Q: Will my psoriasis get worse?

A: Psoriasis does vary. You will get flare-ups when your condition is worse than at other times. Although we cannot be certain, stress seems to make psoriasis worse in many people. Life events like a bereavement or exams can make psoriasis worse. Try to avoid stress whenever possible. With a good treatment regime you will soon have your psoriasis under control again. Do go back to your doctor if you feel the treatment you have been given is not working well for you. There might be other options you could try. You will not be wasting your doctor’s time; he or she is happy to help you manage your skin condition in the best way.
