What Causes Patches On My Scalp, Knees And Arms?
I have white scale patches on my scalp and above my knees and a few on my arms the ones on my scalp itch and if I pick at them they bleed is this psoriasis? I have never had skin problems in my life and I am 52 years...it all started after I had an infected tooth pulled, I got deathly ill for a month and then all of this showed up along with bronchitis.

Hello,
It may be due to fungal infection. For that you may require clotrimazole ointment locally. For itching you can take tablet loratidine. Wash your hair regularly. Maintain proper hygiene. Avoid sweating.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
