Alice Weekes was diagnosed with the skin condition when she was just 15 A SELF-conscious psoriasis sufferer is learning to love herself and her skin – despite comments from strangers asking if she\u2019s contagious.<\/p>\n

Alice Weekes, 18, from Fareham, Hampshire, began to suffer problems when she was just 11, when hairdressers thought she had ringworm on her scalp. However, this didn\u2019t turn out to be the case as her skin worsened over the next few years before she was diagnosed with psoriasis at the age of 15.<\/p>\n

Photographs show how badly Alice can be affected during her flare ups, which can cover up to 70 percent of her body at any one time. Alice said: \u201cWhen the flare ups started I was feeling really self-conscious and started wearing clothes that would cover my whole body, so people wouldn\u2019t see.<\/p>\n

Dove’s DermaSeries Advertisements Feature Women With Skin Conditions<\/h2>\n

Dove has stepped out of the ordinary in order to feature women with skin conditions in their latest product launch. Focusing on those of us with various skin conditions, they are using models with psoriasis, eczema and other skin conditions to showcase their new line of fragrance-free moisturizers.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not often we see advertisements with models who don\u2019t have \u201cflawless,\u201d airbrushed skin \u2013 despite the fact that more than one in four Americans live with a skin disease. Even ads for products meant to combat red, flaky or itchy skin feature models who don\u2019t have a single blemish anywhere on their bodies. But a new campaign from Dove is trying to change that.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Dove launched its\u00a0DermaSeries collection \u2013 a range of hypoallergenic and fragrance-free products made especially for those with dry skin.\u00a0Unlike other ad campaigns, Dove\u2019s features women who live with the skin conditions its products are meant to treat, including\u00a0eczema, psoriasis and acne.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese women are under-represented in mainstream media \u2013 they don\u2019t feature them even in advertisements aimed at them. We are changing this by putting real women with real conditions \u2013 looking beautiful, confident and at peace with their skin \u2013 at the heart of our campaign for Dove DermaSeries,\u201d\u00a0a Dove spokesperson told The Mighty.<\/p>\n

A 20-year-old woman from Cornwall claims that she\u2019s cleared up her psoriasis<\/a> with a plant-based diet. Jessica Belshaw has sufferered with psoriasis since she was 13.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a condition which causes skin cells to produce faster than your body can shed them, leaving red, flaky, crusty patches of skin covering the sufferer. It can be incredibly itchy and sore.<\/p>\n

Jessica first noticed spots on her torso, but as she could easily cover them up, didn\u2019t tell anybody about it until she was 15 when she was diagnosed with guttate psoriasis after small red patches started spreading\u00a0over her entire body.<\/p>\n

By covering up \u2013 even in the height of summer \u2013 Jessica avoided stares from outsiders until her skin condition was affecting her hands, when she started noticing people moving away from her. This woman claims she cured her psoriasis with veganism<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
