Get a QuoteWhat is psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a long-term autoimmune skin condition that causes red, scaly patches of skin due to the rapid buildup of skin cells, and in the UK it affects roughly 2 million people. For many individuals, symptoms are managed with medication or lifestyle changes.
With the right preparation, treatment, and medical guidance, people who manage psoriasis continue to travel abroad with confidence.
Why travel insurance matters if you have psoriasis:
- Emergency medical treatment abroad if your condition causes complications
- Hospital treatment and medical expenses during your trip
- Repatriation to the UK if you need to return home for further care
- Cancellation cover if you are unable to travel due to your condition
Travel advice for people with a skin condition like psoriasis
- Make sure you pack enough psoriasis medication for your entire trip
- Carry medication in your hand luggage during travel
- Try to maintain your usual psoriasis treatment schedule while abroad
- Speak with your doctor before travelling if your treatment has recently changed

We can arrange travel insurance for people with psoriasis, as well as for many other medical conditions. The cover available depends on how severe the condition is and how it is managed, so it’s important to answer all the medical declaration questions honestly and accurately.
