Story

Psoriasis an immune condition, which causes symptoms on the skin and sometimes thejoints. When a person has psoriasis, their skin replacement process speeds up,taking just a few days to replace skin cells that usually take 21-28 days. This accumulation of skin cells builds up to form raised ‘plaques’ on the skin,which can also be flaky, scaly, red on caucasian skin, darker patches on darkernskin tones, and itchy. Psoriasis can occur on any area of the body, including the scalp, hands, feet and genitals, although different types tend to occur ondifferent areas.The current thinking is that psoriasis affects between 2% and 3% of the UK population - up to 1.8 million people - although this is an estimate. It affects males and females equally. The Psoriasis Association was founded back in 1968, and its three main objectives are: supporting people with psoriasis, raising awareness of psoriasis and researching psoriasis. 

UCB Pharma Dermatology Team are delighted to celebrate World Psoriasis Day on 29thOctober 2019 and to support the great work that the Psoriasis Association does. In addition all monies raised will be matched by UCB Pharma.
