Hello Dr. , I am asian, female, 31 years old, I noticed a small red patch on the side of my left arm last Nov. 2011 I ignored it at first but come Christmas it is still there. It became more noticeable, a little bigger, raised, slightly thick and sometimes itchy. I put canesten cream on it thinking it is fungal infection. I'm thinking it somehow react to the ointment. It is still brown but has peeled,now it is not itching and almost not raised. But at the same time, I noticed small patches appeared on different parts of my body. Three on my left and right waist, three on my back, left and right near my breast, underarms, tummy, upper leg. They form similar patterns, itchy, dark, raised,first layer is peeled. I am still using canesten cream. I read widely about mild psoriasis and pityriasis rosea. I'm suspecting I got one of those. Both has no known cure. What is your recommendation.
