Living with psoriasis—the chronic autoimmune disease that causes scaly, red, and inflamed skin—isn't easy, but it helps to know that there are plenty of people out there, celebs included, who are dealing with the same frustrations and struggles. According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), about 7.5 million Americans live with psoriasis, and it can happen to anyone at any age. While most people will develop psoriasis between 15 and 30 years old, the AAD says another common age decade for psoriasis is between 50 and 60 years old. There isn't a cure for psoriasis, but there are several psoriasis treatment options and lifestyle changes you can make to help relieve symptoms. That said, there are a bunch of A-listers who have spoken out about their psoriasis diagnosis in hopes of spreading awareness and keeping others from hiding behind their skin.
