My Psoriasis

As a youngster, I was afflicted with the skin disease psoriasis.

red rash; white, flaky, scaly skin on arms & legs

My parents took me to a dermatologist who recommended strange treatments.

nightly routine: covering the limbs with plastic wrap before bed

The only effective cure appeared to be mega doses of vitamin D  and fresh air.

Now I crave a daily dose of self powered outdoor recreation.
