1.Own your psoriasis
Don’t let the condition take over you, learning to accept it and move forward is the best way to deal with psoriasis. Continue to think with a positive mindset and try speaking positively. Practise phrases such as: “my psoriasis doesn’t bother me” or “my psoriasis doesn’t define me”.
2.No one’s looking
Don’t stress out about people staring at your psoriasis, chances are no one is looking! Be positive, psoriasis is a common condition that many deal with. Don’t waste your summer days constantly covering up. Avoid layering on the items of clothing in summer, the sweat can cause irritation against your skin and cause your psoriasis to flare up.
