Patient/caregiver was educated on measures to manage and prevent activation of psoriasis as follows:
- Poor nutrition is an important risk factor for altered immunity and immune deficiency. Observe compliance with eating a healthy balanced diet, with good protein content.
- Observe compliance with daily recommended physical activity and quality sleep hours. Balancing activity and resting hours can play an important role in stress management. Appropriate control and management of stress can help maintain a strong and intact immunity, which can help prevent psoriasis activation. Also, observe compliance with relaxation measures, such as, yoga, meditation, and massage to help stress control.
- Avoid outdoor environments on very sunny and intensely cold days. Both intensely sunny and cold weathers can damage the skin and trigger activation of psoriasis in individuals predisposed to the condition.
