PRP/DLE/PSORIASIS



it could be PRP- Pityriasis Rubra Pilaris


Pityriasis Rubra Pilaris or PRP
It could be Psoriasis or Discoid Lupus Erythematosus or PRP.
If the blood test result showed that it is lupus erythematosus and the skin biopsy also indicated the same thing. Is there any possibility that it could be PRP? Does it make any different? It is not curable whether it is DLE or PRP, right?

  2. Yes, at first we went to see Dr. Henry Foong(Dermatologist) at Fair Park, Ipoh. The skin biopsy result showed that it is lupus erythematosus.After that, we go to Ipoh General Hospital because can't afford the treatment cost. Then the condition getting worse, went to Singapore,took another skin biopsy test. Result again suggested that it is lupus, but Dr.Tham(Parkway Hospital Singapore)-Dermatologist said it is not. Today, I went to GH Ipoh again. Doctor suggested if possible, wanted my father to admit wad so that they can do further test.
    We all (siblings)sudah buntu, tak tau nak buat apa lagi
