Psoriasis looks different depending on the type. Plaque or guttate psoriasis are the most common. They have round silvery scale that piles on top of dead skin and causes the raised coin like lesions. It is Most often on elbows and knees. It can be very disfiguring, especially for young people.
There are are five or seven types of psoriasis depending on which web site you visit. WebMD has a good article on it. If you suspect that you have it, see a dermatologist. Check that it is a dermatologist that specializes in psoriasis because some deal more with removing skin moles and doing beauty treatments.
you cant have it on your stomach
Eating lots of leafy greens or zinc tablets can help improve psoriasis. The best thing you can do for your psoriasis, however, is to not eat any gluten. Oftentimes psoriasis or psoriasis-like symptoms occur because of an allergy to gluten.
I would look for that information on the website of a local hospital or a dermatologist. Health.com may also have information on the treatment of psoriasis.
Psoriasis is hereditary. Therefore, there is a possibility that the child would have it if his/her parents have a history of it. Since psoriasis is rare, we cannot determine if a skin disorder is a psoriasis type or not. Precisely, some skin disorders are psoriasis-like diseases but are known as dermatoses after the biopsy. Back to psoriasis, biopsy and lifestyle information is needed to determine the type of disease.

If they're red, they could be a minor skin condition like excema or psoriasis. I got psoriasis myself at a young age, twelve or thirteen or so. Excema makes your skin look red, in patches and psoriasis is when the skin grows back too quickly. Take a visit to the dermatologist, they'll setlle your fears =)
It could be psoriasis, there are shampoos that will help some (T-Gel) but a doctor can give you something better to help control it. Another thing to look for are little pits on your fingernails. If there are it is most likely psoriasis.

C'est le psoriasis.
Psoriasis is a non-infectious skin disease that causes red rashes and patches on the skin.Psoriasis causes painful swelling, bleeding cracks, severe scaling, itching, burning, and plaques. Psoriasis plaques affect any part of the skin including scalp, palms, elbows, and knees, nape of the neck, genitals, and soles of feet. Medical science does not suggest any complete treatment for Psoriasis. But it is curable through Ayurvedic treatments without any side effects.
The flakes are called scale or scales. It can be fine scale (like winter-dried skin or "ashiness") or coarse scale (as with psoriasis).
No, psoriasis is not caused by a bacterium, or an infection of any kind.
