In New Testament times, it was normal to group all disfiguring diseases, whether curable or not, under the term 'leprosy'.Strictly speaking, leprosy (Hansen's disease) is a specific disfiguring disease that results in total loss of feeling, such that sufferers are likely to injure themselves, even breaking off fingers, without realising they had done so. Leprosy is mildly contagious but with modern treatment is curable.Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disease that appears on the skin, and occurs when the immune system sends out faulty signals that speed up the growth cycle of skin cells. Quite different to leprosy in cause and effect, Psoriasis is not contagious.
