World Psoriasis Day aims to educate people about Psoriasis, a common and misunderstood autoimmune skin condition that is often wrongly perceived as contagious.
- Psoriasis affects millions globally, yet widespread misconceptions persist, including the false belief that it is a contagious skin condition.
- Dermatology experts emphasize that Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease, not related to personal hygiene or skin issues, requiring greater public understanding and empathy.
- On World Psoriasis Day, advocacy groups stress the importance of awareness, highlighting the need for improved resources and support for individuals living with Psoriasis.
Why It Matters
Psoriasis significantly impacts quality of life for millions, and dispelling myths surrounding this skin condition is essential for fostering empathy and ensuring better healthcare support in dermatology.
