Is it normal would you date someone with a skin condition?

I recently developed a temperamental skin condition that is fine most of the time but every so often it flares and I get red blotches all over my face (a couple of times a month) and some on my torso.

I'm dating the first girl since I developed it but she hasn't seen me with the blotches yet and I'm quite concerned, even though she's a nice girl, that she will be put off by it.

She always calls me sweet, nice, cute etc but still I'm very self-conscious when I have it and tend to avoid seeing her. Am I crazy or should I cautious until I know she really likes me?

    Its no biggie. Just let her know. If she can't accept something so minor and out of your control, then she's a butthead :) but women tend to be pretty understanding and accepting (when we're not being raging hormonal beeotches )

    Just be honest with her. Tell her in advance. And then let her be part of your life while you're suffering flares. You'd be surprised how accepting people can be. And hopefully she'll appreciate you being honest with her, rather than hiding it and it being sprung on her.

    Tell her, you may just get some ointment rubbing sexy action the next time it occurs.

    Beauty is only skin deep (LOL sorry)
    On a serious note, it probably doesn't look half as bad as you think and if she ends it with you because you have a few blotches you have to ask yourself is she really worth it?

    Yeah just be honest with her. That is not a deal breaker. I would have greatly appriciated my ex bf sharing the fact that he had erectile dysfunction with me instead of it being a lovely surprise. Hey those red blotches sound pretty good right now. lol
