My son is 5 years old and has psoriasis

Posted by jraw @jraw, Jan 16, 2016

My son is 5 years of age and has psoriasis, covering over 50% of his body. We have tried several things, even off label medications for adults. Nothing really seems to help. Any insights out there?

Welcome to Connect, @jraw.
This must be so difficult for you and your son. I wonder if @badtweety2005 @jackee or @kam2005 have any thoughts to offer?

Here's some information from KidsHealth.org although I suspect you've already done a lot of research http://kidshealth.org/parent/medical/allergies/psoriasis.html

How long has your son had psoriasis?
