Ive had it since i was 7, i am now 15. Really affected my self esteem and i constantly try to hide it.
Sorry you had to wait so long for someone to get back to you! I' a 16 year old girl and I have had psoriasis for 9, almost 10 years. My main piece of advice would be to moisturize with aveeno moisturizer, that's what my dermatologist has advised to me and it really helps! I used to have confidence issues because of this too, but it gets easier, my friends understand what it is and everything and I guess that makes them more understanding towards me so I would advice talking to your close friends and making them aware about whats going on if you havn't already done so! It might go away but there isnt a cure for it, it tends to be a live with condition. It will get better though and not be as noticeable but there may be times in your life where it crops up again, like for me stress triggers mine so now I'm going through exams its getting worse. Hope this helps!
