Help My Hurt

A celebrity with psoriasis

by Marijke Durning, RN on September 4th, 2008

Psoriasis is an autoimmune skin disease that can be rather mild, with just a few patches on the skin, or it can be very severe, covering large portions of the body with its scaly, red or silver, itchy and/or painful patches.

Psoriasis not only does a number on your skin - it can do a number on your emotional health as you try to hide the patches so no-one else will know. One celebrity knows what that’s like because she has lived with psoriasis since the age of 2 years. She now has come out publicly to support the Stop Hiding, Start Living campaign sponsored by the American Academy of Dermatology and the National Psoriasis Foundation.
