My name is alex, i am 20 and ive had psoriasis for about 12 years now. Its in my scalp, torso, arms, legs. And worst of all my face.

I have found in my journeys that people generally stay away from the guy "with all the red stuff and flakes on him". I dream of a day that i am not covered in psoriasis.
