Do women get psoriasis too? Or does it usually affect men?

Answer 1

Psoriasis affects both men and women. Most people with psoriasis develop it between 27 to 45 years of age while the rest -- from childhood or avanced age.

There are no known scientific data available on the prevalence of psoriasis between male vs females as the registry of psoriasis is still very low in most countries.

Answer 2

I was diagnosed with psoriasis at age 14 and now I am 36 years old. You can say that I have tried just about every medicine both approved by FDA and trial without much success. Examples include Enbrel, Humira, oral meds, creams, oils, salts, coal tar, etc and the list is much more extensive that I can't even remember all of the names. But recently after someone shared this video https://tr.im/psoriasisCures2015hTXp everything has changed. My psoriasis completely cleared by putting these changes in place. I only wish I'd taken photos of before and after because it truly has been miraculous. I am getting married in Oct, 2015 and I am wearing a strapless gown that also shows my back and I am confident (not like before) that my skin will be soft and pretty vs red and flakey.
