1. Is psoriasis contagious? »
No. Psoriasis is not contagious. It cannot spread from one person to another through contact.
2. I have learnt to live with psoriasis. Is it necessary to treat it? »
Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease and needs to be medically addressed. If left untreated, there is a possibility that it will increase not only in number and size of the existing lesions but also affect the finger and toenails and joints, sometimes causing deformity to the joints.
