JUST PUT MOISTURIZER ON YOUR FACE

Hello,

So I’m sitting with my neighbor outside. I’ve told her several times I suffer from psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. My skin is flaking and peeling with the silver patches. She looks and said, "just put some moisturizer on your face and arms, legs. It will go away."

I decided I am no longer trying to explain what I deal with. Friends just don’t get it. They say they do, but they don’t. And, I understand.

Hope, Faith, and Peace
