I have been fighting psoriasis for about 20 years now, but never had it until well into adulthood. My father had some skin issues, and my son fights some skin issues related to eczema. So I guess it does run in families.
My scalp part isn't too bad (and I wear a helmet skiing and that amounts to
2-4 hours a day about 4-5 days a week), just the flaking, but one leg is getting really bad--feeling like a big burn and with more random patches appearing. It usually seemed to get better in winter (go figure) but not this year. It is pretty ugly but I wear shorts anyway---I figure it isn't any worse to look at than a big birthmark. Have always avoided medications except topical, but I am about to go to a dermatologist. I don't see any diet connections or clothes connections in my case, but who knows, maybe I haven't noticed! Suggestions always welcome--yes, let's share!
