Psoriasis and Humidity
Does the relative humidity in the house have any influence on the condition?
Re: Psoriasis and Humidity
I think mine gets worse in the humidity when I am in Singapore (my son lives there so I visit)

Re: Psoriasis and Humidity
Thank you. Yes psoriasis can be affected by humidity. It also can be affected by sunlight (UVB). In majority of patients psoriasis improves with sunlight but in 10% of patients it can get worse I am afraid.
I hope this is helpful.
