August is Psoriasis Awareness Month. Psoriasis is more than a skin condition. It's a chronic autoimmune disease that can affect physical comfort, emotional wellbeing, and quality of life. While symptoms may come and go, early diagnosis and ongoing care can help people manage flare-ups and live well.
One of the most common misconceptions about psoriasis is that it's contagious. It isn't. Greater awareness helps reduce stigma and encourages compassion for those living with the condition.
If you're experiencing persistent skin changes, talk with your provider about an evaluation.
