Dark red scaly patch
Dear doctor, I have a dark red scaly patch on my left foot for the last 13 years. A prior consultation with a dermatologist at BHU confirmed that the patch was psoriasis. It was present bilaterally on my elbows as well. However those have completely vanished. The one on the foot remains and has now grown to about an inch in diameter. I was prescribed lobetasone urea and salicylic acid ointment which only gives temporary relief from itching and inflammation. Attaching herewith a picture of the same. Kindly advise.
