World Psoriasis Day

Wednesday, October 29, 2025, is World Psoriasis Day, where we come together to honor and recognize the 125 million people worldwide who face life with the challenges and frustrations of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (PsA).

Joint pain, visible skin symptoms, and the relentless itching and burning sensations are more than enough – but to make matters worse, psoriatic disease comes with a number of unwelcome health issues.

No one should have to worry about heart disease, psoriatic arthritis, or type 2 diabetes, but it’s an unfortunate reality we face each day. Fortunately, NPF has the tools to help you manage your psoriasis and any related diseases. As part of our united global community, you never have to face it alone.
