Can anyone help? Guttate? Pics

Dear jigglypuff83:

I am so sorry you are having this experience and wished there was something I could do for you. I have plaque p which looks like the pictures that I saw. If you dermatologist does not know what it is, my advice to you is to seek one that knows what he / she is doing. My patches on my legs look like yours, some are big some are small and itch constantly. If you do not have it get some Eucerin Cream/Lotion or some Aveeno. I think the Eucerin is the best but it is expensive. It is worth it!!

In the meantime, you might want to purchase some Aveeno Oatmeal bath to calm it down. It has helped me tremendously!! I am just starting some light treatments at a derm.'s office which I think I am starting to see some improvements. You might want to check that out but as I said, find a derm that knows what they are doing.

Keep us posted on your treatments. Take care.......

Hi everyone,

Thank you for all your replies.

Unfortunately I'm stuck with my derm as I'm in the UK and you get what you're given on the NHS! The Dr I'm seeing is the top one in the hospital though. I've checked and my results are in and she's reviewing them tomorrow, hopefully I'll find out by the end of the week and wont have to wait for my follow-up appointment in October.

Mourningdive - I'm pretty sure I've not been in contact with any chemicals. At first I thught it was my washing powder, but changed it and it still kept getting worse. I can't think of anything else I came into contact with.

I've been looking at more pics and these two look very similar to mine:

Especially that last one - not as red any more, looks a bit more like scarring IYKWIM. I'm still convinced it doesn't look like eczema.

Although I don't get scales. My skin is peeling but not scaling (although my elbows did at first). Is that just because I'm keeping it moiturised? Some pics of P I've seen have huge white scales, others (like the two above) don't?

Hey just wanted to let you know Those pics look just like what I have. Took the 3 docs and a month and half for a dermatologist to diagnosis it as psoriasis. Ive been on topical meds for 5 days and have shown some massive improvement. I would really talk to your talk about being treated for psorasis..
