Under normal circumstances, any competitor coming onto your turf would pose a serious threat. But one of the things that I absolutely adore about the psoriasis community is that everyone is incredibly friendly and welcoming. That statement is usually followed up with “What’s it called? I’m going to follow you.”
When I first started blogging about psoriasis, there weren’t too many other blogs out there. But I’m happy to report that our digital world is growing rapidly. That means more awareness, more information and more support. I’ve watched blogs that have been around grow and evolve and I’ve seen new ones flourish and bring forward their own voices into the space.
I’ve had the opportunity to meet or speak to a lot of these wonderful people and I encourage you to start following them or even start your own blog. Message me about guest posting if you want to start with dipping your toe into the water!
The great thing is that none of our stories, experiences and perspectives are the same, so there’s still a ton to learn and share with the rest of the community.
In no particular order, here’s a few spectacular ones to get your started:

Hello! your blog is the first one that I have read! It inspired me to creat my own blog about my experiences with psoriasis. I am from Perú and in my country there´s no enough information about our condition. One of my goals is to give more information about it and reduce discrimination against us. I share you my link, is in spanish: https://viviendoenmipiel.wordpress.com/2015/03/15/la-psoriasis-y-yo/
Best regards!
Great post Joni. Couldn’t agree more that this is a great community. As much as psoriasis can make you feel alone it really has brought people together. I have been lucky enough to meet a few other bloggers and patients now and what I find interesting is that as well as having different experiences we all have a different take on it too, our blogs are all unique just like our skin and our psoriasis. You may like to read “Jessica and Psoriasis” and “Psoriasis Exposed by Rani” two more UK bloggers.
Thanks, Simon! I updated to include Jess’ blog, but can you send me the URL to “Psoriasis Exposed by Rani” to update?
Thank you so much for the mention and also for such a great list. There are one or two there that I didn’t know about, so will happily start following now. Helen x
Great List!
Thanks for all the info and a great list! I am a retired nurse who never thought I would end up needing the help and support of others in my later years. Appreciate so many willing to share their stories!
