Could it be psoriasis?

I know I need to see a GP and intend to. I have blisters on my feet surrounded by red cracked skin. The blisters are fluid filled and the surface peels off when they heal. I looked up psoriasis as my dad suffers from it. It also seems to be linked to HLA27B gene (or is it b27, I get it confused ) that was confirmed when I had iritis a few years ago. My skin is very dry. The insides of my clothes are permanently coated with dry skin flakes. I also have joint pain that has never been diagnosed although doctors tell me it is linked to the gene type.

Definitely see your GP and ask for a referral to a dermatologist. It sounds like pustular psoraisis (PP) which could also link to your joint pain. I guess your scared to have it confirmed but once diagnosed correctly you can get the help and guidance to deal with it. Good luck!
