Olivia Bowen shares snaps of psoriasis as she tells how condition has improved – OK! magazine

Olivia Bowen has shared before and after snaps of her psoriasis in a candid Instagram post.

The Love Island star, 27, was diagnosed with the skin condition when she was 17.

In her post she proudly revealed the patches across her stomach and chest have improved thanks to prescription cream.

In her post, the excited reality TV star, wrote: "Progress!!! Last week they were sooo raised, angry, red & itchy [sic].

"A week on and they're becoming lighter & less angry! I went to the doctors & was prescribed cream So fingers crossed!"

Alex Bowen's wife also shared a snap of the current state of her abs.

Updating fans who are unaware of her condition, she explained: "A few of you catching up, this is called guttate psoriasis.

"I have had it a couple times before, I've had it like this (all over my body head to toe] once before when I was 17. It usually stays with me around 3/4 months. Some days it's horrible & painful & makes me feel terribly insecure.

"Other days I pick myself up & remind myself there are many many things worse than a wee skin condition, and that's what I hold onto! It's just skin, who I am is important [sic]."

She also shared that she wouldn't be revealing the name of her prescription cream.

Olivia added: "It is prescribed & very strong so it would be irresponsible for me to suggest out to everyone & anyone.

"All I can say is definitely definitely contact your doctors and go throughout them. It really is worth it, it's not embarrassing, it'll help [sic]."

Last month Olivia reached out on social media to ask her followers to help her find a sun bed which she says will stop her psoriasis from spreading all over her body.

The Love Island star asked her fans for recommendations for UVB light sun beds as she revealed using them was the only thing that helped her psoriasis when she was a teenager.
