Sesungguhnya, psoriasis merupakan penyakit serius yang membebankan dan mempunyai impak negatif kepada kualiti hidup seharian tetapi sering menjadi stigma sosial dan kurang difahami dalam kalangan masyarakat.
Psoriasis is a genetically predetermined, immune-mediated, long-term inflammatory disease that primarily affects the skin and joints.
To date, more than 40 susceptible gene locations have been identified; the more prominent one being HLA cw-6 on the PSOR-1 locus and CARD4.
Psoriasis patients commonly present with red/pink plaques of thickened, scaling skin.
World Leprosy Day was started in 1954 to draw awareness to those affected by the disease. This year, it’s being commemorated on Jan 25.
IN ancient times, the mere mention of leprosy struck fear and horror into the hearts of communities.
The first effective treatment became available in the 1940s. Prior to that, people affected by the disease were condemned to a life without hope, suffering the complications and disfigurement that is a hallmark of the disease.
