World Psoriasis Day
October 29 · Level 2 · #1804 of 2238

World Psoriasis Day draws attention to people living with psoriasis and the challenges others may never see. Better access to care is a central theme, alongside emotional support and tackling the prejudice that can make daily life harder.
How it is celebrated: patient organisations lead awareness campaigns, host conversations with clinicians and share personal stories. Advocates also call for healthcare that responds to the needs of people with psoriasis.
Psoriasis cannot spread through a handshake or a hug. It is not contagious—a small piece of knowledge that can make a big difference to how someone is treated.
