Description
Beata Bień, Piotr Krajewski, and Jacek Szepietowski carried out a 2024 study of how people with psoriasis accept their illness. The skin condition affects more than 60 million people in the world. Its marks are easy to see, and it can cause itch and pain as well as stress.
The study group had 166 patients, 101 men and 65 women, each ill for at least one year. The team used standard scales to rate how bad the skin was, how strong the itch felt, and how life felt day to day. Most patients showed a middle level of acceptance, and scores linked with skin state, itch, and life quality.
