Hey Dr.Joker, I have psoriasis,

There are patches of some white flakes in my hair, everyone keeps saying I have dandruff, but psoriasis is much, much more serious!

Please diagnose!

It's hard to tell is it psoriasis or dandruff because they both have similar symptoms.

I'll tell you the symptoms of dandruff that are different than psoriasis:

Your scalp is red and has oily patches; you can easily remove the patchy scales (if you can't, wait, with time, it will be easy to remove); the itching can be severe at times.

And here are the symptoms of psoriasis:

You have red patches of skin on your scalp that are covered with scales with a silvery sheen; when you try to remove the psoriasis scaling or thick, it bleeds; you can have similar patches on any place of your body, not only on head; they can be itchy and painful so much that they can keep you up at night; they can feel extremely sore. It may feel like it’s on fire.

That will help you to find out what it is.

Well, they don't itch, our doctor classified it as psoriasis.

I don't have red patches on my skin and they don't bleed, and I have some in my earlobe as well.

Here are the medicines I was given (Hopefully you can diagnose my problem more easily)- 

Ebclo-GM (Morning)

Flutivate (Evening)

L-Fame (1 Everyday Night)

Oncotrex (1/2 Every Alternate Night)

Thanks for the help!

well, they are probably psoriasis if they appear in different places. Do they bleed when you try to remove them?

Anyway, psoriasis is actually uncurable, but there are some creams that stop them a bit.

About your medicines: EBCLO is viagra o.O

Flutivate is a very helpful spot cream.

I don't know others, sorry.

You said they appear in your ear too, so it's psoriasis. You need to see a dermotologist to find out it's level.

Hope I could help.

nice , are you really a doctor ?

I think you will find that answer to be no.

 

Don't think there is any doctor who would give advice over the internet without seeing the patient.

They don't bleed, all dermatologists used to say it was dandruff till a specialist termed it as psoriasis

Thanks for helping though!

it happens when i enter a bright room from dark room

:)

It's calling "Flash blindness". It is loss of vision that lasts few seconds (sometimes few minutes). It has many causes, but in your situation, I guess bright flashes of light caused it. It's caused when pigments in the retina become over saturated or bleached. Try to protect your eyes from it because it can damage your optical lobe.

It's a common skin problem. It mostly happens due to loss of skin pigmentation. They are common in people who live in hot, humid climates but there are a lot of causes of it. Can you please send me a picture of them?

It looks like Nevus Depigmentosus. These white areas are often sensitive, so you need to use sunscreen or sunblock products on affected areas. It is possible to remove them using lasers but it only works if a small area of the skin is involved. You can use this tretment if they appear on another places in future. But there is another treatment MKTP but it has limited succes. You need to talk to a dermotologist about treatment.

Sorry, my mistake, they look similar. What vitamins did your doctor suggest you?

Also, you need to aviod sunlight because de-pigmented areas are always sensitive.

The sun gives vitamin D, so thats what he needs. Maybe drinking white milk it will help because it has vitamin D.

What you think doctor ?

you're right, the sun gives vitamin D, but it also gives UV lights which burn de-pigmented areas because there is no pigment to protect there.
