How do you manage to wear shorts and tank tops in summer when you have psoriasis?

2

I suppose that falls under the heading, are you dressing for others or to make yourself feel comfortable and cool? Do you use salt water baths and extreme moisturizer at night and cotton PJs?

No i love wearing shorts and tank top I don't care what others thinks. No I wear shorts tshirt

Wear what you want to wear. To hell what people think. Covering yourself up or bundling for the cold does not help this would only cause flair ups. There are a few things that I do to control it. Cut pork off your diet, udder balm helps tremendously. Ocean water works wonders.

Cut pork off your diet. I continue to wear shots and tank tops regardless of the ignorant people that stair and make comments. Your never going to get better covering yourself all the time. You have to allow your skin to breathe. Try this!

Yeah I guess your right but I'm don't have enough confidence in myself

I'm sorry for your lack of confidence. I know where your coming from. Despite how people look at me and the possibility of having people saying rude crap, I wear shorts and tank tops. I know my real friends won't say anything to me, they are very understanding. Covering it up will only make it worse.

Lately what has been helping is sea salt. I mix it heavly with water and use a small cloth to soak it in the rub it in the effected areas. This also help control the itching. I wear t shirts and shorts not carring what people would say. I also found a support group here in Chicago through meetup that will be starting soon. No one is ever going to get better if you cover yourself up all the time. Have to let your skin breath!

Salt water and sun are great for psoriasis. My docs recommended tanning beds or therapeutic UV exposure. Working up from 3-8 minutes in a tanning bed daily may help, but ask a doctor first. I alternate between a few shampoos and body washes that have worked in order to get the best results. Alternating between 3 different ones that work well for you, switching out every other week may provide great results. Honestly, wear what you want, be comfortable. Applying topical steroids prescribed by your doctor as needed instead of daily may also provide better results. I've found it to be much more effective that way.
