Awareness of Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease that has afflicted millions across the globe. The medical condition affects all age groups and genders. It has both physiological and psychological impacts, hence it is important to create awareness of Psoriasis to educate people on the symptoms and treatment. August is observed as Psoriasis awareness month every year. The National Psoriasis Foundation (NPF) recognized it early in October.

Causes

Psoriasis is an inflammatory immune system disease involving the skin and joints. It can also affect the fingernails, soft tissues, inside of the mouth, genitals, and toenails. Overactive T cells trigger the production of the skin cells leading to the condition. The excessive skin cells collect on the skin’s surface and form scaly patches. It could be hereditary but is not contagious. The other conditions associated with psoriasis include cardiovascular disease, depression, and diabetes.
