1.It Is Not Contagious
Due to its nickname "scaly skin disease" or colloquially "cowhide," many people mistakenly believe that psoriasis is contagious. In fact, it is not a form of ringworm and is not contagious.
2.There Is No Cure Yet
Currently, there is no definitive cure for psoriasis in medicine. Therefore, so-called ancestral secrets or famous doctors' remedies should not be trusted. However, scientific treatment can alleviate symptoms, control the disease, and allow patients to resume normal life.
3.Not 100% Hereditary
When one parent has psoriasis, the incidence rate among their children is approximately 16%. However, when both parents have psoriasis, the incidence rate among their children rises to 50%. Therefore, individuals with psoriasis can choose a partner who does not have the disease to reduce the risk of genetic transmission.
4.Seasonal Tendencies
Psoriasis symptoms tend to worsen during autumn and winter, which is related to the cold and dry weather during these seasons. Therefore, patients need to prioritize hydration and moisturization during these times.
