These things are not hearsay. I am 67 and I was diagnosed by a punch biospy when I was 18. There were years of minor flares, but there were some very bad ones. I have seen several very good dermatologists who have kept up with the disease and we've tried different things. A burst of prednisone used to bring a flare under control, but we don't want to use that too often, especially now due to the possibility of osteopenia.
My Mom and her Dad had it. Thankfully, my brother does not and neither of my sons do, which means it stopped with me, thankfully.
