Diagnosed with Psoriasis at 61
Posted Wed 13 Apr 2022 17.21 by moyat@yahoo.com
I’ve recently been diagnosed with psoriasis. Which is very severe over my whole body except neck, face and head. Doctor thinks it may have resulted from a throat infection.
I would like to know if anyone else at my age has been diagnosed with psoriasis, what treatment they had and did it clear up. Many thanks Moya

A P sufferer for over 30 years, through good and bad times.
Hello Moya, sorry to hear you have been suffering and newly diagnosed.
Sadly P can affect at any age young or old. I was late teenage years but my Father has recently been diagnosed at 90.
A throat infection is something known to bring on or make P worse.
As far as treatment went my Father was given the usual creams, then was prescribed an oral drug for a few months. He now is managing it with dovobet ointment oh and moisturiser helps.
I hope you find something that works.

Hello Moya
Late life onset of psoriasis, is actually extremely common
I have met many people who have have never ever had psoriasis, then suddenly got it when they were in their 60s and 70s
Main triggers seem to be a strep throat infection, or stress resulting from a shock (death of spouse)

@anna, i am not sure the value in applying the cocois and then immediately washing it off. I do not see that you would derive any benefit from the cocois.
