Areas of psoriasis can be as small as a few flakes on your scalp or elbow, or cover the majority of your body.</p></div><div><p>The most common symptoms of plaque psoriasis include:</p></div><div><ul><li>raised, inflamed patches of skin that appear red on light skin and brown or purple on dark skin</li><li>whitish-silver scales or plaques on the red patches or gray scales on purple and brown patches</li><li>dry skin that may crack and bleed</li><li>soreness around patches</li><li>itching and burning sensations around patches</li><li>thick, pitted nails</li><li>painful, swollen joints</li></ul></div><div><p>Not every person will experience all these symptoms. Some people will experience entirely different symptoms if they have a less common type of psoriasis.</p></div><div><h3>How do you know if you have psoriasis?</h3></div><div><p>Most people with psoriasis go through “cycles” of symptoms. The condition may cause severe symptoms for a few days or weeks, and then the symptoms may clear up and be almost unnoticeable. </p></div><div><p>Then, in a few weeks or if made worse by a common psoriasis trigger, the condition may flare up again. Sometimes, symptoms of psoriasis disappear completely.</p></div><div><p>When you have no active signs of the condition, you may be in “<a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/psoriasis/psoriasis-remission" class="content-link css-1c2ok3c">remission</a>.” That does not mean psoriasis will not come back, but for this period of time, you’re symptom-free.</p></div><div><h3>How do you stop psoriasis from spreading?</h3></div><div><p>Psoriasis is not contagious. You cannot pass the skin condition from one person to another. Touching a psoriatic lesion on another person will not cause you to develop the condition.</p></div><div><p><a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/psoriasis/is-psoriasis-contagious" class="content-link css-1c2ok3c">It’s important to be educated on the condition, as many people think psoriasis is contagious.</a></p></div><span class="css-zya54r"></span></div><div class="css-1avyp1d"><span style="font-size:0;line-height:0"></span><div><h2><div><a class="chartbeat-section" name="causes">What causes psoriasis to start?</a></div></h2></div><span style="font-size:0;line-height:0"></span><div><p>Doctors are unclear as to what causes psoriasis.

Autoimmune conditions are the result of your body attacking itself. In the case of psoriasis, <a class="content-link css-1c2ok3c sl" href="https://www.healthline.com/health/blood-cell-disorders/">white blood cells</a> known as T cells mistakenly attack your skin cells.</p></div><div><p>Generally, in the body, white blood cells are deployed to attack and destroy invading bacteria and mount a defense against infections. This mistaken autoimmune attack causes the skin cell production process to go into overdrive. The sped-up skin cell production causes new skin cells to develop too quickly. They are pushed to the skin’s surface, where they pile up.</p></div><div><p>This results in the plaques that are most commonly associated with psoriasis. The attacks on the skin cells also cause red, inflamed areas of skin to develop.</p></div><div><h3>Genetics </h3></div><div><p>Some people inherit genes that make them more likely to develop psoriasis.

These five lifestyle changes may help ease symptoms of psoriasis and reduce flare-ups:</p></div><div><h3>Managing body weight</h3></div><div><p>It’s unclear how weight interacts with psoriasis, but losing excess weight may also help in making treatments more effective. If you’re overweight, working toward reaching <a class="content-link css-1c2ok3c sl" href="https://www.healthline.com/health/psoriasis-and-obesity/">a moderate weight</a>, may help in reducing the severity of the condition. </p></div><div><h3>Eating a heart-healthy diet</h3></div><div><p>Reducing your intake of <a class="content-link css-1c2ok3c sl" href="https://www.healthline.com/health/heart-disease/good-fats-vs-bad-fats/">saturated fats</a>, which are found in animal products, like meats and dairy, can be helpful in managing psoriasis. </p></div><div><p>It’s also important to increase your intake of lean proteins that contain omega-3 fatty acids, such as <a class="content-link css-1c2ok3c sl" href="https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/salmon-nutrition-and-health-benefits/">salmon</a>, <a class="content-link css-1c2ok3c sl" href="https://www.healthline.com/health/food-nutrition/are-sardines-good-for-you/">sardines</a>, and <a class="content-link css-1c2ok3c sl" href="https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/is-shrimp-healthy/">shrimp</a>.

If you have alcohol use disorder, your doctor can help you create a treatment plan.</p></div><div><h3>Considering taking vitamins</h3></div><div><p>Some doctors prefer a vitamin-rich diet to vitamins in pill form.
