How much do you have hun. Is it mild?
I know in college we were told to never wax somone with psoriasis. However, why should you miss out? My friend has it really bad,it's all over her face and body. I wax her legs and just avoid her psoriasis and pluck the hairs that are in her scaly bits out with tweezers.

Its not that bad to be honest!! Just thought about having my legs waxed for a change, been such along time since Ive had them done....Ive shaved them instead!!!

I dont see why they wouldnt do it then. Pop into a salon and just ask them hun.
Shame i'm not close to you, i would have done it for you!

I really don't see it being a problem. You may find that it even relieves the itching.

Just make sure to remind your waxer to not double dip and if it starts to bleed, then get her stop as you'll just end up in a worse state.

Have a fab holiday. The sun will do it good. xxx

I have a client who comes for a full leg, bikini and underarm wax once a month and she has psoriasis on her legs. Mainly on her knees and shins and she insists that I wax over them as she said its the only way that keeps it from getting worse. She has had waxing done for the past 20 years and says if the areas are omitted due to a therapist not willing to wax over them, she can guarantee that the psoriasis goes worse until she has her appointment again.

I do use a new spatula for each area and don't double dip on the psoriasis bits. She then apparently gives the areas a 'blast' under the sun lamp once the top scales have been removed with the wax.

She always tips me well and says not many therapists will do this for nowadays and says she is so happy to find me who will still do it for her. She has been coming to me now for the last 6 months and the psoriasis has not got worse in this time.

If the areas were broken I would not wax and I have explained this to her, to which she is happy about. She states it only gets to that stage if its not waxed and zapped lol!!

Thankyou all of you for your replies!!

Are there any WAXY GEEKS on here who live in Peterborough...???
