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.
