I really think you have to have someone local take a look.

I do a lot of work in psychodermatology, where skin issues trigger emotional problems and emotional issues can trigger skin problems.  (see grossbart.com) I think it is really important to get a good medical diagnosis first.  For people wher there is no clear diagnosis, or there is and the usual medical treatment is not working, then it is time to explore if ther is a psychological side to the problem.
