Hello, so im a 20 year old male that last December started having a little spot of dandruff in my eyebrow. Eventually it developed and i had dandruff at my hairline and very much of both my eyebrows/right above them. At the time i could just scrape it off and my face would be totally clean.
Then i started getting a rash around and underneath it, my skin was red and itchy and sometimes started to produce some form of liquid when i picked the flakes. It also spread to 2 small spots on either side of my nose and one directly on my nose right between the nostrils.
I haven't been to a dermatologist yet, because of horrific waiting lists. But i have been to 2 different doctors a few times, and now they both seem to think it is psoriasis while early on it was treated as sebborheic dermatitis.
Im just so lost and confused, im tired of it getting worse and worse every day and my doctor seems to not care at all.
I was prescribed something called Locoid, which is some clear liquid that burns when i apply it. First time i used it for about a week and it cleared my face completely, i was so happy (this was before they told me it could be psoriasis) but then it came back and now it seems the Locoid is barely working and my face just gets worse and worse.
I still have 2 months till i can see a dermatologist and my own doctor just tells me to apply the Locoid more than i have been. Im starting university in a week and i maybe im weak but i really can't stand the thought of going there with my face so disgusting. Anyone here had a similar start and had any luck with some form of treatment? I've also had alot of fungal infections in my armpits, and private area during the last few years if that could have any connection.
