Even though psoriasis can seem like an isolating disease, it’s comforting to know there are more than 125 million other people around the world who have it too. And you know what they say, there is strength in numbers.

World Psoriasis Day (Tuesday, Oct. 29) is the day we unite as a global community to:

  • Fight prejudice, stigmatization and discrimination;

  • Raise awareness, understanding and hope; and

  • Gain access to proper diagnosis, treatment and an improved quality of life.

Take the World Psoriasis Day Pledge and make your voice heard!

Throughout the month of October, we launched our special Psoriasis Around the World series, which shared stories of people living with psoriatic disease on every inhabitable continent.
