IF someone has a psoriasis outbreak it's always better to tell the lady in advance. I have the same condition as well so I always tell anyone who is working near an outbreak about my condition so they don't treat the area to rough or freak out when they see it. I always tell manicurist and massage therapist about my condition beforehand.I understand the Psoriasis situation.. but see above, puss is filled with bacteria. Bacteria that can be Staph in nature and can be spread. I personally will not work on someone who has an outbreak like that.
And everyone condition won't look the same, some psoarsis is red and swollen, or swollen, or just large bumps that fill with puss.
And sadly it's not as simple as rubbing a cream or popping a pill because treatments can take months to work and even after that you still may be left with scarring.
I wouldn't need anyone to turn up with a doctors note as long as they are considerate to let me know before hand.
But if you think you have something that may spread, I think you're a douchebag if you try to have sex with anyone if you have a contagious infection around your groin. Originally Posted by SkylarCruzWantsYou

Again, sorry if this offends anyone who suffers from these conditions. I would rather play it safe. I do hope everyone understands.

Here are the various acute images of Psoriasis: Link to picture 1 Link to picture 2 Link to picture 3
Again, I am not trying to stigmatize Psoriasis sufferers, but I am drawing a boundary line on what I am willing to do and who I am willing to see. The two gentleman who I originally indicated that came to see me, one was really bad and indicated that it was jock itch. The second guy had a really bad outbreak with small pustules and claimed he had an allergic reaction to something. Some guys will say anything to ladies like us in our line of work because they do not care about our health, and all they care about is who they can con into seeing them when they know full well they have something that could be contagious.
