These can be environmentally or physically related. The triggers vary from person to person, but common psoriasis triggers include:</p></div><div><ul><li><a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/psoriasis/tips-for-flare-ups-cold-hot-weather" class="content-link css-1c2ok3c">cold temperatures</a></li><li><a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/psoriasis/psoriasis-and-alcohol" class="content-link css-1c2ok3c">drinking too much alcohol</a></li><li><a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/psoriasis-after-quitting-smoking" class="content-link css-1c2ok3c">smoking</a></li><li>having another <a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/autoimmune-disorders" class="content-link css-1c2ok3c">autoimmune disorder</a>, such as <a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/hiv-aids" class="content-link css-1c2ok3c">HIV</a> or <a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/rheumatoid-arthritis" class="content-link css-1c2ok3c">rheumatoid arthritis</a></li><li>having an infection that causes a weakened immune system, such as <a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/strep-throat" class="content-link css-1c2ok3c">strep throat</a></li><li>getting a skin injury, such as a cut, bug bite, or sunburn</li><li>excessive stress and tension</li><li>certain medications, including lithium, beta-blockers, and antimalarial drugs</li></ul></div><div><h3>What triggers a psoriasis flare-up?</h3></div><div><p>These same triggers can also prompt a flare-up of psoriasis in some people. However, not all common triggers have the same effect on all people with psoriasis, and people can also have <a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/psoriasis/moderate-to-severe/my-unexpected-triggers" class="content-link css-1c2ok3c">uncommon triggers</a>.</p></div><div><p>You can identify your specific triggers by tracking when you develop psoriasis symptoms. For example, did you notice a flare-up after a stressful week at work? Did your symptoms become worse after drinking alcohol with friends? Noting when symptoms occur can help you determine potential psoriasis triggers and avoid them.</p></div><div><p>A doctor can also evaluate your <a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/psoriasis/medications-that-trigger-psoriasis" class="content-link css-1c2ok3c">medications</a> and overall health to help you pinpoint possible triggers. </p></div><div><p>Tell your doctor about any prescription or over-the-counter medications you may be taking. If they suspect your medication is causing your outbreaks, they may switch you to another medication or change the dosage. </p></div><div><p>Do not stop taking any medications unless a doctor instructs you to do so. Doing so can sometimes result in worsening health conditions or serious side effects.</p></div><div class="css-20w1gi"><aside class="css-0 css-0" data-testid="sticky-inline-ad" data-sticky="false"><div><div data-empty="true" class="css-1sq15os"><div class="css-1hjaa0k"><span class="css-zya54r"></span></div><div id="inline7__slot" data-adbridg-ad-class="inline7__slot" data-ad="true" class="css-1t05dkn"></div></div></div></aside></div></div><div class="css-1avyp1d"><span style="font-size:0;line-height:0"></span><div><h2><div><a class="chartbeat-section" name="prevention">How can psoriasis flare-ups be prevented?</a></div></h2></div><span style="font-size:0;line-height:0"></span><div><p>While you can’t change your genes, you can <a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/psoriasis-prevention" class="content-link css-1c2ok3c">prevent psoriasis</a> flare-ups by managing your symptoms with consistent <a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/psoriasis/treatments" class="content-link css-1c2ok3c">treatment</a>.

This response can lead to the onset of psoriasis symptoms. You can try reducing the amount of stress in your life by:</p></div><div><ul><li>doing <a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/psoriasis/yoga-poses-for-stress-relief" class="content-link css-1c2ok3c">yoga</a></li><li><a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/mental-health/types-of-meditation" class="content-link css-1c2ok3c">meditating</a> or practicing <a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/mind-body/mindfulness-activities" class="content-link css-1c2ok3c">mindfulness</a></li><li>meeting with a mental health professional regularly</li></ul></div><div><h3>Taking care of your skin</h3></div><div><p>Some people’s skin injuries, such as sunburns and scrapes, trigger psoriasis.

However, psoriasis flare-ups may occur after an earache, tonsillitis, or a respiratory or skin infection.
