I have had it since I was a kid...started on my elbows and then by the time I was 20 got it on my knees as well.
THEN after my second child..I broke out BIGTIME...I am now 41 yrs old..and yes..its hereditary. My mother had it..and NOW it's gone. NOT a mark on her. BUT SHE IS 84 yrs old.
My older brother also has it ..worst than I do..he lives in florida and the SUN doesn't help it..and neither does the SALTWATER
I am going to try that Lecitin..someone posted a message about a book ..Healing Psoriasis, by Dr. Pagano..I am going to try it.
Look under ... Psoriasis Sufferer..Sally Saucer..read that message. and then copy down the book..go to your local bookstore and pick up a copy...I'm going in a little while to get a copy for myself.
I gotta try something...AND SO DO YOU..your young yet..ya don't want to go around lookin' like a leper..THAT IS HOW I FEEL.
talk to ya soon
good luck!!
