Story
It started off with little patch of sore, flaky skin above my eyebrow. Mum applied some moisturiser to help sooth it, but it just got worse (all my psoriasis had spread all over my body and started to flare up) When we went to the doctors, they gave me some cream, We kept going back for more creams as nothing would help so after months of applying steroid creams, I was referred to Sheffield Children's hospital, who put me on more steroid creams, folic acid on methotrexate. I first got psoriasis in January 2016, later on in the year my ankles, knees, and my neck became sore/swollen bright red and burning to touch. Sheffield Children’s Hospital sent me to rheumatology who decided to send me to physiotherapy because I have been diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis. In February 2017, my rheumatologist decided I needed steroid joint injections. ( I had four injections on the same day)! I still suffer quite bad, with psoriatic arthritis, but I am not as bad with psoriasis anymore ( I have still got a few patches, but there slowly going.) As I’m only 10 years old and have psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis – I thought it would be great idea to raise money and awareness for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis by supporting the Psoriasis Association UK charity.
