Darier problem
I am told by the doctor that I am suffering from darier (a skin disease). I am not sure about it. It is like scaling in the effected parts but as I have read online, it is not smelly, neither my nails are fragile. It is itchy sometimes but not always. It is developing only on outer arm, back and now developing on chest. It started from shoulder and spreading towards wrist but with a borderline development (only outer portion of arm and not inner side). Please confirm whether it is darier only and if not what else? Whether I can be cured?

Get a skin biopsy done first. A small 4 mm punch biopsy can be done and sample sent to histopathology lab near you.
