I am still really self conscious when people stare at my "spots." How do continue to feel good/look good when others are looking intently at you ? Does anyone else feel the same shyness?

Hi @upanddown

How are you doing today?

I am sorry to hear that you are still facing "stares" from the general public. Let's see what other members to do stay upbeat and un-bothered by on-lookers.

How do you deal with your plaques? Do you cover them up? What about when you're by the sea? Does it still bother you?

What advice can you give @upanddown ?

Take care,

Lizzi from the Carenity team

@LizziB I hate it, I wear long sleeves in the summer so people don't look at my spots. I don't think I'll ever be someone who just doesn't care. It is too ugly.
