Some of the symptoms of psoriasis are thick, raised patches of skin covered with a silvery layer of dry skin. These patches can be red or light pink and look different depending on the type of psoriasis.

HEAT RASH

Heat rash, also known as prickly heat, is a red, itchy rash made of small, painful-looking bumps that look like a cluster of pimples.


The rash is most common in children, but anyone can get it. Humid weather causes the rash to appear.

Heat rash usually occurs on the groin, neck, under the arms, and in the creases of elbows and armpits. It is caused when excessive sweat gets trapped in pores, creating a rash, and usually goes away in three or four days.

TRIGGERS:

  • Humid, hot weather

  • Staying cool and dry
  • Pore-blocking ointments

A fungal infection causes ringworm infection of the scalp, and it most often appears as bald patches on the head that can be either dry or greasy in texture.
