Psoriasis, its triggers and solutions…

With the tropical heat in Singapore, the sun can be both a friend and a foe if one has Psoriasis. Many suffer from this autoimmune diseases in silence, and some don’t even know they have it.

So, let’s talk Psoriasis! It is a non-contagious autoimmune disease that causes dry and uncomfortable patches of skin that are typically red, itchy, scaly and at times painful that can form in various areas on the body. Its development and potential triggers are still a mystery. Not to mention, such itchy flaky skin could be uncomfortable and put a damper on your day, restricting your outfits and choice of activities.

Triggers of Psoriasis

As an autoimmune disease, Psoriasis flare-ups are believed to be caused internally. Some triggers include stress, hard water, changes in climate, hot water, injury to the skin, smoking and Vitamin D deficiency. But we are here to reassure you that you don’t have to be embarrassed, uncomfortable or hide under layers of clothing.
