Hey everyone I am 16 years old and
psoriasis runs in my family, my mother and
father both have it. I have had what is
called "raindrop psoriasis" on my stomach
before. About a year or so ago I had
places come up on my stomach yet again. I
went to the doctor to see if he had any
idea what it was and he cut out a piece of
my skin to have it sent off. When the
results came back it basically said that
they didn't know what it was. I have
psoriasis on my elbows and stuff, but I
have no idea what is on my stomach. They
gave me the elidel creme and it doesn't
really help all that much. I noticed that
when I went to the tanning bed that it
helped it some but not to much. When I
have moisture on my skin the places turn
red. They look like little circles all
over my stomach. Does anyone have any
idea if it is psoriasis or eczema. If so,
what can I do to help it???

I have eczema and my bf has psoriasis.
My experience is that eczema itches a lot.
Tanning is supposed to help both. Try
taking a lot of oatmeal baths, and use
sensitive skin products. Good luck

Honetly, it sounds like..Why? But I was
misdiagnosed, and not diagnosed twice and
then finally, somebody just knew. Give
other doctors a chance, it is worth it.
For a peace of mind.
