Pretend it's snowing

Today, marks the third girlfriend in a row that has broken up with me for my terrible dandruff. I can't control it as I was born with psoriasis. All three girls called me pathetic for "making up" a disease to try to get them to stay. FML

If they aren't going to accept you just because of something you were born with, and then accuse you of lying about it, you're better off without them. Chin up OP, you'll find better.

If you see a dermatologist they can hopefully gibe you medicine to help control the condition. In the meantime, I recommend using Neutrogena T/Gel, they have a specific one that caters to helping with psoriasis!

Well... If they didn't know the word, wasn't it a good thing they left? Anyhow go see a psychologist, psoriasis is most the time related to the mind than the body.

So you've avoided relationships with brain-dead bimbos. I fail to see the problem here.

Their reactions are awful, but... It also depends on how much effort you put into dealing with it. I feel awful for saying so, but some people with "problems" just use them as an excuse not to do anything about it. If you've actually tried to control it and it didn't work, then it sucks. But if you haven't, I can sort of understand their frustration, even if they are still uneducated and bitchy. There are a lot of products for both psoriasis and dandruff (don't know if regular dandruff stuff would help, but maybe?), and a different cut might help so that it at leasts shows less. A short cut would probably at least make it easier to run your fingers through your hair at midday to shake out the dandruff.

Don't fret OP; you deserve and will find better. :)

Try Head and Shoulders Anti-Dandruff. My brother has it too and it helps it. maybe it would help you too?

So, hold up. They're willing to date you originally despite your dandruff, but wont stay with you because of it?

I take stelara for my psoriasis. I almost have clear skin!!

I have psoriasis myself, there's a shampoo called Polytar that helped mine calm down but I found that Selsun Shampoo completely cleared it up for me. Now, bar the odd flare up or off day, it's gone ☺️ if yours is extremely bad there are antibiotics that help ☺️ that is, if it's on your scalp, Hydro-Cortisone helps the sores on the skin a lot

Be aware that hydracortisone is a steroid cream, so only use it in very small amounts on only the affected areas and only for a short time.

You're better off without them if they're that stupid.

You should probably be more upfront about your condition before you enter into a relationship from now on. Explain the condition on like the 1st or 2nd date or so before it gets serious. Let them decide. Will save you the heartache of a breakup.
