Research Notes on Psoriasis During the Winter


Psoriasis during the winter can be especially difficult. Dry, cool air and lack of humidity can cause this condition to worsen during the cooler months. Using a good moisturizer, particularly after bathing, can alleviate some symptoms.1

Fast Facts:

  • Your doctor may change or increase your medications during the winter months.2
  • Stress during the winter/holiday can increase symptoms. Avoid stress as much as possible.2
  • Avoid long hot showers.2
  • Light therapy can help treat patchy, scaly skin.2
