Psoriasis is a chronically occurring inflammatory disease affecting the skin. It is not dangerous to the patient's life, but it causes him physical and psychological discomfort. It is not yet possible to completely cure this disease.

It is important to prevent its exacerbations in a timely manner. The only effective way to prevent the deterioration of the condition is the rapid relief of symptoms. Let's consider why there is an exacerbation in patients with psoriasis in the autumn period. Let's find out how he is being treated.

Causes of exacerbation in autumn

Factors affecting the deterioration of psoriasis patients vary from person to person. However, there are several reasons that contribute to the exacerbation of this disease in the fall:

  • Decrease in the level of solar activity. Ultraviolet rays in most patients have a positive effect on the course of psoriasis. In autumn, the sunlight becomes less intense, which leads to an exacerbation of the disease.
  • Dry air. In the autumn period, the microclimate in the room becomes drier due to heating, which causes dehydration of the skin. Insufficiently moistened dermis is vulnerable to the appearance of psoriatic rashes.
  • Changing climatic conditions. The transition from a warm summer climate to a cool autumn causes stress for the skin and the immune system. This also contributes to the exacerbation of psoriasis.
  • Seasonal infections. In the autumn, respiratory infections often occur, which negatively affect the overall immune status of the body. This exacerbates the disease.
  • Changing habits and regime. Many people actively relax in the summer and forget to regularly take care of their skin after exposure to the sun. By autumn, this becomes noticeable.

It is important to remember that the causes of psoriasis exacerbation are individual. Not all patients have the disease intensifies its manifestations in the autumn period.
