💙August is Psoriasis Awareness Month
Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated disease that affects over 1 million Canadians. It can impact your skin, joints (psoriatic arthritis), mental health and quality of life.
Common symptoms include:
🔹 Red, scaly, inflamed patches of skin
🔹 Itching, burning, or soreness
🔹 Nail changes like pitting or discolouration
🔹 Fatigue and joint pain
While there is no cure, effective treatments are available, from topical therapies and phototherapy to biologic medications.
Together, we can break the stigma, spread understanding, and empower those living with psoriasis—this month and every month. 💙
