Many young unmarried patients with psoriasis are worried about whether they can get married and have children. They have a strong desire to get married and have children, but there is a special fear of passing it on to future generations. Let's see if psoriasis can give birth to a baby.

Can you have a baby with psoriasis?

First: although psoriasis has a long course of disease and is easy to relapse, in addition to severe special types such as arthrosis, erythroderma and generalized pustular psoriasis, generally speaking, the vast majority of patients are milder and have little impact on work, study and life.

Second: psoriasis is not infectious, you can love, marry and form a family. Psoriasis patients do not need inferiority complex, resulting in artificial social, psychological barriers, there is no need to be afraid to pass on to the next generation.

Third: it needs to be clarified that some patients think that childbirth will be inherited during the psoriasis attack, and childbirth will not be inherited after the disease is cured. This is a misunderstanding. Because psoriasis is not contagious, whether there are psoriasis lesions during pregnancy and childbirth, the genetic probability of the child is the same

matters needing attention

If the condition of psoriasis is very light, the affected area is very small (such as only skin lesions on the scalp), or the skin lesions have completely subsided, the drug can be stopped completely, and the body and spirit can be in good condition through self adjustment, so as to prepare for the arrival of the baby. If psoriasis recurres during pregnancy, we should stabilize the mood, pay attention to rest, adjust diet, and choose internal medicine or simple and mild external medicine according to the condition.
