PR OR Guttate Psoriasis - Please help, Google is slowly killing me

Posted , 2 users are following.

Three weeks ago I got a tiny spot on left side of my neck and in 2-3 days it grew bigger and bigger, not it's around 3-5 cm long. I also got a UTI infection at the same time. Went to see GP for both, got some antibiotic for UTI and a cream for the spot on my neck. UTI got over in a week. At the same time (after 1-1.5 weeks of the first spot) I suddenly saw few more spots on my abdomen area, precisely under my breasts, and they just spread on back my lady areas a lot of them. They didn't itch in the beginning but few days later itch started. Now it's three weeks from the first patch and itch is there and it's spreading all over. I see one spot on my face and 2-3 on my palms...I am really scared please help. I saw a skin specialist and she has taken skin biopsy and I am desperate for results at the same time somewhere I don't want hear it.

      Apart from my mental state due to this I am fine. No other complains but this one is killing me. I am so down with this, have been staying is bed and cannot look at myself...rater I hate my body. I had a flawless skin and now I can't see myself. image

      See attached image of my back.

      Have you been in a hot tub recently? It could be Pseudomonas folliculitis. Alternatively Grover's disease.

      Not in hot tub but have been to swimming pool and have taken a bath at home (I had a bath after I saw the first patch on my neck - with dead sea salt & magnesium, thought it was eczema and that might help).

      I just remembered GP took a swab test and it came with Pseudomonas species, however dermatologist says this might not be the reason.

      Well it looks like a Pseudomonas infection.
