World Psoriasis Day begins
29 Oct 2009
Today (October 29th) is World Psoriasis Day, a global event that aims to highlight how difficult it can be living with the skin disease.
Conceived by patients for patients, it brings together the International Federation of Psoriasis Associations and a number of member groups across the globe, all of which are putting pressure on the World Health Organization to develop means to improve the lives of the millions of psoriasis patients.
Psoriasis is now considered a potentially severe inflammatory disorder and can have serious social, psychological and physical health implications for people suffering from the disease.
The organisers of today's event want psoriasis to be recognised as a disabling disease and treated accordingly.
"A few years ago we didn't talk about co-morbidities at all," explained Professor Jorg Prinz, of the University of Munich's department of dermatology, Germany.
"We need a greater acceptance of psoriasis as a severe and complex disease, which calls for new coordinated approaches in the health care system."
Psoriasis is a non-contagious genetic skin disease and is linked to the body's immune system.
