A member asked:
Never had psoriasis before. having itching and dry patches with scaly lesions on elbow and knee cap. could this be due to stress?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Psoriasis: Your eruption certainly appears to be psoriasis. Studies have shown a relationship between stress and psoriasis but the exact cause of psoriasis is unknown but the immune system and genetics are felt to be involved.
