An estimated 20,000 people in the Indianapolis area live with psoriasis. Psoriasis, a noncontagious, chronic disease of the immune system, appears on the skin causing red, scaly patches.

People with psoriasis are at risk of developing other serious conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and depression.
