AIR HOSTESS COMPARED TO BURNS VICTIM AFTER SEVERE PSORIASIS FLARE UP SHOWCASES CLEAR SKIN AFTER SWITCHING DIET WITH PIX By Lucy Notarantonio An air hostess who was mistaken for a burns victim due to her severe psoriasis has showcased her clear skin after changing her diet. Georgia Robinson says she was ‘covered head to toe’ with a red, flaky rash that first appeared just three year ago. The 25-year-old faced rude comments and stares on a daily basis but after ditching dairy and red meat last month [October], Georgia's skin cleared completely. She now advocates body positivity on social media as she openly shares her mental health struggles that stemmed from psoriasis. Georgia from Birmingham, West Mids said: “My hands and legs were always the worst and it looked like red strawberries had been thrown at me and left stains. “It started to ruin my life and really take its toll on me, I lost so much confidence and everything began to go downhill. “I was constantly being asked ‘what’s happened to your skin?’ or ‘is it contagious?’ and ‘why are you covered in bites?’ “But the worse was when someone asked if I had been in a fire, I can’t even describe how hurt I felt. “Eventually I quit my job as an air hostess because my mental health began to decline, and I was severely self-conscious. “It even got to the point where I would have suicidal thoughts because I felt so low. “I used to think people would judge me differently and I would never meet someone. “I am lucky enough to have amazing friends and family who helped me embrace my body and I now refuse to let my skin hold me back.” Georgia stopped eating red meat and dairy products in October this year and says her skin has never looked better. She is yet to find the ‘perfect cream’ but uses Xpel body care - olive oil cream two or three times a day which costs £5. She recently posted before and after photographs to her Instagram which boasts 11k followers in a bid to raise awareness of psoriasis. She adds: “I strongly believe my skin has improved because of my diet and I’m much more healthier now. “It isn’t not easy, but it seems to be working for me! “I shared the post on Instagram because I believe there’s not enough awareness regarding psoriasis, I didn’t know what it was either until I had it. “It started as tiny little dots on my elbow, barely even noticeable but within the space of a few months I was covered from head to toe and it became a serious problem. “I want people to hear my story and to be kinder to others. “Psoriasis varies greatly from person to person; for some it's just a minor irritation, but for others it can majorly affect their quality of life. “I used to let it get me down and I never wanted to leave my bedroom but now I have embraced it and won’t let it stop me from doing anything. “I worked in Ibiza during the summer and was constantly in a bikini which came along with plenty of looks, stares and nasty comments unfortunately and it wasn’t easy. “I honestly think the less you worry about it easier said than done and the more you look after yourself it will go away!
