To be honest sometimes I think it would be easier for people with P to date other people with P. Some people without P will never understand and it’s just so much harder to date when you have P. 23 and never been in the dating game

Do you have family members with psoriasis? I’ve had psoriasis for over 15 years and no one else in my family has it until I found out last week that my dad’s cousins have it. I feel like it’s strange because we’re so far removed in the family tree.
