    I've got psoriasis all over my legs and when I shave them it looks like a blood bath as it tears at the psoriasis lesions :( going abroad on holiday Monday for few weeks and don't know how I'm gonna be hair free. Any ideas? I'd worry that waxing would irritate my psoriasis.

    Hi lukesmom

    I am absolutely no expert, I get psoriasis on my arms mainly especially when I am stressed. My friend gets it on her legs and she uses her fathers electric razor and she also uses Intuition razors, because the razor is hidden behind the soapy stuff good. I find using hair conditioner better than any shaving cream. Hope you have a great holiday!!

    Hi thanks for your reply, I ended up buying a Ladyshaver in argos for just €3.99 in the sale and used it on my legs. No cuts so I'm very happy with it.
