Prevenção

Não há uma maneira conhecida de prevenir a psoríase. Manter a pele limpa e hidratada e evitar os desencadeadores específicos de psoríase pode ajudar a reduzir o número de manifestações.

Os médicos recomendam banhos diários para as pessoas com psoríase. Evite esfregar a pele com muita força, porque isso pode irritar a pele e desencadear um ataque.
