Yip, had no idea what it was. The Doc thought it was ringworm and did a biopsy. At the time it just got progressively worse! Didn’t know how to feel, had a lot of lifey stuff going on at the time, guess I had no idea it was a life long diagnosis πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

That feeling of being "miffed" and not knowing what to do at first is so relatable β€” you're definitely not alone in that!

A MyPsoriasisTeam member shared that their psoriasis journey started in high school, noticing patches on their scalp. For a long time, they didn't realize how bad it was getting, with flaking eyebrows, eyelashes, and a covered back β€” and they felt like they should be hiding. Looking back, here's what many members wish they'd done sooner:

- Be honest with your doctor β€” even about the uncomfortable stuff
- Track your flares and symptoms β€” write everything down
- Speak up if a treatment isn't working β€” there are options!
- Don't hide or run from yourself β€” easier said than done, but so worth it

The first step is always the hardest, but getting to a doctor and starting that conversation can make a real difference. You've already taken a great step just by reaching out! πŸ’™
