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.

@lindajennings231256 @GWGvanwyk @Cameron26 @Paulfan @McCaffs @Sarahbar @FrustratedSufferer @Inès_ra_uk198 @hela1-am @Barbsmay @teesquared @annemarieduncan @Pollyana @MrsMelSerag78 @Jemma7 @chris75last @Charball22 @JHitzi @UttAghjaDop @JoJo1982 @Kate03 @TYPICALRUBEN @Chris101 @HVID55 @Ambero @Bloodfairy60 @marian @DISMAS @Happychick46 @3three3 @Greggy @charlie83 @Kezzad

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,

@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.
