StayAtHomeMom Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 I know lots of things can cause rashes. I am mostly curious if anyone else gets a weird rash on their knuckles. I have had it for about a year. My dermatologist tried to tell me it was eczema but my eczema shows up different (kind of like ring worm. Smooth in the center with itchy raised outer edge). The rash I am talking about is on my dominant hand. Only the index knuckle and pinky knuckle. It is dry, flaky looking, thick skinned, and itches like crazy only when it is flaring. Also when it is flaring I get little red bumps in it. It seems to always be there no matter how much lotion or cream I use. Curious if anyone else has it or something similar.

My boss has it and even he suggested it but it is only on those 2 knuckles and no where else on my body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancer65 Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Still can be , I use to only get tiny spots on my scalp 30 years ago now I have bigger ones and more widespread . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StayAtHomeMom Posted July 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 When it is not flaring and itching the skin is really thick there, is that a symptom? I don't think I have ever seen psoriasis semi-healed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancer65 Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Yes mine usually is white scales on top and red inflamed below , if you google psoriasis you get pictures of it there are different types hope that helps ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StayAtHomeMom Posted July 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Yea, I looked it up and mine isn't like that. It really is kind of an odd rash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StayAtHomeMom Posted July 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Ok. I have never tried to upload a picture before so hopefully this works. If you look on my pinky knuckle (the one on the back of my hand) you can see what it looks like when it is not flaring. The discoloration is a thickening of the skin.
