Psoriasis is a skin disease in which the body’s immune system is overactive and causes damage and inflammation. The immune system also makes the skin cells grow faster than usual, leading to thick, itchy, scaly skin anywhere on the body. Psoriasis is not a contagious disease.

Q. How is psoriasis diagnosed?

Your doctor or dermatologist will look at your skin to diagnose and determine the severity of your psoriasis. This will allow them to identify what specific type of psoriasis you have.

Q. Are there different types of psoriasis?

Yes, there are different types of psoriasis. However, plaque psoriasis is the most common form. It gets its name from the ‘plaques’ that are formed by the excess build-up of skin cells. These can be red, itchy, and sore, with white or silvery scales, most commonly seen on the elbows, knees, lower back, and scalp.

Q. Can psoriasis affect my pregnancy?

It is advisable to discuss with your doctor how to manage your psoriasis during pregnancy. If you are planning a pregnancy, discuss it as early as possible with your doctor to put a treatment plan into place.

Q. Does diet play a role in treating psoriasis?

Although scientific research has not yet found a definite link between diet and psoriasis, some people have noticed an improvement in their symptoms when they cut something out of their daily diet. If you think you might be eating something that makes your psoriasis worse, then keeping a food diary is an easy way to spot any patterns.

Q. Will alcohol affect my psoriasis?

It is advisable to avoid or limit alcohol consumption while taking medicines for psoriasis since it can affect the way in which the medicines are broken down in the body, or raise the risk of potential side effects. You should always check with a doctor or pharmacist, and check the patient information leaflet of any medication you are taking before you drink alcohol.
