No. If a healthy individual with clear skin comes in direct skin contact with people having psoriasis rashes, he/she cannot catch psoriasis.

Psoriasis can affect anyone irrespective of age, race, or sex. However, it mostly occurs in adults. Both men and women can get psoriasis at roughly the same rate as they are at equal risk.

A psoriasis rash can be noticed on the skin of any part of the body. However, it is commonly seen on the scalp, and face including the inside of the mouth, knees and elbows, genitals, fingernails and toenails, palms and feet, and lower back. Mostly, psoriasis affects small areas of the skin. In severe cases, small skin plaques can merge and cover larger portions of the skin.

Physicians or skin doctors can diagnose psoriasis by carrying out a thorough physical examination of their patients to look at their skin closely and review their symptoms or run a laboratory test. It is easier to diagnose psoriasis if the patients are having plaques on their skin of different body parts such as the ears, elbows, knees, nails, navel, and scalp. The doctor might do a biopsy test- take out a small piece of the affected skin, examine it under the microscope, and test it for skin infections. This is done to rule out the possibility of experiencing other skin issues and confirm psoriasis.
