Probably yes. There are several reports in the medical literature of psoriasis flare-ups after both COVID itself and following COVID vaccines. If you believe this has happened, get in touch withthe clinic or doctor managing your psoriasis. Good luck.

Yes. COVID related stress has caused psoriasis flare ups. The anxiety and depression of COVID has also caused flare ups.
