Are you 35+ with a skin condition?

Are you a 35+ female with a prominent skin condition (vitiligo, acne, psoriasis, rosacea etc) or birthmark, but you've learnt to be body confident and happy with your appearance? If so we'd love to hear from you [e-mail]. Thanks.

I am 62 and have had pityriasis lichenoides chronica for the past 6 years.  It's an unsightly disease and I am not body confident nor happy with my appearance.  It has changed my life and I wish someone would come up with a cure for this freak disease which leaves sores and scars on the body. How can anyone be happy with that?

I understand how you feel. I'm 52 and have these brown bumpy blotches all over my arms and legs and they keep spreading. If I have to hear yet one more person ask me what that is I'm going to scream. It's so bad I won't even where shorts. Let alone any swim attire. In Florida it's even worse. My dermatologist tells me to put amalactin cream on them . Yeah ok they are still there and spreading. I guess both of us will not be happy. I'm sure there are more like us. Some people need to think before they open their mouth with cruel words. 😞

Only i in 2,000 have this and WE had to get it. They fade and you think all is well, then more pop up and you want to put a fist through the wall. I threw out my t-shirts and shorts. Dapsone helps a bit, but they're never contained.

Sorry you have this also. It DOES drive a person mad!
