Psoriasis Trigger # 4: Medications

In some cases, medications may cause skin conditions to worsen or become exacerbated. Individuals who are currently taking anti-depressants, beta-blockers, or even various antimalarials should work with their doctor and dermatologist to determine if their medications are triggering flare-ups and outbreaks. Anytime you are discussing a new medication with a doctor or specialist, inform them of your psoriasis to minimize the risk of interactions or negative side effects.

Psoriasis Trigger #5:

Tobacco and alcohol are known to trigger inflammation and chronic illness in the body, which is why it's essential to avoid them at all costs, especially if you're predisposed to skin conditions or already have psoriasis. Limiting or avoiding alcohol and tobacco intake entirely can have a significant impact on the overall quality of life you experience. With a balanced diet and proper lifestyle choices, you can also reduce the number of psoriasis outbreaks and flare-ups you experience on an annual basis, regardless of how long you've had the condition.
