Hello,
Rosacea is a cutaneous disorder primarily of the central part of the face , such as forehead; cheeks ;nose; and chin. Rosacea is a medical condition presenting with redness, swelling, discoloration and sometimes pimples and dry skin over the cheeks, nose, chin or forehead. Photodermatitis presents with itchy bumps, blisters, hyperpigmentation, redness or swelling.
It is less likely for rosacea or photodermatitis to present with no symptoms except for burning skin. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
Doctor, thank you for your help and attention.
A skin biopsy was done along with many other blood tests and so on. However, they could not diagnose anything. Patches on my skin are said to be dermatitis and easily treated with salicylic acid containing creams. They are not visible most of the time.
My neck and face hurt extensively especially when exposed to sun but no rash or patches occur over these areas. Could rosacea or photodermatitis be present without any visual signs like rashes but only a feeling of burning?
The last professor I saw said a protein or enzyme produced by your body may be causing your autoimmune system to give faulty reactions over your skin. The last thing he said "May the God help you, I hope you learn to live with this somehow". A very scientific approach huh?
I dont know what is wrong with me. I am just helpless.
Hello,
From the symptoms it can be due to photodermatitis, sunburns, rosacea or psoriasis (for the dry plaques which could be eczema or psoriasis). Psoriasis is a non-contagious disorder which affects the skin and joints. It commonly causes red scaly patches to appear on the skin. It will be best to get a biopsy skin done from a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis.
Hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing. Warm regards.
