Need Advice On Shaving My Plaque Psoriasis

A MyPsoriasisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Elgin, UK

This question may sound stupid but was wondering if anyone has advice on shaving my legs they are covered is psoriasis and its impossible to shave as I always end up making my skin worse I'm also too scared to try hair removal cream in case it causes my skin to inflame more that what it is. Any help appreciated tia

I used hair removal this year no damage or reaction to skin it worked.

I've used hair removal cream on my legs instead of shaving, and I didn't notice that it led to any flare ups and didn't make it worse. I was also quite worried about using it but I kept cutting my psoriasis and getting infections when shaving so tried it! On a side note I've also been using magnesium flakes in my bath and have noticed an improvement in my skin - less flakes, less red and smoother (and also easier to shave!) hope that helps x

I use a small pair of scissors and snip away ! BTW.... isn't it strange how all those hairs make it through the plaques ???

I use a electric shaver on my legs. It's good. I have tried hair removal creams they make it worse. On any part of my body.
