Something about facial skin? His bottom legs are horrendous. God only knows why this man has all these things.

It's a very tough road to have a large percentage of skin surface affected by psoriasis.
Other than my scalp, which I have been able to keep from a full flare so far (fingers crossed), I get it where the skin has been injured and/or stressed. Elbows. I get it if/when a surgeon cuts me for a procedure, on the incision site. This is called "koebner phenomenon" or "koebner effect."

A sunburn can also set off a psoriasis flare.
Any type of trauma to the skin can set off a flare of psoriasis.
