World Psoriasis Day 2022: STOP THE STIGMA NOW!

Last October 23, 2022, the Skin and Cancer Foundation Inc. in association with the Philippine Dermatological Society and Psoriasis Philippines, celebrated World Psoriasis Day 2022 entitled “STOP THE STIGMA NOW!: United we tackle mental health”. The day started with a Fun Walk along Roxas Boulevard, followed by a program at the San Andres Sports Complex Covered Court. It was a great way to increase awareness to Psoriasis  and show support to all our dear patients battling this disease. 

Psoriasis may have many challenges both physically and mentally. Many people with psoriatic disease continue to face unmet needs and discrimination. But united, we can help stop the stigma.
