General Wellbeing and Mood during the Winter months

I was diagnosed with the condition in 2007.

Good afternoon everyone This time of year when it is cold and the heating is on at home and freezing cold outside - does anyone else's skin go crazy and flare up like mad ? My psoriasis does not like the cold weather - loves the warm weather in the summer - it them calms down so much - but now with this latest cold weather it seems to be going crazy !! Am I right in thinking that the cold weather makes it worse ? I cant think for me what else it could be currently as I am watching my diet, not drinking at all and keeping my levels of stress down. Any advice or support would be grateful. Andrew Clarke.

Perhaps it could be related to your vitamin D intake as there is no sun to provide it. Worth taking a supplement perhaps?

I have just returned from a sunny holiday and for the first time in my life it did not help. I am now back in the cold have an awful flare up. I do think nerves etc don’t help but when you have to put creams all over your body it is depressing. Any help lease I use dovenex
