'I thought you had to be pretty to work here': Cruel taunts by strangers spurs on psoriasis sufferer to share make-up free photos of her itchy skin condition

Former shop assistant Judith Duncan, 23, from Invercylde, was diagnosed with the long-lasting autoimmune disease almost three years ago. 


She developed the itchy red skin condition on her face when she was writing her dissertation (left). When she was working as a shop assistant, a customer made cruel comments. But rather than hide it, she say it is now 'part of her' and chooses to go make-up free. She has become an ambassador for people with the condition by writing about it on her blog and is now writing for a Danish skincare brand as well as a UK-based pharmaceutical company. She said: 'Many people are ashamed or embarrassed by their psoriasis, especially if it is visible. I want to put a stop to that.'
