seb derm or psoriasis?

[Guest guest]

hello, the redness on my face is apparently autoimmune in nature and

it affects my scalp as well. I have been diagnosed by different

doctors with seb derm and psoriasis. I am currently in the process

of signing up with the seb derm group right now. Here is my dilema

to the knowledgeable rosaceans I have read about on this group. As

mentioned I probably have either seb derm or psoriasis.

Corticosteroids used to work but no longer do. I have had some

success with treating with antifungal shampoos which help both my

scalp and face a little bit. This improvement with antifungal

treatment seems to implicate seb derm, however, here is the catch: I

recall that when this all started I also had very heavy thick scale

on my elbows. I learned that heavy scale on the elbows is a sign of

psoriasis. It is no longer there for some reason, so I have been

treating for seb derm. Even a scalp biopsy said it was seb derm. But

those scaly elbows I used to have are haunting me. Does anyone know

about the crossover between seb derm and psoriasis and what this

might actually be? I think there was a post on here recently about

misdiagnosis, I'm thinking I might be one of those people. Any advice

would help. thanks,
