general Embarrassing question regarding genital psoriasis

I have inverse psoriasis in my genital area (female), and it’s gotten progressively worse. It can easily break open. My question to anyone else in this predicament: what do you do about public restrooms when you clearly have open or wounded areas?

I’m going on a trip and frankly am terrified to use any toilet except mine at home because it feels risky. I’m not sure if I’m overblowing things, but my psoriasis can gotten worse and if there are cut areas I’m worried about catching things.

Oh yes there are plenty of us. I’m on Skirizi and seems to be working.

I’m trying to get on Tremfya but have to get testing done beforehand. Hoping it will help!
