Psoriasis Awareness Month

 

Psoriasis Awareness Month take place throughout August. Celebrated annually, this month is dedicated to raising awareness about psoriasis, a chronic autoimmune condition that affects the skin. The aim is to educate the public, support those living with psoriasis, and promote research into better treatments and potential cures.

 

Psoriasis Awareness Month is organised by various health organisations and advocacy groups to highlight the impact of psoriasis on millions of people worldwide. Psoriasis causes the rapid build-up of skin cells, leading to scaling on the skin’s surface. Common symptoms include red patches, itching, and discomfort. It can significantly affect the quality of life, leading to physical, emotional, and social challenges for those affected.

 

During Psoriasis Awareness Month, a variety of activities and events are held to spread knowledge and support for those living with the condition. These include educational seminars, support group meetings, fundraising events, and public awareness campaigns. The goal is to increase understanding of psoriasis, reduce stigma, and encourage those with the condition to seek treatment and support.
