I've been really struggling with accepting myself lately. My psoriasis is severe and I have it near my private area. I'm still a virgin because of this and I feel like I'll never find someone who will accept me when I can't even accept myself.

I’m really sorry this is for the female flaymers!
I’ve been suffering with genital P -splits and sores in some very intimate areas. I’m new to P and haven’t found anything that helps. How do you cope with your period? What sanitary items are best?

Timo @BlueBassett

Hi Brian. For starters, even a weak hydrocortisone 1 or 2 1/2% should help. I've treated similar spots, similar places and only had to apply for a couple of days, then I use olive oil as a preventative measure. Some natural anti-inflammatory properties with olive oil. Best of luck... BTW: Mine no longer gets inflamed down there and I still use olive oil after a shower.

...feeling frustrated Brian @brian

Embarrassing question, but can someone recommend any home treatments for P down below? I have some red, nonscaly spots on my glans that haven’t gotten better over time and am looking to try some new approaches. Pls leave a message here or PM me.
