Psoriasis affects around 125 million people worldwide but there's still so much misunderstanding around the condition.
In this special Psoriasis Awareness Month episode of the After Hours Skin Clinic podcast, Consultant Dermatologist Dr Ellie Rashid explains what psoriasis is, what causes it, and the treatment options available today.
Alongside a personal story (special thanks to Alys for sharing her experience), Ellie discusses common triggers, the different types of psoriasis, whether diet plays a role, and how treatments such as phototherapy, topical therapies and biologics can help manage the condition.
You'll learn:
What causes psoriasis
Common triggers and flare-ups
How psoriasis is treated

The latest biologic treatments
The emotional impact of living with psoriasis
When to speak to your GP or dermatologist
