What Causes Pustules On Genitals And Upper Legs With Metallic Odour On Scalp?

I have had a reaction to Humira that has caused what I am sure is psoriasis according to what the Humira info indicates, pussy pustules that have a red area around them. This first started developing around the second week of November and got really bad all over my body, especially on my genital area, upper legs, stomach, back, and scalp. It has taken a long time for this to start getting better and for the itching to stop driving me crazy. It has left my whole body extremely dry and now my scalp has a tinny / metallic odor. Why??

HI
Well come to HCM
This may not be the same as you are thinking about but this could be allergic reaction may be hypersensitive if this is sever then you need to see the dermatologist to ruled of some possibilities because this could be "impetigo" till then you can have second generation antihistamine and the best choice would be "Tab Levocetirizine 10 mg three times in day" hope this information helps, take care.
