Detailed Answer:
Hello, greetings!
Thanks for posting your query on hcm.
Your friend can go ahead with the proposal.
Psoriasis is not communicable and it doesn't cause skin cancer.
However, it is a chronic disease and is associated with recurrence.
But do not worry as many treatment options are available these days.
If you have any further doubts/clarifications, you may get back to me.
Regards,
Dr. Sonia
