Psoriasis is not contagious.
This is the message we have repeated for over 30 years — out loud, wherever understanding is still missing.
History & mission
About the Association.
“The Psoriasis Patients’ Association in Lublin was the first of its kind in Poland.”
From the very beginning our goal has been clear: to work hand in hand with healthcare professionals in spreading knowledge about the causes and course of psoriasis and about current treatment options — including home care. We work to improve patients’ quality of life, cooperate with associations in Poland and abroad, and bring together people who need support.
The year 1994 is a formal milestone. The Founding Committee first met three years earlier — on 12 January 1991 The Association was formally registered on 9 November 1994.
We operate under our statute and make sure members and friends find honest answers to the questions on their minds. We learn to live with psoriasis — because together it is easier than alone.
We believe our work genuinely improves the quality of life of people with psoriasis and builds better understanding around them.

Medical information
Psoriasis — what you should know.
Psoriasis is a chronic, relapsing skin condition with an autoimmune background. It affects roughly 2–3% of the world’s population and can significantly impact quality of life — physically, mentally and socially.
It most often appears as red, clearly scaling lesions (plaques) on the skin. In some patients it is accompanied by psoriatic arthritis (PsA). And most importantly: psoriasis is not contagious.
Treatment includes topical preparations (ointments and creams), phototherapy, oral medicines and modern biologic therapies, available through National Health Fund drug programmes.
Oral & biologic medicines
Methotrexate, acitretin, ciclosporin and modern biologic therapies funded by the National Health Fund.
Wsparcie psychologiczne
Online support groups, a helpline, and workshops on assertiveness and coping with stress.
Phototherapy & health resorts
PUVA, brine baths and treatment stays in Nałęczów, Busko-Zdrój, Truskavets or Smrdáky in Slovakia.
