Bumps On Elbows, Arm, Turning Into Scabs, Itching. Psoriasis?
Hi I think I may have psoriosis or exema. I get these small clear bumps on my elbows and some up my arm. They itch sporadically, and I noticed today that I have some small scabs as well on my elbow. I have had the bumps for as long as I can remember, but they never really caused an issue except minor itching. I thought it was odd when I noticed the bumps are turning into scabs. Is this psoriosis? exema?

Hi bumps turning into scabs can be eczema and not psoriasis.psoriasis lesions are erythematous scaly lesions and on removal of mica like scales pinpoint bleeding occurs.eczema lesions are mainly due to xerosis of skin followed by repeated itching.it can be treated with application of moisteriser along with steriod cream can cure it.if it is oozing it should be applied with diprovate-g cream.oral antibiotic should be used twice daily
