Is Plaque Psoriasis Deadly In Any Way? Please Explain Why Or Why Not!?

I have a case of Plaque Psoriasis on the joints of my knee on the back side (not the side that bends out, but the side that bends in.) I'm only 13 and am afraid of death (who isn't?) and was wondering if it is anyway deadly at all. If possible, leave a link if possible, but for god sake, please don't link to any news reports.

Psoriasis is common on the knee over the kneecap. It is uncommon in the bend of the knee so I question the diagnosis. Eczema is common in the bend of the knee and bend of the elbow. This may be what you have. Eczema is associated with hay fever, allergies and asthma. Neither are deadly, but both are chronic conditions. Psoriasis may be associated with arthritis, diabetes, high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. See if you can verify the diagnosis.
