Dating with psoriasis

Posted Wed 11 Jun 2025 18.39 by Frankie

I'm 47 and my psoriasis started about 3 years ago. It's from head to foot but worse on my bottom and thighs. I've always been a confident happy person but my confidence has deteriorated so much, and I've been single for the last year. How do others manage dating with psoriasis? How do people feel about exposing their plaques in public. I'm spending the hot weather covered from head to foot and it's really affecting my mood. Any tips or advice?

I've suffered with it my whole life from maybe 5- currently 21 so believe me I know the confidence loss especially back when I was in school and people thought I just wouldn't shower even though it was just a medical issue but kids can be kids and believe me adults can be worse luckily mines been restricted to my head but still unmissable and black shirts suck but even still my love life hasn't been a dry desert most people genuinely couldn't care less if you have it or not sure it'll make a dating site hard but lets be real if they cant put up with your psoriasis are they really someone you need in your life.
