We haveto see if there is swelling of the legs and feet, fever, any pus formation etc , to decide on the course of management. My advice is to consult Dermatologist as early as possible.

There are some oral safe drugs like Psoralens, Methotrexate and Aprelimast that can be used orally at home. Of course I have to talk to you and see pictures before we can start.
Also a few blood tests might be required before starting treatment

Changing doctors frequently won't help the situation. You need to understand that its a genetic disorder. Hence it may recur. You need to stick to one doctor as he/she will know your history and keep treating you according to the severity of the disease. Also need to do few blood tests.

If more than 90 percent of the body surface area is involved then it is called as Erythroderma , it is something to be concerned about. , Since there can chances of secondary bacterial infection , there can be protein loss , fluid loss from the body, kindly consult a Dermatologist immediately .
