Did you know August is Psoriasis Awareness Month?

Affecting as many as 7.5 million Americans, psoriasis is a disease that affects the skin, appearing as dry, raised red patches, including popular celebs like Kim Kardashian and Leann Rimes.

Consider Diet and Lifestyle Changes. "Many people with psoriasis have claimed improvement after cutting down on certain foods, including sugar, white flour, gluten, and caffeine," Dr. Nussbaum siad.

"There is also an association between obesity and Psoriasis, and many dermatologists feel a healthy weight can improve symptoms," he explained.

"Try improving your Psoriasis by simple lifestyle changes like eliminating certain foods (especially less nutritious ones) and exercising as little as 30 minutes daily."
