So for starters I am a very anxious person. When something is off I am constantly thinking about it. So for a couple weeks now I’ve noticed these rashes on my body. My Dr. thinks it’s ringworm but everything I try doesn’t stop it from growing. And it’s really freaking me out! Does anyone know any remedies for it? Does it get worse before it gets better? It may seem dumb but I cannot stop thinking and worrying about it. Has anyone else experienced this before?

What do the rashes feel like?? It could be psoriasis, I had its a few times, it gets itchy, although in some cases iy isn't always itchy. It's nothing too worry about, it's just like eczema, try get hole of some E-45 cream or Sudocrem it might help ease itchyness and irritated skin 😊

They feel dry. Some dead skin on it. Sometimes they’re itchy but sometimes they’re not. I haven’t tried that cream yet but I’ll give it a go! 😊 thank you!

No problem!

Deffo sounds like psoriasis, so try not to worry, I've had it myself too so I'm speaking from experience 😊 stay safe 🤘

I’m not real sure how psoriasis works, as I do not have it myself although my dad did before he died, but I have found a lotion that works on my arms when they get dried out and very itchy. It’s all the way around my arm from my wrist to my elbow. The lotion is Lubriderm, Daily Moisture, Normal to Dry Skin. It doesn’t take very much for a big area of skin, and the best part is that it doesn’t feel greasy when it dries.

I recently had the most annoying issues with my skin. The very best thing anyone can so for issies regarding the skin is to see a dermatologist. Unfortuanly, doctors dont specialize in skin. At very least, a good second opinion would really be worth a shot. I understand how these kinds of issues can drive a person out of there mind, but trust me, it will get better.

Thank you! I’ve thought about seeing a specialist but with this whole Covid19 thing I get too anxious to leave the house
