Hey geeks.
I have just got back from the docs today and its been confirmed I have Psoriasis. Its really bad on my body, my whole front and back is covered in big red angry patches and dry scaly skin. It's now spreading onto my arms and up my neck.:cry: :cry: :cry: I am PRAYING it doesnt go onto my face.
I have been given tablets to take, steroid cream and another cream to put on top to bottom 3 times a day. I just cant believe it. I look awful.
Bang goes going out in the lovely clothes I used to, no strappy tops, no backless dresses. I cant wear fake tan anymore either. It feels like I cant 'look like me' anymore.
The doc said it's down to stress, and because it's quite a 'bad case' it might not go away.
Do any other geeks have Psoriasis? Has it improved for you at all? Does it fade / go away eventually?
I just cant stand the thought of opening my salon looking like a scabby old horse.:cry: I'm so afraid that clients will see me and think 'YUK', if they dont know what it is. It's going to be so embarassing explaining what it is and that its not 'catching'. It really looks horrible.
One lady I saw once had bad psoriasis, and I remember thinking how sorry I was for her. Now Ive got it.
I have never been one to suffer with skin probs - EVER. Never even had 'dry skin' before.
I feel like crying x
