Psoriasis is not contagious, so being close to or in contact with a sick person can in no way contribute to the transmission of the disease.
Psoriasis is a skin disease that falls into the macro-category of dermatitis. It is a multifactorial pathology resulting from the interaction of several predisposing factors.

Stress, anxiety, smoking, depression, bacterial or viral infections, certain medications, and trauma (fractures, major surgery, accidents) are all factors that can trigger psoriasis flare-ups.
