I'm really struggling with this skin disease I've had for years. I've attached a photo so you can see what's going on. Could you help me figure out a solution?
I see that you are suffering from a skin disease. Based on the photograph you have attached, it appears to be psoriasis. I recommend using topical corticosteroids such as Clobetasol propionate cream twice daily on the affected areas. In addition, you can also use coal tar preparations like Tegrin cream or ointment. For severe cases, you may need oral medications like Methotrexate or Acitretin. However, these should be taken under the guidance of a dermatologist. Please consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.
