A lot of people are still ignorant of skin conditions i.e eczema and psoriasis, anything that is red, itchy and scaling are mistaken as a contagious illness. They tend to shy away from these individuals leading to isolation and lack of socialisation. The public should ought to be educated, so that they have a better understanding and be able to help to support the people with skin ailments. One particular individual suffers from scalp psoriasis and unfortunately she has the dilemma in finding a hairdresser. She manage to find one after a long list of visiting a hair salon and the individual accepted her because the hairdresser's friend suffers with scalp psoriasis thus have a good understanding about it.
An individual with eczema was out in a public place, the young girl asked her mom what has the lady had and the mother replied ' that is what you get for not washing '. How rude is that, she needs to be sensitive. After all it is not her fault to have eczema, it is down to her genes that she inherited from her family. Atopic eczema can be inherited, most likely tendencies of suffering from asthma and hay fever.
Treatment of these skin conditions can be time consuming and cost a fortune to the sufferer. It helps in alleviating or controlling the severity of the symptoms but the treatment is not geared towards a cure. The pharmaceutical company does not have the cure to psoriasis and eczema yet. My message to the public is to be sensitive, not to place a stigma on individuals with eczema and psoriasis. I am hoping that I can educate and dessiminate information to the public at the same time support people with skin conditions.
