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 Action 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.
