Yeah a few weeks ago at work a new woman started first thing she said to me was what's wrong with your scalp then proceeded to walk around me looking at my psoriasis. I actually think it's looking not to bad just now so I'd hate to have seen her when I've a real bad flare up
Yes,As a child the teacher didnt like the look of my skin when i went swimming , That was it, the end of swimming, luckily i learnt to swim before i got banned lol,I picture the teachers face now and can see the horror on it, Never liked her anyway , snotty nose cow, I was 10 years old then :)
Neither have I been discriminated as well. I guess the world isn't such a bad place at all? People can be cruel but the more they are aware of an illness the less they will judge. :)
Im sure people stared but never asked about my hair..My neighbour loved it when my psoriasis had started & was in full flare..she would come & scratch off the thick flakes with a comb .. this was a daily ritual .. I loved it coz that thing itches like a @#$^&.......
hahahaha Ellen. What a lucky girl you are to have your neighbour scratching off the flakes. I wonder what my neighbour will think If I ask him to do the same? People will always stare no matter what illness we have. I used to itch so much that I scratched myself till I bled but oh, it. felt. so. good! I used to say the feeling is way better than an orgasm. lol. :)
A woman and her child stopped their shopping cart in front of me one summer day.
The mother said loudly"Oh my God what's wrong with your skin"?
I turned and started her down and said "I have Leprosy ".
She couldn't have gotten out of that store any faster.

Not yet but it is pretty embarrassing at times when you’re dealing with customers
Erica @Eri
Yes but nothing serious... Just people staring and asking questions but all that took a blow was my ego
