Teenagers are not the only ones to feel self-conscious about their skin and their appearance. All of us would like to feel attractive to others and are hurt when we feel rejected. It’s just a natural part of being human.
Many people with psoriasis feel that the general public doesn’t understand their condition. They may worry that people – even family or friends -- may be put off by the appearance of psoriatic plaque. These feelings are natural but unfortunately can affect the things you do, how you interact with others and contribute to poor body image, low self-esteem, anxiety and depression.
