White patches on body.
After an HP Test my doctor told me that its psoriasis. It was almost controlled. But now after 2 years its again appearing. What happens is firstly a black spot appears( little like when skin gets burnt) then after few days the black membrane moves out and leaves a white spot. Earlier i used to take the medicine "psorid". I have uploaded the black & the white spot.
