A member asked:

Is there any certain sports i should do or ovoid while i have psoriasis ?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Psoriasis : Psoriasis is often made worse on areas that are rubbed with friction and pressure. Helmets may cause scalp lesions to flare. Pads on elbows and knees may also worsen psoriasis in those areas. You should not have to restrict sports. See a dermatologist to get the best treatment.
