According to the National Psoriasis Foundation, psoriasis is the most common autoimmune disorder in the United States, affecting up to 7.5 million people.

Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated disease estimated to affect more than 125 million people worldwide. It affects 3 percent to 4 percent of the U.S. population, and the psychological impact of psoriasis can be substantial.
