A member asked:

I have psoriasis . can i donate blood?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. John Despain answered

Yes: As long as you are not on medications that would effect the recipient you blood is just as helpful and valuable as anyone else's. Psoriasis itself is not a contraindication to giving blood.
