Suggest Treatment For Skin Rashes On Face, Chest And Arms

I have red skin rash on my face, back, chest and arms. I have seen doctors of dermatology and rheumatology. The doctors are members of the staff at Henry Ford Hospitable in Detroit. At the beginning they thought I had lupus. My last appointment with rheumatology I was told that I did not have lupus and to work with dermatology. I found an article on WebDr that addressed erythrodermic psoriasis and I do have some of the symptoms - red face that feels hot, rash on chest and back and on the inside of arms, and have severe itching. Is there any type of test for eryhrodermic psoriasis?

Hello,

As your rheumatologist has ruled out lupus and other autoimmune itiologies regarding your symptoms, it’s better to seek help from a dermatologist. A dermatologist will be able to guide you better after careful examination of the rash with diagnostic tests if needed. Depending on the results he will prescribe you appropriate medicines.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
