What Causes Circular Spots Appearing On Body?

Hi, I have these weird circular spots randomly appearing on my body mainly my thighs and back. Also I have a problem with my scalp, it s really flaky but the flakes are big and yellowish silver, sometimes it would get itchi and go red or maybe sometimes bleed. Just wondering what it is and if it s safe to dye my hair with this condition?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I strongly feel that most probably you may be having psoriasis vulgaris. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.
However,you may take Acitretin cap daily,methotrexate thrice a week, antihistaminis like Levocetirizine daily. And apply steroid cream like Clobetasole with moisturizer cream. Avoid tension and take regular and long term treatment.. then you may be alright. Relapse is common in this diseases.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
