The psoriatic arthritis can affect people of all ages. Psoriasis on its own can come and go often with long periods of remission. In most cases, however, psoriasis is persistent. It can come and go without any obvious reason. Psoriasis does not necessarily become worse with age.
Psoriasis can occur at any age from infancy to the elderly.
Psoriasis will often remain in small localized areas and never spread. It helps to be aware of these aggravating factors. But remember, psoriasis can flare without any seeming cause. You should try to stop mechanically irritating your psoriasis if possible. Psoriasis can develop for the first time in sites of skin injury from cuts, burns or infections.
