Hello all
I have never had any sort of skin problem. However over the past few months I have had 'something' develop on my scalp. It started as clustered clumps of 'dandruff' on my scalp, but nothing to bad. I went to see GP who give me some coconut coal stuff, she said it was caused by stress. Then a few months later, I developed quite bad dry skin behind my ears, of which became infected and started weeping. Then my head became significantly worse, it become very very sore and cracked. It feels like it is burning and the skin is very tight. I can easily simply scratch my head and my nails will be full of 'clumps' of white / yellow stuff. Sometimes my scalp also weeps to the point that it soaks my hair at the back. I have looked at it when it has been oozing and it seems to be a greenish liquid seeping. Its becoming increasingly sore and I am still not sure what it is. My dr gave me some steriod cream for behind my ears, and antibiotics but nothing else for my hair. The coal stuff I got earlier this year does not work and actually hurts very much because I am putting it on sore cracked skin. Does this sound like psoriasis?
Thanks all
