Title | Friend of Honor |
Brief | In these two films, psoriasis sufferers try to convince themselves that they’re better off hiding their skin condition. A man goes to the pool early so he can swim without anyone seeing him. A woman refuses to be maid of honour at her best friend’s wedding so she doesn’t have to wear a skin-revealing outfit. But as they reflect, they also realise they’re missing out. The man can’t swim with his little boy. The woman can’t be there for her friend. Instead of living a smaller life, get treatment for psoriasis from Stelara. |
