Psoriasis runs in my family. My granny had it quite badly. I had a little bit of it when I was a teenager on my scalp. It seemed to have cleared from my scalp though.
A few years ago - about 4 years ago, I noticed my knees had white scaly bits and it looked like there was some red underneath the white scaly patches.
I did absolutely nothing with these knees. I never treated this. It didn't get bigger and it never went away.
I started wearing shorts again last week and I decided to do something about these patches. I bought an over the counter gel. It's adex-gel. I still didn't get around to using it until today. This morning I woke up and one of my knees were sore. I am yet to establish what the pain is from. I really don't think it is the joint that is sore. The pain is on and off and the pain is more aggressive when my clothes is draping on top of my knees. So my pyjamas this morning followed by pants. I am now wearing a dress and it's ok. There is still some pain at times.
Can psoriasis get sore and painful?
