Guest guest Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Well, good question!! I recently went through that myself. I would get occasional scaly patches on my ribcage area that would go away on their own. It was only important to help diagnose my arthritis pain. The dermatologist i went to told me there was no way to know by looking at them...and even biopsies don't give you a clear idea. I insisted she biopsy it anyway.. and it came back as psoriasis. So I guess sometimes they can tell and some times they can't. I think it would be different if you had a LOT of lesions, but I did not. good luck!

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I have quite a few and they have been biopsied but I think doctor has to give some guidance to lab as to what to look for, what he thinks it is, so I could ask him to do another one of different area. So far just non healing sores, I've had a long time. Thanks " Barb B W " <barb1283@...> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
