It is an international campaign that aims to educate and raise attention to this chronic disease. It is a day dedicated to the millions of people who suffer from Psoriasis. In 2018,\u00a0it was estimated that <strong>125 million\u00a0<\/strong>people suffered from it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Psoriasis causes\u00a0<strong>inflammation,<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>skin<\/strong> <strong>redness <\/strong>and<strong> scaly skin<\/strong>, which can lead to itchiness and pain. This happens because new skin cells are produced at a faster rate than normal. Normally, psoriasis appears on the knees, elbows, and scalp, but it can emerge in any other place. This disease is <strong>cyclical<\/strong>, which means it comes and goes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are different\u00a0<strong>types<\/strong>\u00a0of psoriasis. The plaque psoriasis is the most common. There is <strong>no cure<\/strong> for this disease, there are only treatments that help control the symptoms. Certain foods, such as green leafy vegetables, spices\/herbs, and fruits can also help in controlling it. Losing weight can also decrease psoriasis symptoms. It is still\u00a0<strong>unsure<\/strong>\u00a0what exactly\u00a0<strong>causes\u00a0<\/strong>psoriasis, but it is known that genetics, previous cases of a skin infection, stress, medication, and obesity can have some influence on it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Psoriasis has different levels, it can be\u00a0<strong>mild, moderate or severe<\/strong>. It all depends on the extent of area affected and how it impacts the patient\u2019s life. Moderate or severe psoriasis can lead to <strong>other problems<\/strong>. Both can increase the risk of developing psoriasis arthritis, a condition that causes joint pain and can damage them. Psoriasis can also lead to the development of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases.\u00a0Research from the American Journal of Clinical Dermatology in 2017, concluded that severe psoriasis affects more men than women.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Psoriasis\u2019 <strong>symptoms <\/strong>can be very visible on the skin, which can affect <strong>self-esteem<\/strong>, <strong>body image <\/strong>and lead to <strong>emotional problems<\/strong>. Many patients who have the disease also suffer from anxiety or even depression due to it. A study conducted by Ersin Aydin\u00a0from 2016 confirmed this tendency. It\u00a0showed that patients with psoriasis suffer more from low self-esteem and high levels of anger.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are <strong>conducts<\/strong> we can adopt to support people with psoriasis and help psoriasis associations, just like spreading information about the disease, organising events to support and raise awareness about it or even get in touch with associations to understand which activities will take place on Wold Psoriasis Day.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><u>References: <\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Psoriasis, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/psoriasis\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20355840\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mayo Clinic<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">WORLD PSORIASIS DAY, <a href=\"https:\/\/ifpa-pso.com\/our-actions\/world-psoriasis-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">International Federation of Psoriasis Associations<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Psoriasis,<a href=\"https:\/\/patient.info\/skin-conditions\/psoriasis-leaflet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Patient<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":20530,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_editorskit_title_hidden":false,"_editorskit_reading_time":0,"_editorskit_is_block_options_detached":false,"_editorskit_block_options_position":"{}","myguten_meta_block_field":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[98],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20529","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20529","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20529"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20529\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20530"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20529"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20529"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20529"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
