SkinCell UK Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic (long term) skin disorder for which there is no known medically proven cure.

It is currently thought (although not statistically proven) that Psoriasis affects around 2 percent of the population in the UK. In the United Kingdom, it is believed that around 1.2 million people suffer from this depressive and resistant disease. This figure is similarly reflected in many countries around the world.
With all forms of Psoriasis there appears to be a significant link between the disease and the sufferers mental wellness. Due to the nature of the disease and how it acts, sufferers often experience an elelment of depression, increased anxiety and stress levels. This in turn then causes the Psoriasis to increase, thus increasing the levels of stress and anxiety which in turn then may make the Psoriasis even worse. In this way the Psoriasis can caused tremendous continued emotional upset for the sufferer.
Thankfully the issue of mental health of the sufferer is beginning to be addressed by the medical professions around the world. It is this particular area that The SkinCell Forum has proven to be so successful as a Psoriasis Forum by offering all sufferers an outlet to be able to gain direct support from other sufferers who have shared the same experiences.
We understand the pressures of hiding your Psoriasis, of the dubious and risky treatments, of the frustrations of the UK Health Care system and of dealing with GP's and Dermatologists.



SkinCell Forum consists of both Psoriasis and other skin disorder sufferers.
The reason for this becomes clear when you visit the Forum and start to read through the tens of thousands of posted messages. SkinCell is as much a Psoriasis Forum as it is any other type of disease because we recognised that there are many shared symptoms, treatments and most importantly, good advice that spans the many different types of skin disorders we discuss.


SkinCell is based and administered in the United Kingdom but serves to bring together support, experience and fellowship across the globe. Many of our members are based in the UK, USA or Australia but all are welcome to register for the forum, use its facilities and most certainly gain the moral support that we all deserve.
