Skin problem

KatieB · ‎03-10-2010

I am wondering if any of you have had a skin situation like the one I am experiencing now.. See picture of my left hand below, there are a few white spots on my right hand and also on my right thigh. I could not get an appointment with a dermatologist until the end of October... Here are the pics:

I have no idea what this is or what is causing it. It does not itch... Just the white, almost crusty looking places.... Any information would be helpful...

They might be akinac keratosis?

Why aren't you going to an urgent care?

I wouldn't take anyone's word as to what they are since we are not doctor's.

Please do not wait and just go.

Looks like psoriasis to me. My husband has psoriasis and it doesn't always itch. You need to see a doctor to be sure. Good luck.

Looks like the tiny common wart.

But whatever it is, as a WEN user, I'd get out my bottle of WEN Tea Tree oil and rub oil into those spots a few times a day.

Tea Tree has anti bacterial, anti fungal, and anti viral properties.

Can't hurt, unless you happen to have a sensitivity to some ingredient.

Or maybe your local Walgreens/CVS pharmacist could direct you. Maybe an anti-biotic cream ??

Actinic Keratosis or Solar Keratosis is my first guess as well. You definitely need to see your doctor regarding these (I've had several taken off).....

Track down a dr that has a sooner appt than Oct. If necessary tell them it's urgent.

There is no Urgent Care in your area?

Probably because it's not an urgent situation. She has an appt in Oct. That's only a couple of months.

If it were me I would not even go to the doctor. I would just ask him next time I'm there if it was still there.
