[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would call and ask if they would recommend a specific type of massage — or recommend against a specific treatment— for someone with psoriasis, and let them take it from there.   That way they can assign someone who’s comfortable with it, or even recommend a different type of treatment if, say, the massage oils might be potentially irritating.  I probably wouldn’t ask about a robe, but would expect the. To have a range of sizes. Maybe you could take one of your own with you as a backup option?

I hope they have a range of sizes and would see me and grab the appropriate one? So it's not a big deal when we get there or they give me a too small one and I have to swap it out. Ugh I just realized I'll need to change in front of everyone in the locker room.

For facials do you keep your clothes on at these resorts?? Any treatments I wouldn't need a robe for?[/quote]

Most places I’ve been, it’s “do whatever you’re comfortable with” as far as clothing (within reason). Obviously you’re not going to be able to stay in a robe during a typical massage, or body wrap. However, you should be fine to do so for a facial, manicure, or pedicure. Also many places I’ve been to offer what is billed as a Thai style massage which incorporates a lot of stretching/guided yoga etc. so you’re instructed to wear yoga/loungewear type items for those because you’ll be on a mat on a floor for much of it.

Also, second what everyone else says about calling to ask. You can even ask if the products they use in the various treatments are psoriasis-friendly (I don’t suffer myself so not sure if this is a thing but if so it’s certainly a valid inquiry).[/quote]

Thank you for this. Unfortunately they don't offer any massage like that but I will call to ask. Funny enough I'm not worried about me or the lotions. I don't want the massauese to be horrified or anything. Or think it's contagious. I want to be fair to this person [/quote]
