It doesn't really look like psoriasis.

Probably eczema. Your primary care physician can try something like elidel (Pimecrolimus) to treat the acute flare. You don't need to see a dermatologist first (and it's unlikely that insurance will cover a dermatology visit unless you can get a referral from your PCP).

GO SEE A DOCTOR---THE ABOVE IS NOT TO SUBSTITUTE FOR ACTUAL MEDICAL ADVICE

Sorry to bring alive an old dead topic, but since I took another pic of my neck to send to my 'rents, who have easier access to a dermatologist than me right now, to print-out and show him/her to see if they have anything to say.

Just thought maybe ya'll might like to see as well....link in OP.

it's very likely to be seborrheic dermatitis, especially since it's on your eyebrow and your hairline.

you can use dandruff shampoos, or nizoral shampoo/cream.

its technically either psorisis or excema,

your dermy will script you some steroid lotion, tell you use a humidifier, and moisturizing lotion.
