The Winding Road to Psoriasis Treatment Self 3 hrs ago © Nhung Le
Alisha Bridges, 33, was diagnosed with psoriasis at the age of seven, during her first dermatology appointment. But it took almost two decades to find a treatment that worked for her, and for that entire time, psoriasis covered about 90% of her body.
“Some doctors believed psoriasis was the wrong diagnosis,” Bridges, who blogs about life with psoriasis, tells SELF. “Some assumed I had a fungus or another skin condition.”
When Bridges was 24, she had a skin biopsy, which finally confirmed that she had psoriasis.
Misdiagnosis is unfortunately common.
Some people with psoriasis get a diagnosis quickly, while for others it can feel like forever making an unpredictable disease even more frustrating.

Skin Care on TikTok: Meet the Derms and Cosmetic Chemists on a Mission to Stop Misinformation First Published: March 2, 2021 104 Shares This soap bar will cure your acne. Vaseline can melt blackheads. This breakfast will make your skin glow. If you ve spent any time on TikTok, then you ve probably come across at least one of these pieces of beauty advice before. Routines, hacks, and tips are flying around the platform at the same speed as viral dance challenges, with no sources or scientific evidence to support them. It s not uncommon to see people with zero science or skin-care credentials giving definitive advice on good and bad products based on an ingredient list (often demonizing safe ingredients) or diagnosing skin conditions. On TikTok, everyone has become a skin-care expert, and sadly, the majority of their information is incorrect.

Whether you follow a strict 10-step routine or prefer the upmost minimalism, finding your failsafe skin care can be a complex process of trial and error. With so many products on the market, not only do you need to find those that work best for your skin type, but you also need to ensure the ingredients play well together, too. Similarly to retinol, the benefits of niacinamide seem to hold no bounds, but the big question is: can these two powerhouse ingredients be used together?
