I have been having scaly patches on body especially on lower back, thighs, gluteal region and legs, severe itching since 10 months. A dermatologist diagnosed it as psoriasis (but it seems to be something else) and gave a lot of medicines and topical ointments, soaps mainly containing salisyclic acid and coal tar products but all in vain. Patches are increasing day by day and no pus is found instead they bleed on scratching. I suffered from dengue 11 months ago, which was misleadingly diagnosed.
