HELP??? what kind of skin rash is this??
george
I have posted pictures on
http://www.picturetrail.com/skinrash
Is there anyone who is in medical or dermatology field can advise me
what is this skin rash.
Its affecting my forearm, hand, feet and legs. I have those red spots
with white peak or white thin skin on top for the past 2 months. It
suddenly appeared after I have work in insulation (putting insulation in
the basement, i was wearing gloves..but don't think it related)
It itches, when I scratch to relief the itch, its gets redder, and
sometime peaks of blood appeared.
I have that on my legs in the past 5 yrs...but it's on my hands and feet
that is suddenly happen (in the past 2 months)
My family doctor is not sure what it is, he prescribe me some cream but
that didn't work.
Is anyone can advise me what it is, and what could be possible cure I
would appreciated.
I am a 45 yr. gay male. In good health in general.

No one from those fields would do that here. Not ethically anyway.

Yet it may be an allergic reaction to the glass. We've had many folks
who onset with Psoriasis after similar triggers. But if yours is P
related
then it would be in the guttate stage now and it would seem to be
hanging around for much longer then usual. Possibly negating that
diagnosis.

Bad news. If psoriasis it simply gets worse over time, usually.

I'll need to google nix and pix. For Kwellada did you mean kalawalla?
My usefulness in finding nix and pix didn't pan out.
Erm, "uselessness."
Deja vu!

No. Go find one today and grease him with a few bucks and get
some closure already.
Then let us know.

All p does for many of us, if left untreated is get worse.

Contact Dermatitis unless you are worried about your sex orientation being
something to do with it? That has nothing to do with psoriasis. We all can
get that!
There's a lot of hazards in your line of work.

acute guttate Psoriasis. From the pictures, and your description, it
appears to resemble characteristics of guttate Psoriasis. I have
lesions exactly the same as your pictures on my arms. Fortunately my
arms are one of the better areas for me. My legs are more or less
entirely covered with lesions (red, rounded 'spots') that dry out
rapidly, itch like crazy, than bleed after a vigorous scratching
session!
What made me respond to your question was reading about your visit to
the GP. I was diagnosed with: Hand, Foot & Mouth, Dermatitis,
SCABIES!!!!! (incorrectly I might add!), Ponphlax?? Foliclitis And even
admitted to Hospital before seeing a dermatologist who instantly
diagnosed Guttate Psoriasis, which was reconfirmed by the fact I
suffered a bought of tonsillitis 1 week prior to my 1st ever flare up.
I am currently awaiting a date for a tonsillectomy, I have been
prescribed emoillents, steroid creams and coal tar shampoo, as I also
have scalp psoriasis. I also receive UV therapy at hospital three
times a week. I must say I haven't noticed much improvement yet, but i
was only diagnosed about three weeks ago(and believe me the scabies
treatment really didn't help!)
Just to put your mind at ease, from the pictures yours seems to be
relatively mild but i would recommend Trimovate (prescription only) for
areas with hair growing, but a cream called doublebase works well for
eleviating the itch on dry areas, but has done little so far for
helping them to disappear. You may find Betnovate RD (again
prescription only) useful to try to help them go away as this is a
topical steroid cream.
I hope I have been of some use. Debbie, age 23.

Welcome to the group!
The P news group is searchable for your condition.
http://groups.google.com/groups/search?q=guttate+psoriasis&qt_s=Search
So the link wasn't to long I used the search all groups box.
But once you open one or two threads you can see how
the P group search box functions.
Before i forget, let us know if you clear your guttate after the
tonsils are removed.
Or if you settle in with plain old psoriasis vulgaris.
It is possible that once those tonsils, that are the source of the
inflammation (LPS),
are removed that you will clear up.
One can certainly hoPe anyway...

Thank you very much for your response. It is confronting to read from
someone who had similar situation.
I have seeing 3 different medical doctors from walk-in clinics in the past
month, so far they haven't really put the finger on it. My last exam with
one of them conclude to be "scabies". She prescribe me some cortisone
cream called Topicort...that seems to have little effectness on my skin. I
am not sure but it seems to spread more the rash... i have some small
pimples on my back shoulders and and some on my stomach where there no hair
grow. My family doctor had prescribed me some Betarderm Cream. That only
kind of relief the itching and bring down the reddish color on my
legs....but it still there. Nothing had disappeared since i have tried
those cream...actually its accumulating. I wash my bedding almost twice a
week in hot water with detergent and javex. Also i tried to avoid wearing
sock and pant and shirt the next day.
So far, none of the diagnose by any doctors have conclude with affirmative
what exactly i got. It seem i have 2 types of rashes. What i have on my
hands i have it on my legs and foot, but also have those reddish scabs
after i scratch an area on my legs. Anyway, my appointment with a
dermatologist is not until late this year. So the summer will be quite
embarrassing for me. I am gonna dope myself with vitamin D and E since
they good for y our skin.
Any more suggestion on how to cure this damn rash..pls come forward.

Please read up if you're not aware, vitamin D can help, but too much
vitamin D can be very dangerous. E is topically soothing, and pretty
much harmless even in large doses, internal or external.

Thank you for response.
I'll keep that in mind regarding Vitamin D.
One had suggested me to go to a tanning salon.
