Do you have a story to tell about living with psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis?
I had psoriasis at the age of 17
I had psoriasis at the age of 17 , it became really bad that it was painful and would split, I was given creams and lotions but nothing touched it , I felt everyone was pointing at me and talking about me , then 1 day I discovered Vaseline, I covered myself in it then went into shower got a bic razor blade broke plastic of under the blade and sliced my psoriasis off
I had to get assertive
I was first ill in the winter of 1979/80 with a flu like virus. I was working full time and had a daughter who was one, so I carried on as best I could.
