Psoriasis is a chronic disease that affects the skin, nail plates and/or joints in which correlation between the onset of skin changes or more severe symptoms and the psychical condition of a patient is observed. At present it is assumed that stigmatization are events and situations in a person's life that are recognized by the society as those that stigmatize a given person and lead to their rejection and finally downgrade and ruin their social status. Opinions and behaviour patterns of the members of the society create the sigma feeling in a patient and affect his/her psyche. The aim of the present paper is the analysis of the latest data presented in the literature on the sigma feeling in psoriasis patients. In the study, the analysis of the types of stigmatization experienced by patients has been carried out. Life events influence the severity of psoriatic changes, but also psoriasis as a somatic disease affects the everyday life of a patient. Some reactions and behaviours of other people may create the feeling of rejection in social situations and the subjective feeling of being stigmatized. Then, as a result of the sigma feeling, the general health condition, functioning in the society and quality of life are affected.
