When Jack Gaskin first noticed a patch of dry skin on his scalp, he thought little of it. But soon itchy, flaky lesions also started to appear on his face, armpits, legs, backside and even behind his ears.
“Eventually, there was almost no part of my body that was unaffected,” says Jack, 39, who lives in Wallington in South London.
His GP diagnosed psoriasis, a common skin condition that causes angry, inflamed lesions and affects an estimated 1.3 million in the UK.
