How Can Psoriasis On Legs, Elbows And Lower Back Be Treated?
I have psoriasis patches on my legs, elbows, large area of lower back and some on my buttocks but the area that gives me the most discomfort is my pelvic area including the creases of my legs and between my buttocks and right above the top of my butt crack. This area is extremely itchy and what I can only assume is my skin scratches off like a paste. Is this also psoriasis?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The symptoms are more likely of psoriasis. You have to start treatment as soon as possible to avoid unwanted complications and further spread of the disease. Consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
