Largest global psoriasis survey shows 84% of people face discrimination and humiliation because of their skin

https://www.novartis.com/news/media-releases/largest-global-psoriasis-survey-shows-84-people-face-discrimination-and

Along with unacceptable levels of discrimination and humiliation, the survey shows that nearly half (45%) of people with psoriasis have been asked if they are contagious[1]. The devastating effect psoriasis can have on personal lives and people's mental health was also revealed, with the survey showing 16% of people admit to hiding themselves away from the world as a coping mechanism[1]. This lack of hope and self-esteem is reflected in the results, with 55% of people stating they do not believe clear or almost clear skin is a realistic goal for them[1].


Vanity isn't the issue.

Aside from the company needing good Prurisol ph2b psoriasis trial results, I hope we get good results for the patient population.

Are you saying psoriasis sufferers are vain? That is an odd comment to make.
