kg is right psoriasis starts young...mine started when i was about 10 years old....psoriasis will rarely show below the elbows or knees and it will normally stop at the neck too....back in the day.....you either took steroid shots or you went into the sun....my mother said sun was free...and there i was...8 to 10 hours of sunlight a day...if not at the pool then under an old fashioned sunlamp...a few years ago i was having a place removed from my face....the doctor makes a really mean ass remark about 'sun worshipers'....i simply told him i had psoriasis as a child....he back peddled so damn fast....admitting the medical treatment was wrong and the medical profession had fucked up a lot of people with that course of treatment....most of the people my age...who had psoriasis now have skin cancer....my dermo just shakes her head...and says how sorry she is that a whole generation has gotten skin cancer trying to cure psoriasis...but i love her...she tells me....you keep you appointments....every 6 months for a full body check and you will not die of skin cancer...she stays on me about it.....
the hardest part.....not being allow any sun....when i am out i am covered...i joke about wearing a burka
