NetWellness Spotlight:
Psoriasis Awareness Month
According to the National Psoriasis Foundation, 2.2% of American adults have psoriasis (pronounced sore-EYE-ah-sis), which is a non-contagious skin disease that causes raised, red patches of skin and scales, which are buildups of dead skin cells. By promoting awareness of psoriasis, we can understand how psoriasis affects those who have the condition and help the push to find a cure for this disease.
