Psoriasis is an arthritis auto-immune linked. Although the disease is "commonly" observed as a rash in elbows and knees (sometimes entire body) it is actually destroying the small joints of your hands. Since it is auto-immune linked the disease may (in some cases) spread to your lungs or kidneys (glomerulonephritis) and that can be very serious. You need to look for information about a good diet so that Psoriasis cannot flair up. Absolutely avoid red meat (chicken or sea food are best but no shellfish!!) Best wishes!

RE: Could minor Psoriasis or any Psoriasis ever become deadly?

if the skin gets extremely cracked and you have open wounds, you could contract a staph infection, which can be fatal. But that's rare, and psoriasis is mostly an irritant!
