Psoriasis by the Numbers
The prevalence of psoriatic disease is uncertain, especially in South Africa. Estimates suggest that worldwide there are 125 million people with psoriatic disease. In the past, psoriasis was considered a health concern within the speciality of Dermatology and explained through the over-active skin renewal body process thereby producing raised, red scaly skin. However, in recent years, the systemic nature of this inflammatory autoimmune disease has become acknowledged leading to potential health issues such as hypertension, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disorder and others. Psoriatic arthritis is known to affect approximately 30% of those with psoriasis.
