Suggest Treatment For Dry Red Patches On The Forearm
I have had dry skin on my arms in the past but over the last few months red dry patches have been on my forearms. They start to get better for a day or two then it starts up all over again. Also I have seen yellow scab/crust on the part of my hair. I m thinking these two skin issues are related and could possibly be psoriasis. Can you confirm this? Thank you for your help.

Hello. Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com. I have read your query. I understand your concern.
As per details, the possibility of Psoriasis cannot be ignored and should be considered.
Psoriasis is characterised by red colored rash with silvery white colored scales over surface.
I would be able to help you better if you could attach photographs.
Kindly revert back with images.
