The Koebner phenomenon describes the occurrence of psoriasis lesions at the site of skin injuries such as cuts, scrapes, or sunburns. This response highlights the skin's sensitivity to trauma and the importance of protecting it from harm. Gentle skin care routines, avoiding harsh exfoliants, and taking precautions during activities that might lead to injury are essential strategies. Additionally, using protective gear and being mindful of potential hazards can help prevent trauma-induced flare-ups. Understanding this aspect of psoriasis can lead to more proactive and preventive skin care practices.

Quality sleep is vital for overall health, and its disruption can worsen psoriasis. Poor sleep can elevate stress levels and weaken the immune system, both of which are detrimental to psoriasis management. Sleep disorders, such as insomnia or sleep apnea, may also contribute to more frequent flare-ups. Establishing a consistent sleep routine, creating a restful environment, and addressing sleep disorders with professional help can improve sleep quality. Prioritizing rest and recovery not only benefits skin health but also enhances physical and mental well-being, offering a comprehensive approach to managing psoriasis.
