Having Psoriasis in Malaysia

By: Rocyie Wong 

I have been struggling with psoriasis for almost half of my life. Growing up with a skin disease in Asia is not an easy thing, especially in a Muslim country like Malaysia. Covering up with long sleeves and long pants is the norm, so it is really easy for those patches to stay hidden. Thus, this also explains why skin disease is not talked about widely over here. As a result, there is a lack of education, awareness and understanding about various skin conditions even though they are actually very common among us. This puts us, various skin condition fighters like myself, in a position where we struggle in silence for social acceptance. Exposing our skin comes with unpleasant stares and comments from strangers, which can end up being a traumatizing experience so we avoid that at all cost.

That’s when I discovered @getyourskinout and the whole psoriasis community on Instagram. It made me feel so relieved to know that I am not alone. However, I noticed that most of them were caucasians. I wanted to be the pioneer representative from Asian countries and that’s one of the reasons why I started Project Naked. It took me 3 years of mental preparation and every ounce of courage I had in me to start this personal project of mine. But once I crossed to the other side, I was so glad I did it. The sense of liberty and freedom I felt was out of this world and I hope that I am able to inspire many others to do the same. Through being transparent and sharing my journey, I wish to highlight the struggles of the psoriasis community to the world. Because as much as this condition can breaks us down, in many ways it is also the very reason why we have a story to tell. I want to tell the world that our struggles are worth celebrating and worth sharing.

    Ever since my husband got me divorced for the past 2 years, i v’e not been my self. I was reviewing some post of how i could get back my husband then, i saw a testimony shared by Marina Choas from SWEDEN about a spell caster named Dr. Okosun. I contacted Marina Chaos to confirm about how Dr. Okosun helped her and she clarified everything to me of how he helped her and that gave me the courage to get in touch with Dr. OKosun for help. Dr. Okosun assured me that my days of sorrows will be over within 48hours after he has finished with his work. I followed his instructions he gave to me because i had the believe, faith, hope and trust in him. Verily i say to you today that i and my husband are back together and i can proudly say and testify to the world of what Dr. Okosun did for me. Contact him today via E-mail:(Okosunspelltemple33 @ gmail . com call him or whatsapp him +2.3.4.8.0.5.4.3.3.8.1.3.2 if you seek his help.
