  • Injury to skin—trauma to your skin such as abrasions, insect bites, and burns can trigger psoriasis symptoms

  • Illness—anything affecting your immune system, like upper respiratory infections, can trigger symptoms

  • Weather—cold weather can trigger symptoms due to less sunlight and low humidity, while warm weather factors can improve your condition

  • Diet—there is some evidence to show that symptoms may be triggered by certain foods and nutrients, as well as alcohol and smoking
