Brief Answer:
Psoriasis is unlikely from the images sir

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query and images with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. First of all, the rash does not resemble either psoriasis or an allergic reaction from the given images.

As I do not have you physically present for me to conduct a few investigations and confirm the cause, I can only put forward a list of conditions that can present with a rash similar to yours, they are:

+Infectious mononucleosis
+West Nile Fever
+Rheumatic fever
+Measles

I am sure your doctor would have conducted a thorough evaluation, but if not then I would recommend getting these conditions ruled out/confirmed for a better chance at finding the cause.

I hope you find my response helpful. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help sir.

Best wishes.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
