Avatar n tn The doctor was perhaps suspecting Psoriasis, and this happens in psoriasis too. Do you have any other lesion which is like a psoriatic lesion? What is you age and sex? Let us know the answers to these queries and we will try and focus your problem to possible diagnoses.

They sometimes use UV light treatment but this is a lot harder on the scalp if you have hair. A dermatologist has things they can prescribe. My son doesn't have psoriasis but another fungal issue. He uses a special shampoo that controls it.
Avatar n tn Trauma is known to precipitate psoriasis.Quite possible.
1745647 tn?1394105276 it could be psoriasis or another form of dermatitis that followed chilblains or if it was an infection it would be fungal, not bugs like dust mites or scabies. what doesn't look like an infection is that the tip of the nail is intact. look up on google toe nail infections.

Avatar n tn Hi There can be various causes for reddish spots on the ankles and feet. The common ones are scabies, eczema, lichen planus, psoriasis, fungal infection (tinea pedis), erythema multiforme, dyshidrotic dermatitis, etc. Lichen planus lesions are discrete, individual lesions of 1 to 2 mm in diameter or larger, coalesced lesions of 4 to 5 mm in diameter. Typically, the lesions are polygonal, purple, itchy papules.
Avatar m tn To confirm the diagnosis and to differentiate between atopic dermatitis and psoriasis a biopsy skin needs to be done. Please get it done from a dermatologist. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Avatar n tn However, to this day, I still have faint white spots from the rash on my stomach and sides (which may have been this guttate form of psoriasis.
Avatar n tn All these may suggest that this is likely a chronic inflammatory condition. Chronic inflammatory conditions may involve a fungal infection, dermatitis and psoriasis. A microscopic evaluation of the scales from the area may help determine if a fungal infection is likely here. This would be a first step towards management. Once an infectious process is ruled out here, then psoriasis may be likely differential.
Avatar n tn About 4 weeks ago I had protected sex with a female prostitute, however I also suffer from Psoriasis and have it on the base-shaft of my penis, i think most of it was covered by the condom however I noticed when i removed the condom the base of my penis was more raw than it had been prior to sex, I assume because of the friction. I am concerend because ipossible not all of my penis was covered.
Avatar m tn could be from eczema,psoriasis, you should check with a dermatologist.
Avatar n tn Hi I do understand your concern here. This sounds like a fungal infection, a dermatitis or psoriasis. These skin conditions do present with scaling and itchiness. Dermatitis and fungal infections may present with redness while psoriasis as in cases of inverse psoriasis may present with redness also. Psoriasis appears with scales and they may manifest in the groin area. I would suggest that a microscopic evaluation of the scales be done to ascertain if a fungal infection is present.

It is approximately 3 inches from his neck up & goes all the way across from ear to ear. I have a picture just not sure how to attach it. We cannot keep paying for dr.s when they cant even agree on what it is. We need to get it taken care of, we have been trying & dealing with it for the last 7 years now.
615350 tn?1272598969 I seen a doctor and he tested for fungus and did some blood work. No infection and no fungus, blood work normal.Doctor did say it blanched. Whatever that means. Can't get in to see a Derm for another two months. The spots are increasing everyday. They seems to be on the covered parts of my body The only changes in my life are that I got a kitten in late October.

Avatar m tn Well, I've had this problem for around two weeks plus now and since the beginning, here's what has worked and what hasn't.
Avatar m tn While it is antihistaminics, topical and oral steroids for eczema and antifungal for fungal infection, the treatment of psoriasis that have been approved by FDA are adalimumab and Xtrac Velocity excimer laser system. Apart from that, topical medications like emollients, creams containing coal tar, dithranol, corticosteroids, fluocinonide, vitamin D3 analogues and retinoids have been routinely used. So before using any treatment it is advisable to consult a dermatologist. I hope it helps.
Avatar f tn "Genentech withdrew its psoriasis drug Raptiva from the market yesterday, citing the risk of developing progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a rare, often fatal brain infection. The drug will be phased out by June 8 of this year, according to a statement by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)." http://www.the-scientist.com/templates/trackable/display/blog.jsp?
