TikTok star Rosie Daniels (@itsrosieandharry), has been living with psoriasis for ten years. The patches first appeared on her scalp, but later covered her body.

The specific inflammatory pathway in psoriasis manifests heavily in the skin.” Psoriasis presents as red, scaly patches which are often sore and itchy.
