...feeling frustrated Niyo @niyo

hello everyone. I have psoriasis since 2008. I have been stigmatized for long time. I succeeded to accept myself and live positively with it but the time it attacked my genital parts, I knew that I will never forgive it.

Bit of a personal one but what do you do for genital psoriasis? Noticed it's a little red and tender at times. Difficult to manage!

So, I have a question for everyone. I have noticed that my psoriasis has spread to my nether regions. It causes me to be very itchy but it's embarrassing to itch ALL the time. Does anyone have any remedies??

Johann @Ola

So my psoriasis is located in quite an awkward place, around the groin area and between my bum cheeks...lol. This has made it really hard for me to be intimate with anyone. How has yours affected your love and/or sex life? Tip: People can be really mean, but also very understanding. I've never been rejected because of it, and I'm convinced this is due to my positive attitude towards my condition. Don't hold back, live your life.

fiona @scabbygirl

talk to your dermatologist. There are steroid creams that can be used on the genital area, sometimes combined with an anti fungal. be careful about the soap you use try an olive oil one and coconut oil

I am Alex. I live in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. I have had psoriasis since 8 years ago. I have it on my legs, scalp and penis. It is becoming difficult for me. My legs are ugly. I know I need some sun but I am so afraid to show them.
