But, as we age, we are more susceptible and have more psoriasis if we have it at all. That's the gist of what I have read. Keep my updated on what you find out, please.
That’s just my logical thought process.. will look into it further just out of interest. Also thinking, it affects about 1 in ten of us I believe, and you don’t see 1 in ten elderly people covered head to toe in psoriasis..
In my family, psoriasis tends to get better with age. Reason being that once you are retired, there is less stress, more time spent outside in the sun, etc.
That’s interesting, makes sense..
I don’t know of anyone in my family who has/had psoriasis so I have no one to compare notes with..
I am not sure that the age makes a great difference as I have been retired ten years now and even though the Stelara keeps it at bay, or at least the P, it certainly struggles with the PsA.
Mind you I haven't put my feet up and am the director of a maintenance company so that may have a bearing on the situation.
