Grosse Pointe dermatologist Dr. Shauna Ryder Diggs is excited to talk about psoriasis. That’s because the skin condition is so often hidden that some call it an “invisible disease.”
Psoriasis is a lifelong condition, and is often misunderstood by both people who are newly diagnosed with it, and people who don’t have it.
“For people who don’t have it, common misconceptions about psoriasis are thinking it’s an infection or thinking it’s contagious,” said Dr. Diggs, chairwoman of the Board of Directors of the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Foundation. “Thinking that it’s because someone is dirty or that it is just really bad dandruff and wondering why they aren’t taking care of it.”
While people with psoriasis are at a higher risk for heart disease and type 2 diabetes, they are also at a higher risk for depression and other mental health issues.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, a nonprofit mutual insurance company, is an independent licensee of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association. BCBSM provides and administers health benefits to more than 4.4 million members residing in Michigan in addition to employees of Michigan-headquartered companies who reside outside the state.
