Try cutting sugar, gluten & nightshades out of your diet, sugar & gluten play havoc with my psoriasis.

I've had gastric surgery so not had sugar or gluten for 3 months and it's the worst it's ever been.

My DM has it, and yours does look like hers. I also have some minor patches on my elbows and they can be very itchy!

Tell your doctor you'd like to be referred to a Dermatologist. Only they can say for certain what it is. There will probably be a waiting list, so better to get a referral sooner rather than later. Good luck.

I have the red psoriasis patches on my legs. Acupuncture and moxibustion has helped calm it down a bit.

Looks similar to my eczema, have you tried Hc45? It’s a really mild Hycrocortisone that help stop the itching as well as treats the eczema and it can be used for psoriasis. You can pick it up in most chemists over the counter.

Thanks I'll try that.
