-I have a red puffy rash all over my face. It burns and itches. Its not sunburn, its some kind of rash. Lately its been really dry and stingy/itchy. I also have a very dry penis that is red and itches, as well as a very red and itchy scrotum... I know it's gross but it is what it is... I thought it was poison ivy at first but its not bumpy like poison ivy and doesn't itch as much as it should, plus the fact I've had it for two and a half weeks. So I searched around a little and it seems a lot of symptoms point towards psoriasis.
So basically I'm wondering, does this sound like psoriasis? ThanksPsoriasis is usually dry, but not necessarily itchy unless you pick and scratch at the plaque spots. Also it doesn't usually cause puffiness.
It might be a manifestation of some kind of allergy.
Note that, too, poison ivy doesn't affect everyone the same. For example, it has no effect on me if the exposure isn't heavy (I wouldn't rub my eyes after touching it, lol). So, some kind of allergic reaction is likely.
In any case, it sounds more like contact dermatitis than psoriasis.
If you're worried about it, just have your physician refer you to a dermatologist. They'd probably be able to tell what it is within 10 seconds.Could very well be.use honey or a topical cream that you can buy over the counter.don't use too much of the cream though.they contain steroids.use some till the worst part goes away.then use honey.apply and wash off after 卤 an hour.good luck
It doesn't sound like psoriasis. Psoriasis is more than just red and itchy, it's flaky/crusty.
Did the 'rash' on your face develop slowly over time or did it appear quickly? Psoriasis is slow, not much 'puffiness' you described is on your face, more like red, white scaly skin. Does the stinginess happen after you scratch and/or try to put some lotion on it? Psoriasis isn't too stingy by itself unless you mess with it like putting smelly lotion on. If you think it is psoriasis, try getting some lotion like Yes to carrots body butter, that is not irritating at all on my skin (and I have it all over my body), there's close to no scent, just a really light baby smell, if it is psoriasis it will go away with reapplied lotion or medicine. (Unfortunately, there's no cure, it is chronic but at least we can keep it under somewhat control with lotion). Hope that helped at all and good luck.
