    Rectangle - AITA for leaving my "friends" wedding when she told me I needed to cover up my psoriasis? I (24F) have psoriasis, it's all over my body and presents like vitiligo in a way, just so you can get an image in your head. I have medicated cream that helps with the itchiness, and also it helps with the dryness. The psoriasis is all over my body with it stopping right on my neck, and I do have a few spots on the sides of my face near my ears.

    Font - I've always been pretty embarrassed as I cannot cake on enough makeup to truly cover my psoriasis as it is textured and thick, and on top of that, no matter what I do or however I attempt to apply said makeup it always looks horrible, my doctor also recommended not to smother the areas with makeup as it tends to make it worse and itchier.

    Font - Anyways, onto the story. My friend's wedding was on Saturday and of course, I was invited. I bought a dress that would cover my body fairly well as I really didn't want to draw any attention to myself. The entire week leading up to the wedding I was continuously testing concealers on the remaining spots that were exposed, which only made me itchy and I basically scratched my skin raw. With psoriasis, those areas sometimes bleed if I scratch too much, which is what happened.

    Font - My boyfriend who was attending the wedding with me told me I shouldn't worry about it and that it would be better if I stopped trying to cover them as it was just making it worse. I reluctantly agreed, and we attended the wedding ceremony. It was great, I was extremely happy for my friend and her now husband. But as we were leaving to go to cocktail hour, she pulled me aside and asked if I was going home to cover my psoriasis.

    Font - I was a little taken aback and explained I couldn't as the entire week I had been testing concealers and it made it 20 times worse. She told me she didn't care and that this was her wedding and she didn't want her guests asking me questions or feeling queasy during dinner.

    Font - My boyfriend stepped in and told her if that was the case we would be leaving and not attending the rest of the wedding. She was pissed off and extremely angry at that choice, and ever since then she's been ranting to our friends about it. AITA here?

    Font - Kassy_XOXO 7 hr. ago . NTA. That would be the day our friendship ended and her blocked on everything, don't want her to be "queasy" from having to see the psoriasis. Also any friends that agree with her, are no longer mutual friends either. 1.5k Reply Share

    Font - Wonderful-Target3072 OP 7 hr. ago All of my friends were texting me the entire night asking what happened and where I was, and I told them I'll tell them after the wedding cause I didn't want to ruin it, when I did get around to telling them they were disgusted by her actions. 1.3k Reply Share

    Font - Lost Special_9357 . 7 hr. ago. edited 7 hr. ago NTA it's not like you deliberately dyed your hair fluorescent pink, it's a disease and there isn't a lot you can do about it. Did she ask if the people on wheel chairs would be covering their chairs since she didn't want anyone asking question about it? Brides are going too far these days! 595 Reply Share

    Font - Professor Strawbs. 7 hr. ago NTA - I have eczema which can be pretty severe at times. If someone told me to cover it up because it made them queasy I'd said thank god you said that, your face is making me queasy so can you cover that up since we're being honest? And that would be the end of our friendship. Your BF sounds like a keeper. Keep doing you OP, you rock. 394 Reply Share
