Psoriasis-Related Websites

The Internet can be a source of helpful information and support for psoriasis patients. Many psoriasis organizations can be found on the Web, and some of these organizations may even direct you to other appropriate resources.

As always, when using any Internet resource, keep the following points in mind:

• Investigate and verify any information you receive so that you can understand how it might or might not apply to your specific situation.
• Always consult your physician for health-related problems.
