CariDee developed psoriasis when she was 5 years old. As a teenager, it covered nearly 70 percent of her body. She spent years gathering information and trying various treatments. Her psoriasis persisted but so did CariDee. She maintained an optimistic outlook and a vision of becoming a model. After a hard-won acceptance of the disease, and visits to three different dermatologists to find a treatment that works for her, she is living her dream.
CariDee wants to spread awareness about psoriasis and educate others that they, too, can live their dreams.
A self-proclaimed "goof," CariDee has undeniable drive and personality. She visited the National Psoriasis Foundation offices in late April and shared with us her personal story and her desire to find a cure for psoriasis.
