A girl with a skin disease showed photos of her body without retouching and delighted subscribers. The Daily Star journalists drew attention to her Instagram posts.
According to the publication, Claire Spurgin was diagnosed with psoriasis in 2017: it was provoked by a sunburn in the shoulder area. The disease began to spread throughout the body of the heroine of the material, and after many years of hiding her condition of her skin, the heroine of the material accepted her appearance and began sharing her photos on social networks.
The 24-year-old blogger, to whom almost 34 thousand people have subscribed, captured herself with her hair down in a red set of underwear. The footage shows that her face, decollete area, arms, stomach, buttocks and thighs are covered with spots.
“The point is not to show you half-naked. Here we are talking about demonstrating unique markings on my skin to show that it’s real to live with it,” Spurgin signed the post, which gained more than four thousand likes.
Readers of the blogger were inspired by the pictures and began to thank her for her honesty in the comments. “Your page helped me a lot to accept my own body with psoriasis. Thank you”, “You are unique, and that’s fine. Thank you for being real”, “I have been suffering from psoriasis for 41 years, and I am very pleased to see young people like you, proud of who you are. True inspiration”, “You are beautiful and strong,” they said.
Earlier in October, a woman with a skin condition spoke about being bullied because of her “disgusting” appearance. According to 29-year-old Kirsty Jennings, who suffers from psoriasis, strangers often criticized her appearance because of the affected areas of skin all over her body and face. The heroine of the material first discovered the problem at the age of 17 in the elbow area.
