Psoriasis flare-ups vary in pattern and severity based on triggers including stress, infections, skin injuries via Koebner phenomenon, cold weather, and certain medications. CareClinic users log plaque locations using body maps, rate scaling and itching severity, track percentage of body surface area affected, and document treatments from topical steroids to biologics like Humira or Skyrizi. The Psoriasis symptom tracker is especially helpful for correlating medication response timing, identifying lifestyle triggers like alcohol or smoking, and monitoring joint pain that may indicate psoriatic arthritis development.
Track phototherapy sessions with UV exposure doses, document skin biopsy results, and monitor nail changes including pitting or separation. Log responses to different topical preparations and their bases whether ointment, cream, or foam. Document quality of life impact using dermatology-specific scales. Learn more about psoriasis management strategies and how detailed tracking helps dermatologists adjust systemic treatments and identify early signs of complications.
