Gary has had scaling and itchiness for some time.
Basically it is around the scalp line, sometimes in the scalp, and it is always
in his beard / mustache and around it. He even gets in around his ears and
inside them. A while back he was dx'd by a dermatologist as to having intense
dermatitis.  The internist the other day told him that is looked like
psoriasis to him and has him seeing a dermatologist next Thur.  Anxious to
see about it. We have noticed that Gary's tends to flare with the NMO. Not
always, but if the disease kicks in, his skin already has broken out. Now his
doesn't itch that much. The skin gets a little red, real rough, raised up from
his other skin and then scales off. Steroids use to stop it, but not as much
now. Will update everyone on this as soon as we know what we are dealing with.
Gracie, I hope you can get some help. Don't know if this did or
not.
