The mission of the National Psoriasis Foundation is to drive efforts to cure psoriatic disease and improve the lives of those affected.

Over 8 million people in the U.S. have psoriasis. Nearly a third of them will develop psoriatic arthritis. A world without psoriatic disease and the related burdens is possible. We won't stop until you have the cure you deserve. 

Psoriasis Action Month

Each August, we come together to honor and recognize the unique stories of the psoriatic disease community, including yours! Join in by registering for a Take ACTION event near you, sharing your story on Instagram, or requesting your free e-kit.

James Song, Director of Clinical Research at Frontier Dermatology and Clinical Instructor at the University of Washington.
