| Severe psoriasis |
If you don't have it yourself, you might not think skin disorders could be disabling but they sure can be. You really, really don't want to have a skin disorder that bad.
Here's some of the types of severe skin disorders which, if they don't respond to treatment, can be disabling:
- Hidradenitis suppurtiva -- I bet you've never heard of this one even if you've got it. It causes severe, recurrent, highly painful boils in the private areas. Many people with hidradenitis suppurtiva don't even realize they have a skin problem. They think it's a series of infections that must be treated surgically. Wrong. See a dermatologist.
- Psoriasis -- A common skin problem which can usually be treated well enough to allow a person to get on with their life but sometimes psoriasis doesn't respond so well to treatment and covers a big portion of a person's body.
- Eczema -- Dry, itchy skin that can swell and crack. Most of the time it can be controlled with medication. Can you imagine that eczema can lead to blindness?
- Bullous disorders -- They cause fragile skin that blisters and tears easily.

I think a lot of skin disorders (that are moderate to severe) more are a "pile on" type symptom of disability rather than a disability itself (with exceptions of course). My disability CAUSES skin issues. So it's counted.
