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." Koebner phenomenon: http://psoriasis.about.com/od/preven...nerization.htm A sunburn can also set off a psoriasis flare. Any type of trauma to the skin can set off a flare of psoriasis.  DejaVu |
