Yeah, I know what you mean. I had an extremely bad case of poison ivy once when I was in grade school, I can still remember the look on the girl's face who wound up in my study group that day, it was the next best thing to just outright saying "what the hell's wrong with you, freak". It's a really uneasy feeling.

<<Well, appearance is not irrelevant: It can be depressing to see one's face looking like that first thing in the morning and to have people asking if you have something contagious. >>

I get a rash on my face, seborrhic dermatitus. Red patches. Being as I'm not around people much I didn't pay it much attention. Those days I didn't shave often either. One day I did shave ( which makes it worse) and went in to town. Close to Christmas and was real crowded. People were staring and kids pointing. I felt like spitting on them and telling them the would get it. Now I put on cortisone cream 3 times a week and it stays away.
