See your doctor: One of the best ways to manage psoriasis is to consult with your dermatologist. This chronic condition cannot be cured but symptoms can be reduced with a combination of trigger identification, lifestyle modifications, and medication or light therapies.

Avoid triggers: Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease that affects the skin, usually chronic where patients learn about some triggers for their flares, for example alcohol intake, stress, etc. Also there are multiple topical treatments and other treatments depending of where and extent of the psoriasis. I always mention as well other causes linked to psoriasis like HIV should be investigated.
