diagnóstico de psoriasis, entre julio - agosto del 2019. Resultados. La enfermedad
aparece entre los 40 y 60 años; la mayoría de personas al conocer su diagnóstico
fueron afectadas emocionalmente por el sentimiento de la vergüenza, debido a las
lesiones que presenta, y al estar conscientes que será una enfermedad para toda su
vida. Fueron afectados en su vida laboral por la presencia de picor, dolor causado
por las lesiones, el cual muchas veces les impiden ir a sus trabajos o les dan
vergüenza ante sus compañeros; aunque las personas que contestaron no laborar
es porque se dedican a su casa. Mayormente contestaron que su vida interpersonal
con su familia no está afectada, no así su vida social, la que sí está afectada pues
muchas veces no acuden a reuniones con sus amigas porque les da vergüenza por
sus lesiones y les incomoda preguntas que les hacen debido a su cambio de
vestimenta para tapar sus lesiones. La mayoría de pacientes concluyeron que es
muy importante la ayuda psicológica y la educación a la comunidad para poder
sobrellevar esta enfermedad
