Psoriasis is a chronic disease that usually does not respond to traditional treatment.

Patients may have periods of remission and exacerbation. The latter may be influenced by various factors.

For example, you shouldn't spend too much time in the sun. Although the effect of ultraviolet radiation is usually positive, you shouldn't overdo it.

If a person with such a problem is carried away by tanning, there is a risk of developing multiple malignant neoplasms, erythroderma. But we are more often talking about cases when a person ignores the rule for many years.

Specialist Anna Michenko told the Doctor TV channel about this, writes Gazeta.Ru .

It is also important to give up alcohol.

As is known, alcohol has a negative impact on the general condition of the body.

But it is also worth noting that alcoholic drinks negatively affect the process of treating psoriasis.

Exacerbation and deterioration of the skin condition is possible.
