I was 10, i had just moved from Dorset to Jersey, it was not the greatest, but with the help of Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital & Jersey General Hospital (Pediatrics) i pulled through the worst of it okay.

felixelix, maybe it was the move that set it off? Ive heard that times of stress can trigger pso. Gd to hear you got it treated, though, must have been quite bad if you were at St Ormond Street?

Well...it started as 2 patches on my head when I was 11..I didn't know what it was and I didn't see the doctor till I was 14..so I guess I've only really had it and known that it was psoriasis since last year...around this time...

First got it in my scalp when I was six, I'm now fourteen and have patches on my arms, legs, face, scalp, back, stomach and chest :( But most of the time I just forget about it, it doesn't really affect my life, sometimes people ask me if it's contagious or say 'Why don't you use Head and Shoulders?' (you think I didn't try that?!) but yeah it's just something you deal with.

I have had psoriasis for as long as I can remember (I am 19) and have had a variety of treatments with varying success.

I was 8 when it started and I was treated for it over a course of 18 months and I was then absolutely clear until I was 13 when it came back on my scalp, back of ears and stomach; I still have Psoriasis on my scalp and back of ears two and a half years later.

Severely. Feeling ill and very self conscious. Irritation also.

I was 4 years old, but the flare up left when I was 9. I am now 15 and in just 3 weeks it flared up again really bad so hopefully it will go soon with all the creams and treatments.

140 characters for my biography?! I'm just gonna keep it short and sweet like a tweet. 😏 LIFE WITH PSORIASIS SUCKS.

I was diagnosed with psoriasis about 2 weeks after I turned 19...

I'll be 20 this coming April... it hasn't been a year since I've been diagnosed so this Psoriasis thing is still quite fresh to me.
