I am a 26-year-old wife and mother of two. I may be young but I have a well-rounded variety of life experiences. Some of that includes dealing with blended families, in-laws, parenting, and strange dreams. There are other topics I have a broad base of knowledge in and I will typically lean towards those more than others. They happen to be my favorite categories.
If you ask a question, the typical response time is within 24 hours.

Well, I do have to admit I am not too awful familiar with your condition. However, I want to help you, so I spent all morning researching the condition. The most helpful things I have discovered have been found on the page below (copy & paste to your browser bar)

Let me tell you a quick story. I knew a lady in school for many years. She had a skin condition that caused her to look as if she was perpetually sunburned. It was very painful and she missed a lot of school for treatments (that were necessary). Nobody made a big deal of it, because she didn't make it an issue. The first and only time I ever heard somebody question her ("Gross, what happened to your skin?") she snorted and replied "Ugh, the same thing that happened to your good manners."
The important thing is not to let it embarrass you. Those who choose to look at you and be offended should be put back in their place, really. For those special occasions that you speak of, go ahead and dress to the nines darlin'. I am positive that everybody at those events will be focused more on the event and the wonderful outfits before they even look at your skin. The rash does not define who you are, it is just something that happened to you. You are not less of a person or less worthy of respect and kindness because you have this.
