The skin flaked, cracked and bled.
The pains were sometimes excruciating.
Stig Magne Dørmænen’s psoriasis eventually affected his entire life.
– I stopped working out at the gym because my fingers were bleeding almost all the time. I just wanted to keep to myself, he says.
But then he tried a new drug treatment – and could see results almost immediately.
The first spot appeared when Stig Magne Dørmænen was 15 years old. However, neither he nor his parents understood what the light areas on his elbows were.
– I got an appointment with our family doctor and he asked if anyone in the family had psoriasis. I told you that I had an aunt with the disease, says Stig Magne, who is 53 today, to Dagbladet.
