No, psoriasis is not contagious. It is not an infectious disease.Effective treatment can send psoriasis into remission, making symptoms disappear for weeks to months at a time but there is not yet a permanent cure for the disease.If you have a family history, you can help to prevent or minimize the chances of developing psoriasis by reducing stress, avoiding smoking, obesity or being over-weight and discussing with your physician any medications you take.
A physician may change a patient’s treatment dose, combine one kind of therapy with another, or switch treatments if one doesn’t work for a patient.Topically applied treatments, such as creams and ointments, are usually recommended first, particularly for mild psoriasis. The aim of this kind of treatment is primarily to slow down and regulate skin cell turnover, reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system.
