As a general observation, psoriasis first develops in relatively young people, often in the teens or early adulthood. However, it is not unknown for psoriasis to be seen in children much younger than this, nor is it impossible that it can develop later in life either.
And as previously suggested, because psoriasis is a chronic condition, it is something with which a sufferer is burdened for the rest of their life.
However, this does not for a moment mean that psoriasis is a constant. Indeed, for most sufferers, it is a condition that will vary in severity throughout their life depending upon lifestyle factors at any given time.
For example, it is extremely common for someone who has psoriasis to suffer the most serious outbreaks at the times of greatest stress, whereas the opposite is also true, so that their visible psoriasis almost disappears at those times when they are at their most relaxed.
The same would also be true when you suffer an infection which can trigger an attack, whereas at times when infections are not a problem, the severity of your psoriasis is likely to recede.
When you understand the connection between your immune system and the prevalence of psoriasis, this notion of being ‘attacked’ when you are at your lowest makes perfectly good sense.
At such a time, your immune system is either at its weakest – when you are anxious or stressed – or alternatively at its strongest, working overtime to produce T-cells to fight infections or to heal wounds. In both cases, the crucial factor is that your immune system is imbalanced and therefore your T-cell count is also out of kilter, hence the vulnerability to an outbreak of more severe lesions.
