World Psoriasis Day

Every year on October 29, we are invited to look beyond the skin and see the whole person. World Psoriasis Day unites patients, families, and healthcare professionals in more than 70 countries. Together they raise awareness of psoriatic disease and call for better care for everyone who lives with it.

3 ways to celebrate

AT HOME

Learn the facts, lose the myths

Read up on psoriasis from trusted sources like IFPA or the National Psoriasis Foundation, starting with the most important fact: it is not contagious. Understanding the condition is the first step toward ending stigma.

ONLINE

Share the 2026 message

Watch the young advocates' video stories from the Look Beyond My Skin campaign and share one with #LookBeyondMySkin so their voices reach the peers, teachers, and families who need to hear them.

IN THE COMMUNITY

Stand with the community

Join a psoriasis awareness walk, host a small fundraiser, or donate to a patient association or research fund, and speak up for affordable treatment access where you live.
