i heard that psoriasis is not contagious, but is it sure it’s not contagious? what will happen to my newborn child? does my child are also risk of getting psoriasis, if i have psoriasis? please suggestions would be good.
No psoriasis is not contagious, but it can run in families.
Is psoriasis contagious?
No. Research studies have not shown it to be contagious from person to person. You cannot catch it from anyone, and you cannot pass it to anyone else by skin-to-skin contact. You can directly touch someone with psoriasis every day and never catch the skin condition.
Can I pass psoriasis on to my children?
Yes, it is possible. Although psoriasis is not contagious from person to person, there is a known genetic tendency, and it may be inherited from parents to their children. It does tend to run in some families, and a family history is helpful in making the diagnosis.
