Soon, my sickness has spread all over my body. I
had large, red, scaly patches and it either burns
or itches. It made me insecure, so I had to wear
long-sleeved shirt and dresses, and I had to
wear pants only, NO SHORTS. People are
discriminating me for having this disease,
calling me a dog since my skin looks like a dog
who has "galis".
Those words truly had an impact on me and my
life, I felt ashamed of my skin and since then, I
barely even went out of our house. One day,
reality hit me. I can't just let myself sulk in my
room just because
people disgust my skin. I gave myself a fresh,
new start.
I started changing my diet and applied
medicinal cream which is called Dermovate
daily, and I wore what I wanted to wear
everyday without having a care about what other
people say. We can never please anyone, right?
So I'm dressed to only
impress myself.
Accepting my Psoriasis has changed my life
because if I continue to hate it, it will just stress
me out completely and I will not have a
complete new outlook on life.
So, whenever you feel insecure because of your
skin, learn to love them. Because learning to
love them is also learning to accept them, and
you won't be afraid of what others might say to
you. You only please yourself, and not everybody
else.
