girlfriend started off with one mark on her face by her mouth, about 6 weeks ago. Then they took over her whole face, and head, no on arms, hands and spreading to legs. They get real dry and crack and leave bad sores on her.

Hello,
These symptoms can be due to eczema or psoriasis. Psoriasis is a long-term (chronic) skin problem that causes skin cells to grow too quickly, resulting in thick, white, silvery, or red patches of skin.It is thought that psoriasis occurs when the immune system overreacts, causing inflammation and flaking of skin.

Your girlfriend should get it checked and a biopsy skin done from a dermatologist.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
