just diagnosed

[Kat]

I am a woman 58, just was diagnose of psoriasis... not 100%   , but very close, going to see dermatologist next week..
I am covered by terrible red spots (a lot!) - hands look ugly, legs too, but other parts of the body start to show these red spots... Feel very frustrated..How can i go to south vacation - i look scary for people.

Welcome!!

Well, first never feel you look ugly although I understand the social aspect of dealing with psoriasis and have had numerous embarrassing moments myself. The important thing is to find treatment so that you feel better first and try not to worry about those people that don't matter anyway (yes, I know it's hard)

You're not alone and this is a great place to be because everyone here understands the struggles.
