Hi everyone, I've come here for some help, some hope and some answers. Hopefully I find one or all of those things. My story starts just recently, about a month and a half ago. I begin getting one stop on my stomach. It was perfectly round and very itchy. Then I noticed several more spots over the course of a month: two on my shoulders, about 7 on my neck. They are all the same: they start as tiny little red bumps, almost like a pimple and itch like crazy. Then over the course of a few days they begin to expand out and raise up. They begin to flake on the top of the bump. They are never more than a dime in circumference. They usually last about 2-3 weeks then reduce in size and itch, leaving a bit of a mark.
I went to the doctor twice about this. The first time she suspected ringworm and gave me a fungal cream. That actually seemed to help, but my 2 week skin scraping test for ringworm came back negative. After, I got some more spots so I went to a different doctor who said it looked like psoriasis. I've looked at pictures on the internet of psoriasis and mine doesn't really look like it.
the Doc gave me a steroid cream to put on, and I feel like it's not helped at all, but it's only been 2 days. According to me story does this sound like psoriasis? I do also have another autoimmune disorder and I've heard that usually if you have one AID you'll have another.
I'm getting really stressed about this as every day I wake up and find a new stop in a totally random place! And they itch SO MUCH. Any thoughts? Does my issue sound like psoriasis?
