Psoriasis Or Seborrheic Dermatitis?
by Mark
(Ireland)
Hi Nanette,
My name is Mark and I’m a 28 year old male from Ireland. I have had problems with my skin now for 2 years and I've been to doctors and dermatologists and have used all the creams and shampoos they gave me and there has been no change. They have told me that I have psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis but from what I have seen and read on web sites I believe it is seborrheic dermatitis so I am now looking to try something different so any help you can give me would be great. It started on my head where I have red blotches and white marks all over my head and it can get very itchy at times and also when I shave my head its just all dry and flaky. Then on my face I have red blotches under my eyebrows on my forehead and all over my nose down the sides of my nose and out onto my face. I also have red blotches on my upper lip and down the sides of my mouth now all these red blotches seem to grow skin faster than everywhere else on my body and it breaks and falls off now. I also have red blotches on my chest but no dry skin on that. When I have a shower I wash my face with water and all the red blotches seem to flare up and I think its the heat of the water but when my face dries it tightens up like its been stretched and all the skin cracks and falls off and I also have red blotches on my penis and genitals. Any help would be great. Thank you.
