Written by Katya Meltaus
Posted on November 3, 2021

“I found out I had psoriasis long after having symptoms,” MyPsoriasisTeam member Katya Meltaus told MyPsoriasisTeam. She thought it was normal for her skin to behave strangely on occasion. Her early plaques seemed like nothing more serious than a patch of dry skin. It wasn’t until she had plaques covering her entire calf that she sought medical attention.
