Hey Justin, welcome to dermatalk skin care forum. We are sorry to hear about that. We do understand what you are going thru' all these years but just remember that you are a good person, both inside and out, regardless of what your skin looks like or what other says. Just listen to yourself, forget the others. Yea its hard but try it..There are many members who have been suffering from psoriasis for their whole life.
Make sure to consult a dermatologist before initiating any treatment plans. Always keep the skin moist and soft, you should apply heavy moisturizers after bathing so skin won't get dry. Never use use irritating cosmetics or soaps. Accutane will also help in psoriasis,also some Vit-D analog like Dovonex will control the excess skin cell growth. But most important is to consult a dermatologist get good suggestions on which combination therapy will suits you the most.
