Posted Sat 17 Dec 2011 21.40 by Stephanie2011x
My arms and legs are affected and feel self concious about it and have no confidence.

Can anyone recommend any sites or shops that sell nice clothes but cover ur arms and legs, been trying to find something nice to wear for the new year but can't find anything and anything i do like shows off my arms.

I'm not sure of any shops, but if you find something you really like that shows off your arms you could just buy a plain long sleeved tops to wear underneath - no one will notice :) Georgia.

Hiya, I know NY has gone now but I know what you mean about wanting to cover up, esp with spring/summer on the way. Quite a lot of the bodycon-type dresses around now actually have longer sleeves or 3/4 length. If i want to wear a dress but my legs are pretty bad sometimes i'll put tights on with it. Don't have to be really thick ones, but a thin denier just covers it enough for me to feel a bit more confident.

If i am wearing skirt, dress or shorts i usually wear tights or long socks. for my arms I wear cardigans or nice gloves like laceyish ones or semi seethrough materials. Um also not really gloves but just go around the thumb then up the arm so covering my psoriasis.

I have had Psoriasis ever since i was 5 years old. It has affected my life in many ways, from being bullied to gaining friends and losing so

I was told by my Dermatology Nurse that cotton keeps your skin all well. DON'T wear fluffy!!!!! Fluffy just makes your skin A WHOLE LOT WORSE!!! Keep it to the simple things in life ;) However you can treat yourself and wear awesome branded clothes... :D

the affect of psoriasis for me is that i always cover it up in P.E at school and i haven't been my self in a long time because of it and me

i normally just wear long sleeves and jumpers but went its hot i just let people look and see the real me i am still really young and dont like to talk about it but if people ask i just tell them that i have psoriasis and then they just leave it but if you really struggle with it then put concealer or foundation on it if it has not got cuts because i think that can get it infected but not to shore i use to put make up on it but now i just let people see who i am
