🧠✨ Did you know psoriasis is more than a skin condition?

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease that can be associated with other health conditions, including:

• Psoriatic arthritis
• Cardiovascular disease
• Type 2 diabetes
• Inflammatory bowel disease
• Anxiety & depression

That’s why treating psoriasis often means caring for the whole person — not just the skin.

If you or someone you love is living with psoriasis, our team at CDCRI is here to help. 💙

At California Dermatology and Clinical Research Institute, we’re dedicated to advancing treatments, supporting patients, and fighting stigma through clinical research. 💪

Let’s raise awareness, start conversations, and stand with those living with psoriasis. 💙
