I have been asked a few times over the years if others can catch it from me, mostly it has been a friendly ask like from family or friends.
The most recent was a few years ago when a young nurse hooking me up for an ECG and noticed it on my leg and she asked what it was. After I explained it was psoriasis she did ask if it is contagious, she had never seen psoriasis before so I explained that it is not possible to catch it from another person and she could examine it if she wanted to. An older nurse that was also in the room touched it to reassure her.
