I too find the winter does a lot to my psoriasis, it feels like it has been cut, or burnt...and peels terrible.

My psoriasis comes and goes - it clears a bit and then can be brutal. I'm finding the changes of the weather in Ontario is really affecting my skin this year.

The weather change during the past month in Ontario has made my skin react horribly. Thanks to UVB treatment i was clear for about 2 years until now. Moist, rainy, cool weather is bad for psoriasis. The winters are horrible. I feel if we all just keep at it with our current treatment and take good care of ourselves, it will all turn out fine.

I hate how cold weather has the ability to control my life. It controls what I wear, where and when I go places, how I feel, etc etc. The cold makes my skin crack and I've spent days in pain to the point I don't wanna move at all. Because of the cold people put heaters on in the car/home which dries my skin out and makes it more noticeable and flaky. So it's either be cold and in pain or be warm and hope that nobody notices me.

I hate cold and winter. My psoriasis flares up badly. I feel like my skin is always peeling and I can't stop scratching at it because it's irritated and so dry.
