I Have Schamberg's Disease

Embarassed to Wear Shorts

Written on February 4th, 2009

When I wear shorts or sandals, I'll be asked what is wrong with my legs. They have brown patches all over my legs, I don't want to wear shorts or sandals so I just suffer in the summertime.

    I just started showing symptoms and was diagnosed this past winter so I am heading into my first summer with Shamberg's. I absolutely refuse to worry about hiding my legs! If people ask I'll tell them. I they just wonder, well then they can wonder.

    Hi there!

    How about buying a powder foundation to disguise the spots? It wouldn't work if you were to jump into a pool, but when simply going outside, maybe it could help.



    I suggest L'Oreal Bare Naturale Mineral Powder .
