Is Itchy Skin With Swelling Sign Of Psoriasis?
A part of my skin is really itching since the last 2 months. I bought a product named Psoriasis to try to cure it but it didn't change anything. Now i'm getting scared cause the itching part just get's bigger and bigger (about 7inches by 4 inches). I'm not sure it is psoriasis but i saw pictures of that and it seemed the same. Hope you will help me as fast as possible . :) thanks.

My Dear
Welcome to Healthcaremagic!
I have reviewed your posting and will share my experience based upon dealing with this problem in good number of cases.
Psoriasis closely mimics several conditions and one of them that fits your details is Tinea or ringworm infection.
You might like to use following instructions to improve fast
1 Keep the part dry
2 stop using the medicine already used by you
3 Miconazole cream works very well in ring worm infections
4 Anti allergic like Cetirizine is helpful in controlling itching
5 additional benefit lies in using Terbinafine which is an oral antifungal agent with desired results and safety profile.
All the best
