The National Psoriasis Foundation (NPF) sponsors Psoriasis Action Month, which is dedicated to raising awareness about psoriasis, educating the public and dispelling myths about the disease. Psoriasis is an immune-mediated disease that causes raised, red scaly patches to appear on the skin, affecting more than 8 million Americans. Up to 30 percent of people with psoriasis develop psoriatic arthritis, an inflammatory joint and tendon disease. |
