What Causes Rashes On Skin Folds Inspite Of Being On Magnesium For Psoriatic Arthritis?

I ve had plaque psoraisis on my arms, scalp and outer ear canals. I ve been diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis and have painful knees and back. Topical magnesium has been great in giving me pain relief however I ve developed rashes on skin folds on my abdomen and under my breasts. Is this from the magnesium or have I now developed flexural/inverse psoraisis. Should I stop the transdermal magnesium which has given my great pain relief?? Thanks.

Hi and thank you so much for this follow up precision.

I am so sorry to hear about these symptoms that you have reported. It is difficult to tell what this rash is suggestive of without seeing it. I will suggest that you consider sending an image to use for review. if it is suggestive of psoriasis, then this can be told from the appearance. If it is not, we would look at other possibilities like allergies, drug reaction, etc and make personalized and helpful recommendations to help you address this. For now, keep the area clean, airy and send the image to us as soon as possible for more insights.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information should need be.
