I have it, it does not disgust me, disgust is a bit harsh isnt it?
If I have an outbreak it will put me off meeting a new person for sex, and if its really bad I may put off meeting someone I know.
However, I met a girl a little while ago, not from here. I told her that I almost didnt come over cause i was on the tailend of a psoriasis outbreak, and the redness had calmed down, it had almost vanished but it was still there.
They told me it was silly they could barely see it. After the second round of passionate carry on, the psoriasis had become red and inflamed.
They just said "Oh I see what you mean", and ran off naked and came back with a vitmin moisturiser cream and started to rub it in.
Okay so what to do -
First, remember its an immune response, technically its not just a patch of dry skin. So you need to help the immune response.
1. You need to restore the PH level of the skin in that area to an acidic 4.5-6ph as its now destroyed and thats a fungus/bacteria barrier.
2. You need to kill all and any bacteria or fungus on your skin, this means friendly and harmful stuff.
3. You need to moisturise without undoing both the above.
so...
1 - To restore the ph you can use apple cider vinegar with the mother. It has the right ph and it has vitamins and minerals that will help the skin. (the mother is cloudy part of vinegar means unfiltered). Look for acidic soaps, acidic moisturisers.
The skin industry has been moving to more acidic base for their "sensitive" range, the new mouses and milks have been reformulated to be more acidic about 5.5ph but be careful picking.
2. Killing whats on the skin can be done with apple cider vinegar too, but it smells, you could use savlon, or uv rays too, it needs to be done while fixing the acid mantle. It will sometimes work on its own but may take drastically different times to work.
3. You need to make sure none of your products undo the work above. Carex hand wash is acidic, but dove is not. Your hair products might be neutral or even alkali, touching your hair then scratching the area would undo the work if that were the case. It can be really hard to find the ph level of soaps and moisturisers a lot dont list it. So spend some time googling, if you find one that a shop near sells, just go for it.
Lastly, it might just be a stress reaction, so try not to worry. |
