Individuals with psoriasis
may experience significant physical discomfort and some disability. Itching and
pain can interfere with basic functions, such as self-care, walking, and sleep.
Plaques on hands and feet can prevent individuals from working at certain
occupations, playing some sports, and caring for family members or a home. The
frequency of medical care is costly and can interfere with an employment or
school schedule. People with moderate to severe psoriasis may feel
self-conscious about their appearance and have a poor self-image that stems
from fear of public rejection and psychosexual concerns. Psychological distress
can lead to significant depression and social isolation.psoriasis-treatment
