloods, I have been having night sweats since about October/November so not sure if the bloods are for that or for the skin, or both maybe.

Always leave a doctors feeling confused, does that happen to anyone else?

Anyway I have a catch up appointment on the 21st march.

To be fair a GP can only know so much, and skin problems are difficult to diagnose.

At least your GP is going to contact a dermatologist with the images, they should be able to tell a bit more from them and it will get you on the ladder.

Blood tests are not a great way to find psoriasis but they can show a lot of things, so it's good to have them.
