Hiya, there's someone I really like and I wanna spend a bit more time with him, but he doesn't know I have ps as I'm quite good at covering it up.
When do you think I should tell him? And what do you think I should say?
Really appreciate any help!
:o)

I don't really think there is a good time to tell :S So i think you should tell him once you have build a good friendship and you think you can trust him to understand what you are going through. If you are good at hiding it i don't think he will mind it that much. As to what you should tell him just tell him what it is and say that he can ask you any questions about it, because from my experience its better if they feel they can ask questions about your psoriasis and get to understand what your going through :). Hope this helps :) xxxx

I've been seeing someone for a few months and still not spoke about it, i try my best to hide it, although he has more than likely seem it cos there's alot, he hasn't said anything, i suppose it's just when u feel comfortable?
I've been in a few relationships and it's never been easy, i feel like if i show n tell them about it they will think im dirty n they might catch it.
Wait till u see if this person is gonna stick about for a while cos if he aint then there's no point going through that for nothing, if it's gonna be long term then tell him when u feel comfortable and not a minute before :P If he's a good guy he will accept it, if not he aint worth spending time with.

Well it depends where it is, like if it's on your arms or face, an obvious place you could just not cover it up. I don't really think you need to tell him, just don't hide it. It's not like it affects him at all so there doesn't need to be a confession. Otherwise just bring it into normal conversation like 'I've got to go to the GP to pick up my ointment tonight', and he can ask 'What for?' and you can say 'Oh, I have psoriasis, it's just this genetic skin condition - don't worry it's not contagious.' Then you can move on to a new topic of conversation.

i tend just to be open about having psorasis, i explain what it is and always underline that it isnt contagious cause i reckon most people think it is, good luck :)

iv been with my boyfriend for two years now, i started getting psoriasis after the relationship had started, but my boyfriend doesnt mind at all! infact he probably reminds me to use my creams etc more than i remember myself. i am still insecure about them but thats expected, theyre hardly attractive are they? tell him when you feel comfortable! if you dont feel comfortable with them yourself your not going to feel comfortable about someone else knowing are you?
