迷你棉绒滚筒

那些患有牛皮癣的皮肤过度,特别是那些具有头皮牛皮癣的人。许多患有这种疾病的人表示,由于牛皮癣,他们避免由于薄片出现薄薄而磨损。我保留一个迷你棉绒滚子关闭,然后从我的衣服或周边地区等滚动剥落,如我的汽车座椅。

Hand sanitizer

Whether you have psoriasis or not, hand sanitizer is a great item to keep handy. But if you are a person like me who is on a biologic that suppresses the immune system, hand sanitizer is essential to keeping the germs away.

First aid kit.

Mini first aid kit

银屑病can cause a person to have really itchy, dry, and inflamed skin. There have been times where I’ve scratched so hard I broke skin only to find a stream of blood rolling down my leg. I’m sure others can relate. I keep a mini first aid kit filled with antibiotic cream, Band-Aids, and alcohol wipes for those moments where I scratch a bit too hard.

Dress shirts for dry cleaning.

Stain eraser pen

Speaking of scratching, have you ever done so, didn’t realize you were bleeding, and the next thing you know, your clothing is stuck to your skin? This has happened to me before, especially when wearing stockings. I would suggest keeping a stain eraser pen close by so you can get rid of blood spots fast.

Eye drops

根据这一点国家银屑病基金会, seven percent of people with psoriasis will develop uveitis, which is inflammation of the eye. This condition can cause the eyes to dry out. If you have been experiencing the inability to create tears, if you’ve ever feel like there is grit in your eye, or your vision is blurry, you might suffer from the problem. Talk to your doctor, who will test you and prescribe eye drops with steroids.

Lotion

This is kind of a no-brainer, but I keep hand lotion around at all times. I keep it in my car, purse, around the house. I can’t have enough, especially in the winter time.

Small car vacuum.
ThankStock.

Mini car vacuum

There have been times I’ve entered my car only to find a heavy layer of flakes that I accidentally and unknowingly left behind. It’s a good idea to have a mini car vacuum that has a plug compatible with your car for those moments that flakes get loose.

Volunteer card.
ThankStock.

Volunteer cards

我喜欢在我身上保持一堆志愿者卡。这些卡具有NPF徽标,我的姓名,电子邮件,电话号码和志愿者标题。这些都很好,因为你永远不知道你什么时候可能会遇到另一个人的牛皮癣“征服者”或需要额外的支持或资源的父母。

阿司匹林。
ThankStock.

Aspirin

Thirty percent of people with psoriasis will develop psoriatic arthritis。如果你有三个会遇到这个问题的10人中,那么将一瓶阿司匹林掌握在全天可能遇到的任何疼痛或痛苦是良好的。务必与您的医生咨询阿司匹林以及它如何影响您可能正在服用的其他药物。永远不要超过瓶子上发现的推荐量。

一件夹克

There have been times where I decided to be bold and go without a jacket, showing my spots to the world. Sometimes I can do it comfortably and sometimes I can’t. It really depends on my mood, atmosphere, and comfort level. There have been times where I’ve suffered from anxiety attacks because I decided to bare it all but couldn’t take the attention. This is why I now keep a jacket handy.

Travel kit with toiletries.
ThankStock.

A zipped pouch

如果你带着钱包的一切,减去夹克将适合里面,但如果你是一个像我这样的人或一个不携带钱包的人,一个明确的拉链袋就足够了。您可以在美元商店或沃尔玛的超级便宜找到它们。将上面的所有物品放在里面并保留在汽车中的袋子。

阿里希桥

阿里希桥has dealt with psoriasis since 7 years old after a bad case of chicken pox triggered her disease to spread on over 90% of her body. For years she hid in shame afraid of what people would think of such a visible disease. She has suffered from depression, anxiety, and panic attacks due to psoriasis. Years ago Alisha wrote a letter entitled “My Suicide Letter.” The letter was not about actually killing herself but killing parts of her like low self-esteem, fear, and shame so she could truly live to her fullest potential. This proclamation catapulted her into psoriasis and patient advocacy. Following this letter she created a blog entitled Being Me In My Own Skin where she gives intimate details of what it’s like to live with psoriasis. Alisha is a community ambassador for the National Psoriasis Foundation and has served her community in countless ways to help give a better understanding of what’s it’s like to live with psoriasis. Her life motto is the following: “My purpose is to change the hearts of people by creating empathy and compassion for those the least understood through transparency of self, patient advocacy, and dermatology.” Alisha is also a Social Ambassador for the HealthCentral Skin Health Facebook page.
