Psoriasis Doesn't Have to Interfere With Sex

Sexual health concerns are common among people with psoriasis - a disorder that causes scaly, itchy patches to form on the skin. Even with proper treatment, psoriasis flare ups can occur on any part of the body, including the genitals.

In addition to the physical discomfort, psoriasis can have an emotional impact. Psoriasis sufferers may feel anxious, embarrassed, and unattractive. Many worry that their partner will think they have a sexually-transmitted infection. (Note: Psoriasis is not contagious.)

In our latest blog post, we go over some of the sexual challenges people with psoriasis may face.  We also discuss strategies for coping, including communicating with a partner, making adjustments in the bedroom, and seeking outside support.
