So for more detail. my dad has psoriasis and as i know that this skin disease is genetic ive started to wonder whether mabey i could have it too. I am aware however that apparently this form of genetic disease "skips" the female gender and passes onto males, but what about exceptions? I am in the age in which the symptoms would start appearing. In the past months my elbows have becaume more dryer and my other elbow at the moment is rather red and has started to form a small crust. It COULD be an incident of very dry skin though so it isnt a definate symptom. my hairdresses has pointed out though that my scalp is also very dry and her first option was psoriasis. It isnt a normal form of dandruff (as this is supposed to be very small flaky) but it comes in more moderate scalp.

I hope someone will take more "professional" approach to this question and not just bash out saying ew gross. I am seeing the dermatologist some time soon but id really appreciate expierience from someone other than my dad. thanks
