Many children deal with the unique challenges of plaque psoriasis. There is no cure and researchers are focused on trying to find ways to address those challenges. Oregon Dermatology and Research Center in Portland, Oregon is looking for children aged 2-17 with psoriasis on at least 3% of their body to participate in a research study evaluating a potential treatment for psoriasis.
To estimate how much of your child’s body has psoriasis, 1% of their body is approximately the size of the palm of their hand. So, if you think they have about 3 “palm prints” of psoriasis on their body, they may qualify.
