Outbreak Red Itchy Rashes On Face, Chest, Arms, Neck, Legs, Looks Like Eczema And Psoriasis. Recommendations?
I have an outbreak of red itchy rashes on my skin since May this year. It's on my chest, arms, neck and lower legs. The leg patches look like psoriasis which I have never had before and the upper body rashes look like eczema but I was wondering if there could be a hive component because it's so itchy and volatile and I've never had eczema like this before. In the past it's come up on the back of my hands but only about 2 times in the last 20 years. I'm eating a simple diet of vegetables, gluten free grains, seeds, legumes and sea vegetables. I'm avoiding fruit, gluten and alcohol. I eat raw nut milks, so maybe I should try to go without nuts too? It's extremely painful and persistent so any help or advice would be appreciated. I don't choose to use steroid creams. Thanks Karakrista
