Please, if anyone has any smart advice to share, what’s the easiest way to get a psoriasis diagnosis? What kind of tests are needed and where should we go?.....
We actually have someone else in the family dealing with psoriasis—it's my brother, and he's been fighting it for about 3 years now. Could there be a genetic link here, since they're uncle and nephew?
Any advice at all would mean the world to me. I'm honestly just panicking and feeling so worried right now.
Thanks everyone in advance.😕
Look, we obviously can't tell you for sure if it's psoriasis or not!! Don't let yourself spiral into a panic, and definitely don't let him see you worrying. If it is what you think it is... God forbid! That could really mess with his head.
The best move is to just get him to a dermatologist immediately. That's step one. Don't wait on this.😢😢
What I really wanted to chime in on is that my uncle also has psoriasis, and I inherited it from him! So yeah, it's definitely possible.....😢
Psoriasis is absolutely a hereditary condition!!!!
Best of luck!!!!!!!!🙂
