Skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema can affect individuals self image and how people look at individuals that have these chronic skin conditions, which will require constant management. I think it very interesting to look at it, as it affects children as well as adults, and can shape how individuals look at themselves while they grow up. Which can have both a physical and psychological impact on those who are affected.
