Men & Women Stylish Fashion Tips to Cover Psoriasis
Psoriasis occurs when skin cells multiply too fast and accumulate on the skin surface, causing redness, itching, and flaking on affected skin areas. The affected areas are called psoriasis plaques. It is non-contagious, afflicts about 2% of the population, and currently there is no cure. My husband suffers from psoriasis and I can only empathize with how much the itching, flaking and redness must bother him. There have been occasions when he is not wanting to go out to social events because of the visible redness.
A Few Fashion Tips
Tips for Men
- Avoid dark colors to not show flakes.
- Wear long pants and suits in the winter.
- Wear loose fitting clothes
- Choose natural, breathable fabrics.
- Wear a second layer under your clothes so harsh fabric don’t irritate your skin.
Tips for Women
- Cover your feet but, show off your toes wearing Peep-toe shoes.
- Wear knee-high boots.
- Wear sequins. Flakes will slide off sequins so you don’t need to worry about flaking.
- Wear shrugs with strappy sundresses or maxi dresses.
- Wear large accessories to distract people’s eyes. Chunky rings and jewelry.
- During Winter months wear flashy scarves.
- Don’t wear black because it shows flakes
- Also, no tights. Psoriasis plaques can shed even through opaque tights.
