How can my family help with my psoriasis treatment?
ANSWER
Your close relatives, like your parents, spouse, or a brother or sister, can be a huge help. You can usually count on them to understand your feelings and offer practical help. Don't take their backing for granted, though, as a support role doesn't come easily to everyone.
