Psoriasis Action Month

Over 8 million people in this country and 125 million worldwide live with psoriasis, and every single one of you has your own unique story. Each August, we come together to honor and recognize each other during Psoriasis Action Month.

Everyone deserves to live their best and healthiest life, but if you're living with psoriasis, that can be easier said than done. Thriving with psoriasis requires total wellness. Total wellness means addressing all aspects of health and happiness. From the variety of ways that psoriasis manifests, to the effects on mental health and the power of community, to the comorbidities that impact those with psoriasis, including cardiovascular disease and managing excess weight.

This Psoriasis Action Month, explore ways to optimize your health with the right tools, information, and support to improve your health and happiness.
