Psoriasis occurs when skin cells are replaced more quickly than usual.
It's not known exactly why this happens, but research suggests it's caused by a problem with the immune system.
The human body produces new skin cells in the deepest layer of skin.
Psoriasis and Eczema can seem similar but the main difference between psoriasis and eczema is in the itching.
With eczema the itching is usually much more intense and more severe itching occurs with eczema.
The Psoriasis can also cause itching but the itching with Psoriasis is usually not as severe and is less intense.
Also when you have eczema the skin is usually thicker and more inflamed with eczema than it is with psoriasis.
Psoriasis is not contagious so you cannot catch psoriasis from someone who has it.
Even if you touch the person who has psoriasis you cannot catch psoriasis from someone.
Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease and not a contagious disease so it's safe to be near someone who has it or even touch the person who has it.
You might get Psoriasis yourself but it's not because the other person had it.
The Psoriasis causes red scaly patches to appear on your skin and looks like a rash that seems contagious but it's not.
So the good news is that Psoriasis cannot be spread from person to person.
