SUMMARY:National Psoriasis Awareness
DESCRIPTION:August is recognized as Psoriasis Awareness (or Psoriasis Action) Month, an observance dedicated to educating the public about this chronic autoimmune skin condition. Psoriasis affects millions worldwide, causing itchy, painful patches of inflamed skin and impacting mental and emotional well-being. This month amplifies education, research, and advocacy for better treatment options and support systems.\nThree Facts:\n\nPsoriasis affects about 3% of the adult population, or over 125 million people globally.\nPsoriasis is an autoimmune disease—not just a skin condition—and is often linked to other serious health issues like arthritis, heart disease, and depression.\nThere are 5 types of psoriasis, with plaque psoriasis being the most common. Treatment options include topical therapies, biologics, light therapy, and lifestyle changes.\n\nHow to Take Action:\nShare educational materials about psoriasis origins, symptoms, and co-occurring conditions using #PsoriasisAwarenessMonth.\nSupport research for enhanced treatments by donating to organizations like the National Psoriasis Foundation.\nIf you or someone you know is living with psoriasis, explore mindfulness and stress-management practices, as stress often triggers flare-ups.\nThree Resources:\n\nNational Psoriasis Foundation – Comprehensive resources for psoriasis awareness, research, and support.\nMayo Clinic – Psoriasis – Information on psoriasis symptoms, treatments, and lifestyle tips.\nAmerican Academy of Dermatology (AAD) – Details on psoriasis care and treatment.\n\n \n
