Free the spots!

[jiml]

It's a couple of months since I decided to stop any treatment (yes even natural ones) and I'm patchier than ever, but I've been wandering about with vest tops on and honestly forgetting what I look like- I may have had funny looks but I haven't noticed them.

It itches a bit but not that much especially if I do moisturise (which I don't bother with that much) but I feel free - and no longer being coerced into taking nasty drugs just in an attempt to look nice for others.

If my psoriasis goes nuts again, then I will look at taking something, I have had uncontrollable itching in the past so I don't take it lightly, but for now it's just cosmetic and I'm just leaving it alone.

So, has anyone else decided to just give up on treatment and bare all? I think it would be great if we actually see more psoriasis in daily life, and maybe people will just get used to it instead of wondering if we have plague or something!

well done TL I think that's great that you have the confidence to try this out. I hope it remains comfortable for you and you don't get a nasty flare
Have you found the sun has helped on the exposed skin without creams?

Good luck with it, I agree it would be nice if we didn't feel so self conscious about the disease, and didn't try to hide it...but I couldn't do that ....but well done to you
