Every time I go for an appointment with my dermatologist she goes through the *Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) form. And one of the questions is “Over the last week, how much has your skin influenced the clothes you wear” I always tick the “Not Relevant” box as I’m not into clothes that much.
But I have been giving it some thought after reading a post where Lady B the Stylist with Psoriasis (her words not mine) was talking about Woolly Tights.
I do have a Woolly Jacket I sometimes wear when I’m feeling cold, but I find that wool makes my skin to itchy, especially if I have a few plaques of psoriasis, which can get caught in the wool and end up weeping from the friction.
I mostly wear loose light coloured cotton and have recently found the joy of Bamboo Fibre for socks and duvet cover. A farmer’s wife near to us makes Cashmere socks and did give me a pair, very nice they was too, but at €18 per pair I found €2 Bamboo just as comfy. So I suppose Psoriasis does affect my choice of clothes after all, and I should tick the box "A Little"
What about you, does psoriasis affect your choice of clothes?
