Psoriasis Flare Ups in Summer Causes and Prevention
The aggravation of psoriasis symptoms tends to increase during the summer season due to factors such as sweating, direct friction, and sunburns, all of which can intensify the itching of skin plaques and negatively affect the skin. While moderate sun exposure offers some benefits for those affected, sunburns worsen the condition and require the use of appropriate sunscreen, with sensitive individuals avoiding direct sunlight altogether. In winter, psoriasis symptoms often worsen due to reduced sunlight and moisture loss, which weaken the skin barrier and make the skin more sensitive to external triggers. Preventive measures include wearing light clothing, showering after sweating, using recommended moisturizers and topical treatments, and pre-winter skin preparation through the application of oils and emollients to maintain the skin barrier. Achieving a balanced exposure to sunlight is essential to control symptoms throughout the year.
