I have been reading all these questions and answers about psoriasis. Unfortunately, none of the problems were answered by any doctors/professionals. It will be very helpful if a list of DO'S and DON'TS is available. Thanks a lot.

Hello,I had been healthy,my skin,everything,but when i turned 18 i started having these small like red patches near one of my breasts,actually,i only have one,and now,its looks like if i had been born with it,first it was pink,now it turned a little darker,but still skin color,anyway,i got worried when it kind of started appearing like white things in the circunference of it,Also,i developed some white circles around the right side of my neck,went to the doctor and he said it was stress,i don't know,i didt show him the one near the breast,any ideas of what it is? I am 19 now,and had some spots like the one near my breast when i was 14 around my hands,again they said it was stress...Any help/idea/solution?

Psoriasis is an immune system problem, it is also hereditory. I have had it off and on most of my life but only very small patches on my feet and head. There is also something else people who suffer from Psoriasis should keep a look out for and thats a condition known as Psoriatic Arthritis. This commonly affects joints of the hands and feet and the tendons where they attach to bone. Psoriatic arthritis is one of a group of rheumatic diseases known as spondyloarthropathies and only those that suffer from Psoriasis will develop it. My doctor put me on Methotrexate to control the arthritis, low and behold my Psoriasis has got a lot better since i started the disease-modifying drugs.

I am 13-years-old and I've had Psoriasis all of my life. It never used to be bad, but now it covers nearly every possible part of my body. It's horrible, at 13, I should be going out with friends and having a good time, but I have no body confidence at all. I always have to be covered up with coats and long trousers, even when it's summer. The most embarrassing thing is that sometimes I will be sat down somewhere, then when I get up there are lots of flakes where I have just been. :C

I have my 1st dermatology app today,i have suffered with this for around 8 years,it cleared up initially then returned as vengeful as a mitchell brother,I either flake or smear greasy ointment whenevr i lay or sit down,my partner gets annoyed cause i have ruined alot of bedsheets,lol.Im 38 next month and just wanted to say my heart goes out to the really younger generation affected by it,Dont stop the treatment however frustrating or seemingly non effective,Maybe 1 day 1 of you may be the 1 who recieves the miracle cure,Its something that alot of us feel ugly about im sure and although its so much easier said than done try not to let it bring you down,The vicious circle of stress causing it and stressing about it making it worse for me is a true statement,If i could offer a small piece of advice it would just be,cut down the fags if u smoke,relax if and when u can and dont give up,all 3 things i wished id done to help and didnt.good luck take care and keep smiling

hi im 15 coming sixteen and ive suffered from "guttate psoriasis" since i was 10 im coming up my 16th birthday in a thew months time and im quite honestly sick of this ugly uncomfortable skin rash! i developed it whilst i had the flu when my immune system was low it started as a few scaly spots on the tops of my thighs and it now covers all my thighs especially the inner sides, continueing up my tummy and onto my arms , ive also been given many different creams such as " dovabet" to try and clear but it only clears it for a short space of time and then it appears again. it makes me feel embarrased to go out in skirts or shorts and whenever im asked to go to the beach with friends i always make excuses like i have plans because im too scared of what people might say im very self concious of my body now and i feel like this skin rash is ruining my social life I'd really appreaciate some proffesional help because its getting to the point where i hate going out and i often get extremley upset about this- if anyone can advise me on who to contact id be extremley grateful thankyou:)

hi i am 23 and hav suffered from psoriasis since i was about 16. i have been to the hospital tried many of differet creams, tablets, tar treatment and uv light treatment. at some points it has cleared but always seems to come back worse, it makes me depressed not want to go out and i am constantly shoppin for long sleeved tops and pants cant wear flip flops. this makes me hate summer and i would do anything to keep it under control. please help!!!

i'm 17 an ive recently noticed a few spots of psoriasis around my body not large just quite small, my mum also has it an my nan.. so i think its hereditory, still tho id like to keep it under control. is there a good cream i should buy to clear it up? an do you keep it hydrated or do you dry it out?
