Psoriasis: Sometimes skin conditions like psoriasis can become infected or irritated more than usual. When this happens and it is important to treat, I would recommend that you do a video encounter where the doctor can see your rash and then make a better recommendation or send a prescription to your pharmacy online. Or you can consult with your usual doctor about it.

I have a very sore, almost bruised feeling spot (no actual bruise) on my upper, inner left arm. The spot is very exact, no bigger than a penny. There is no swelling, it's not a visible spot, just a pinching feeling under the skin. I am very worried. ?
