Psoriasis affects around 125 million people worldwide but there's still so much misunderstanding around the condition.

Alongside a personal story (special thanks to Alys for sharing her experience), Ellie discusses common triggers, the different types of psoriasis, whether diet plays a role, and how treatments such as phototherapy, topical therapies and biologics can help manage the condition.
You'll learn:
- What causes psoriasis
- Common triggers and flare-ups
- How psoriasis is treated
- Why phototherapy works differently for everyone
- The latest biologic treatments
- The emotional impact of living with psoriasis
