A member asked:
Is elbow psoriasis contagious? i'm worried about resting my right affected elbow on surfaces (tables, etc.) as i fear i might spread bacteria on it.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Psoriasis itself as an entity is not contagious. If u get secondary bacterial infections then it is possible.
