What's wrong with my skin?!


Question:

What's wrong with my skin?

OKay well all year round I sometimes get these little red/pink patches on my skin, when I get them they usually stick out from my skin (almost bumy-ish). My mom thinks they're dry patches... but I do put lotion on so I doubt that. And it doesn't happen when I sweat or when I'm nervous, what could it be???

oh and Psoriasis does run in my fmaily.. (my mom and aunt have it).. but for some reason my mom doesn't believe for some reason that I could have the same problem as her. But one day she did give me some steriod cream she uses on her psoriasis, and it did work well.. and any other cream I use doesn't seem to work


Answers:

I am getting an itchy rash on my upper chest, neck and shoulders that sounds like your problem. I have heard many people mention allergies to certain detergents and soaps so I have begun to experiment. I found that Tide has a new laundry detergent called Free. It is free of any scents or dies. Why detergent is colored is beyond me anyway. So far I have noticed an improvement. I have also been told that Trader Joes has lots of hypoallergenic soaps and skin creams. Lotion does not work for me either. I also bought some hydrocortisone cream and I think it helps.
