Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that affects the skin and can cause red, scaly patches that are often itchy and painful. The duration of a psoriasis flare can vary depending on the severity of the condition and the individual's response to treatment. In general, a flare can last anywhere from a few weeks to several months.
