Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that can affect any part of the body, is often present in visible areas, and may occasionally be difficult to treat. Psoriasis can lead to depression and decreased quality of life. We performed a qualitative survey to examine patient perspectives on how psoriasis impacts their lives. Patients with psoriasis are vulnerable to embarrassment and stigmatization in public spaces, as well as discrimination at work, school, or in society. Further studies are needed to determine the best interventions for improving the quality of life in this patient population.
