Men who have poor resilience to stress during adolescence are at an elevated risk of developing psoriasis later in life, a study revealed.
Stress is a known trigger for several dermatological conditions including acne, urticaria, and psoriasis. Psoriasis occurs when a person's immune system becomes overactive, causing patchy, scaly, and inflamed skin. Patients with psoriasis are also at increased risk of developing Psoriatic arthritis, a chronic form of arthritis with pain, swelling, and stiffness of the joints.
