Laura is struggling with mild psoriasis

Laura dreams of becoming a flight attendant. “I think it would be amazing to fly all over the world, to sleep in fancy hotels, to meet different people on the plane, and ofcourse to wear a stylish outfit.” Laura loves flying, is a hard worker, and has a lot of determination to achieve her goals. “But I’m afraid that my psoriasis will interfere with my goals.”

The challenge

The someday flight attendant has the skin disease psoriasis. This causes discomfort in her life in various ways. “Psoriasis causes redness, skin flaking, itching, and sometimes pain. And this gets worse when I wear tight clothes.” Besides physical complaints such as itching and sometimes pain, Laura experiences psychological effects as a major consequence of this disease. “I am ashamed of the ugly marks on my body and prefer to wear covered clothes with long sleeves. Wearing the flight attendant outfit would make my spots visible and irritate my skin even more.”

“I have tried to treat my skin condition with traditional ointments, but I find them all very greasy and uncomfortable. This, combined with wearing the mandatory (although stylish) clothes, makes working as a flight attendant not very appealing to me, although I would really like to. I tried all kinds of ointments, but usually, psoriasis only got worse.

The solution

To help to achieve her dreams, Fagron offers products that are not greasy or uncomfortable. Her dermatologist knows the right recipe to guarantee Laura maximum comfort and results. The solution to her problem is Occluvan™, a Fagron Advanced Derma Vehicle. This product provides an innovative ointment base with minimal stickiness. “The ointment reduces my itching, redness of the skin, and makes my skin smoother. Because the cream is not too greasy, I can wear clothes without getting all sticky.” This elegant ointment gives a comfortable feeling on the skin, allowing her to control her symptoms, and feel good about herself and her body.

With this feeling, she starts her interview for the job as a flight attendant. And with success, Laura is currently flying around the world. “I have spent the last five days in Shanghai, last week in Dubai, and Chicago is already on the schedule. I am helping all kinds of people, and all that while wearing my stylish outfit, with comfort, and without the irritating side effects of psoriasis. I am very happy at the moment.”
