DERMATOLOGIST
-
Let your dermatologist or primary care doctor know if you have feelings of anxiety or depression so they can direct you on how to get help
-
Ask whether your dermatologist can recommend a mental health specialist or support group for people with skin conditions to help you manage your emotions as you deal with GPP

LOVED ONES

It may be hard to open up to loved ones, but letting them know how GPP is affecting you (socially, physically, and emotionally) may help them better understand your needs and help them provide you with better support
