I am disabled from it. I had a "in law" relative once that didn't understand it and made some comments about me being disabled from it. I just raised my shirt a little. No one else in that family has said a negative thing about it since. I think the pecking order for skin is, eczema, dermatitis then psoriasis. I sometimes get the first two backwards tho. One affects the first layer of skin, the other affects the top two layers and psoriasis affects all three. I usually explain it this way, psoriasis comes from the inside not the outside. It has cost me a lot tho. Living on disability sucks, no kids since I don't want to pass this on to them, and lets not mention dating. If the skin doesn't bother them, the income part does.
