Introduction
Psoriasis is thought to affect 2 and 3% of the UK population, that is up to an estimated 1.8 million people1. It’s a complex and unique condition which affects each person in a different way. Psoriasis isn’t just a skin condition; it can affect people physically (how much skin is affected) and mentally (how they cope with the condition).
Even though there is no cure for psoriasis, it can be managed well with the right help and support so they can live well with their condition.
