Have you ever felt that your psoriasis has an impact on your personal relationships? You are not alone!
Thank you to everyone who completed a survey recently distributed by the National Psoriasis Foundation (NPF), in partnership with Galderma Laboratories, which found that nearly 80% of the surveyed population thinks that psoriasis has had a negative impact on their personal relationships.
Since August is National Psoriasis Awareness Month, NPF is hosting a free webcast, sponsored by Galderma Laboratories, underscoring the impact of psoriasis on relationships, unveiling the results of the relationship survey and offering tips on how to have successful personal relationships while managing psoriasis.
The free webcast will take place on Wednesday, August 18 at 8:00pm ET/5:00pm PT and will feature relationship expert and best-selling author Dr. Diana Kirschner and New York City-based dermatologist Dr. Fran Cook-Bolden.
