What Causes Severe Red Bumps Throughout The Body While Having Psoriasis?
Hi, i have very sensitive skin and i do have psoriasis. I am taking humira and just got off cyclosporine. Starting last wednesday I had a break out of what it looks like red bumps with a white head all over my body. I have never had body acne so I m nervous as to what it is. small red bumps with little white heads. some do not have white heads. when i pop the ones with no white heads oil comes out. it varies from my chest neck arms back legs. PLEASE HELP! I have already changed/washed my bedding. threw out all my soaps and lofa.

Hi, Thanks for the query. I understand your concern. Thanks for using HCM for your health concern. There are several types of Psoriasis- out of them you seem to have Pustular psoriasis - which in characterized by small pustules appearing on part of your body / on all of body. The triggering factors are- - Local medicine/ steroids you are using for application. - sudden withdrawal of oral medicines or steroid ointment - stress/ infection. Thanks
