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.
