If you get red, scaly patches on your skin, you may have psoriasis. Some people have only a few patches that get better if they apply a cream. But some people get severe psoriasis that covers more of their body.
You can't catch psoriasis or give it to someone else. There's no cure, but treatment with light and medicine can help clear the patches from your skin.
We've brought together the best research about psoriasis and weighed up the evidence about how to treat it. You can use our information to talk to your doctor and decide which treatments are best for you.
