I'm 25, female.
ALL Symptoms:
Friday- February 9th I started getting dry red bumps all over my arms, hands, legs and underarms.
Saturday- February 17th I started to notice I was urinating alot more often. Then started noticing that I had a dull ache between my hips(like I was about to start my period).
Monday- February 19th I went to the doctor because the bumps had started to spread to my neck(just a couple), stomach, back, pretty much everywhere.
I was diagnosed with guttate psoriasis. I got a shot of steroids and then have been taking steroids pills since the 20th.
I just took my last pill this morning and the bumps on my right arm seem to be coming back.
I don't know whats going on, I'm so scared I just want to cry.
Could I be pregnant, could I have an std, could I have diabetes? I have done so much research and with everything thats wrong I cant seem to find something that matches everything.
Please Please help me!!! I cant get to the doctor until Wednesday!

 Psoriasis can be quite a frustrating disease. The plaques on the skin often will come and go. There are various treatment options, some topical and some oral.
My recommendation would be to see a dermatologist and discuss options with them. They will have the latest and most knowledge of the disease and know how best to treat it.
Regarding your other questions I believe we discussed this in a different post but if you still need answers please let us know.
Best wishes.
