Ashling Armstrong says she gets people staring 'everyday' at her skin.
A nurse claims a mild sore throat is thought to have left her with 'leopard print' skin. Ashling Armstrong said she first noticed red marks on her chest in January that she initially thought could be acne but within a week they spread across her entire body.
"So I understand people staring and probably thinking 'oh God, what's happened to her? Is she a burns victim or something?' I've thought like that as well. At the beginning it made me very angry and a wee bit insecure and second-guess what I was wearing. "It was very mild at this point. I went to the doctors and they diagnosed me with Guttate psoriasis, which got me down a lot. I would say I'm a very confident person around the right people and in front of people I don't know I wouldn't really be as much, it did take a toll on me.
"I asked my friend if I should put up a post and she was like 'yes go for it, what's the worst that can happen? If anybody says anything it says a lot more about them to be honest'. I posted it and it's literally the best thing I've ever done in my life. I feel so amazing about it.
