A new category just landed in the Seal of Recognition™: light therapy. 🔆

Meet SOLIUS the first product recognized in our new category and the first FDA-cleared over-the-counter UVB light therapy medical device for use at home.

Like everything carrying the Seal of Recognition, Solius was evaluated against NPF’s criteria for products created or intended to be non-irritating and safe for people living with psoriatic disease or sensitive skin. Because “looks safe” and “actually meets the criteria” are two very different things.

A cure for psoriatic disease is coming into view.

Today, the National Psoriasis Foundation (NPF) is announcing significant investment to accelerate progress toward the final milestones on the path to a cure for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.

More than 80 applications from researchers across 6 continents were submitted for the newly bolstered Milestones to a Cure Grant. In 2027, NPF will award $2 million to tackle the critical questions that remain between where we are today and a world without psoriatic disease.

For 60 years, NPF has invested in research driven by the needs and voices of the psoriatic disease community. That investment has helped advance more than 600 published studies and contributed to more than $50 million in subsequent federal research funding.

Now, we’re setting our sights on what comes next: identifying and overcoming the milestones that could bring us closer to a cure than ever before.

When Jimmy Castillo was diagnosed with plaque psoriasis at 15, he learned how isolating visible disease could be. Years later, an even more painful form – generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) – turned his world upside down.

"I struggled with my dermatologist because he kept putting me on steroid creams and treating it like it was [plaque] psoriasis.”

After years of misdiagnosis, Jimmy finally found a dermatologist who recognized GPP and helped him find an effective treatment. Now, he’s sharing his story to raise awareness of this rare and often misunderstood condition.

Head our GPP Resource Center and read Jimmy’s full journey and learn more about GPP 🧡 psoriasis.org/generalized-pustular-psoriasis/
