  7. Get Some Sun, But Not Too Much […] The ultraviolet rays in sunlight slow the growth of skin cells, so getting moderate doses of sun is good. But make it brief about 20 minutes or so at a time. And use sunscreen. Sunburn can trigger psoriasis, and it raises your risk of skin cancer. […] 8. Zap Stress […] Although it hasn’t been proven, many people link flare-ups to stress. So, try to relieve your anxiety. That may be easier said than done, but you can try relaxation techniques like meditation or yoga. […] 9. Watch How Much Alcohol You Drink […] The connection between alcohol and psoriasis isn’t clear, but some think it can worsen symptoms, especially in men. Alcohol can be dangerous if you’re using certain psoriasis drugs, so check with your doctor. […] 10. Exercise, Eat Right, and Maintain a Healthy Weight […] Although no studies have shown a link between diet and psoriasis, experts recommend that people with the condition eat a well-balanced diet that’s high in fruits and vegetables. Some people say their symptoms improve when they remove dairy or gluten. Exercise may also help. Some studies show excess weight can trigger flares, so stay at a healthy weight.

[…] You can minimize the risk for recurring flare-ups, but you cannot 100% avoid them, even if you do everything right.

[…] Managing psoriasis is a two-part task: You have to know how the condition works and what causes your triggers. Then, you have to respond to those triggers with the right kinds of treatments without further aggravating your skin barrier or your immune system response. […] It’s important for people to trust our knowledge about the numerous proven treatment options that are available for inflammatory diseases, but also important to realize that we don’t want to choose treatments for them but to work with them to ensure we choose treatments that align with their own goals and preferences, states Dr. Fernandez.
