This might be a stupid question but I see threads where people say they had psoriasis over 70% 80% or 90% of their body.
Now I probably have psoriasis over arms, legs, back, bottom, face, scalp and a little on my torso.
So that equates to about 60% of my body but as a total of my skin surface area its only a small amount as its lots of patches and I have a lot of skin.
My consultant said that I rated about 3 out of 10 on a "how bad is my psoriasis scale" which is ok, well I don't want to be a 10 out of 10.
So how do I measure my psoriasis. I have seen the scoring methods but then I have to decide whats good bad or indifferent and it varies every few days on how itchy, angry or generally pee'd off I get.
