Can I share a towel with a psoriasis patient? (Contagious?)

No, it is absolutely not contagious. Psoriasis is an immune system disorder, not a bacterial or viral infection. Please rest assured.

건선에 대한 가장 큰 오해가 "옮는다"는 것입니다. 이로 인해 환자분들이 목욕탕이나 수영장을 꺼리게 됩니다.

  • 비전염성: 악수, 포옹, 수건 공유, 식사 모두 안전합니다.
  • 유전성: 전염은 안 되지만 유전적 소인은 있을 수 있습니다(가족력).
  • 사회적 인식: 주변에 건선은 전염병이 아님을 알리고 당당하게 생활하세요.
💡 격려

전염병이 아니므로 격리나 소독은 필요 없습니다. 따뜻한 배려가 환자의 스트레스를 줄여 치료를 돕습니다.
