Is there an online diagnosis for skin problems?

Question:

I have a skin condition that is termed as chronic urticaria by doctors. But the symptoms do not match my condition. They neither irritate/bleed nor they are communicable. (my wife and kid are free from such a skin condition) When I was 8 years old, I noticed these on my wrist but now it's spread to other parts of my body. I have them on (the inside of) my hands and on either sides of my abdomen, near the arm pits and on both feet. And, on the hands i have it mostly at the finger joints and knuckles. I am over 30 years and got fed up visiting doctors who prescribe temporary relief medicines (I used 'Dipsalic' - the skin becomes smooth after using this medicine for 2-3 days and then the bumps re-appear as soon as i stop using it) I want to know if any doctor could help me in diagnosing and treating it online. I am willing to send photos.

Answers:
In your instance, certainly a second opinion is warranted. I would suggest that you see a dermatologic specialist. Even if your current physician is a dermatologist, get seen by another.

Also, there is an "Ask" the Expert" section of the CME (Continuing Medical Education) website. Frankly, I don't believe there is any website that will diagnose you, nor any doctor who will do so without seeing you in person. You can, however, pose your questions to these experts, and perhaps have the field of possibilities narrowed:
