Today is , and we’re shining a light on generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP), a rare and severe form of psoriasis that can cause sudden, widespread flares, painful pustules, and serious complications.

If you're living with GPP, you are not alone — there is support, community, and trusted resources available to you.

Psoriasis is chronic. So why are so many treatment plans short-term?

In a recent national survey, 3 in 4 adults with psoriasis said their psoriasis care care focuses on taming flares, not preventing them. And most report concerns about long-term topical steroid use.

It’s time to talk about sustainable disease management. Head to our website to learn more about the survey results and how to advocate for a plan built for the long haul. 🔗psoriasis.org/advance/sustainable-treatment-solutions/

For people living with psoriasis, earlier identification of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) could mean preventing permanent joint damage before it begins.

Thanks to donor support, the National Psoriasis Foundation has helped drive major breakthroughs in psoriatic arthritis diagnosis, and we’re getting closer to earlier detection and prevention.

In just six years, our PsA Diagnostic Test Grant:
🔬 Advanced a potential multi-omic diagnostic test
🧬 Discovered new immune cells linked to joint inflammation
⏳ Progressed efforts to reduce time to diagnosis
💰 Turned $3.15M into $10.7M in additional research funding

We are accelerating earlier detection. We are reducing time to diagnosis.
We are reshaping how the medical community understands psoriasis progression to PsA.
