I grew up telling people I was healthy, that I ‘just’ have psoriasis and that is fine. The only thing is, having psoriasis does not make you healthy. It can make being healthy much, much harder.

In this interview, we talk to Consultant Dermatologist Dr. Jon Goulding about the wider implications of living with psoriasis. He knows for sure that psoriasis is more than a disease of the skin.

Jon is refreshingly open and honest about the state of psoriasis care at present and has an optimistic view of where we are going.
