I have similar issue but in my case I have severe flaking dry skin with severe redness and itching. And I recently found I have Gout which is causing a host of other issues. I bought a uric acid meter to test which foods spike my blood uric acid levels, also I test my urine PH. I found there is a correlation with high uric acid and high PH with my skin condition and my other issues. With Gout you have to follow a strict diet to maintain your low levels.
I just looked up some pictures and some of that looks pretty close to what I have described. Although some may look more sever, but I have been putting an anti-inflammatory cream on it and it seems to keep it down to a minimum but it doesn't go away. Thank you so much for your input. It has been very helpful.
