As seen in the Express
Clinicbe founder Dr Barbara Kubicka provided expert advice about psoriasis for the Express, outlining the common lifestyle factors that could make it worse.
Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that is characterised by red, scaly and rough patches of skin. The skin can feel itchy, sore or both; making it a very uncomfortable condition for the sufferer.
It is caused by overactive immunity in the body, which causes skin cells to grow too quickly.
Dr Barbara Kubicka MD told the Express:
“It is believed that both genetic and environmental factors play a role in the development of psoriasis.”
She outlined common lifestyle factors that could trigger a worsening in psoriasis symptoms:
- Stress
- Smoking
- Excessive alcohol
- Lack of exercise
- Certain medications
Dr Kubicka explained:
“Certain medications, such as lithium and beta-blockers, can also make psoriasis symptoms worse.”
