This Woman's Powerful Pics Show The Difficulties Of Having Psoriasis

Ciena Rae Nelson has psoriasis. Lots of females, and some men, suffer from various forms of the skin disease, but many people assume it’s just an appearance issue.

According to Ciena, the condition can cause quite a bit of pain.

She posted this photo to Instagram to display the transformation she has to go through. The Pic on the left is her with makeup, the one on the right has been edited to have higher saturation to create more contrast with the photo on the left.

She also posted this photo:

One of the most striking things (at least in our opinion) that she mentions is the social anxiety. It’s something many people may not even consider, the fact that someone like Ciena feels the need to cover up with makeup in order to feel “normal.”

“a feeling of being trapped in your own skin”

If you are experiencing psoriasis, or know someone who is, Ciena says it’s important to hydrate, eat healthy, and pretty much take care of yourself!!

And also, don’t feel bad! It’s an invisible disease that you don’t have a whole lot of control over, and we personally think Ciena is a smoking hot babe with or without makeup!
