About Psoriasis and Ways to Treat It

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that causes the rapid buildup of skin cells, leading to scaling on the skin’s surface. Inflammation and redness around the affected areas are common, and it often appears on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back.
To prevent acne from worsening, it’s important to keep your skin clean by gently washing twice a day. Avoid picking or squeezing pimples to prevent scarring. Using products labeled "non-comedogenic" (won't clog pores) and managing stress can also help.
No, psoriasis is not contagious. It cannot be spread through skin-to-skin contact or sharing personal items.
