Seasonal skin – does weather affect your psoriasis?
Many people say their psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis changes with the seasons, for example, drier and itchier in cold weather, or more irritated by heat, sweat or sun.
You might find yourself using thicker moisturisers in winter, being more careful with hot showers and indoor heating, or focusing more on sun protection and clothing in summer.
We’d love to hear your experience:
-
Do certain seasons make your skin or joints better or worse?
-
Have you found any small changes (moisturiser, clothing, bathing, sun habits) that help?
Please remember that posts here are personal experiences only and do not replace advice from your GP, dermatologist or rheumatologist. If you notice sudden changes or are worried about your skin or joints, it’s important to seek medical advice.
