Alcohol Reduction
for Psoriasis
Reducing or eliminating alcohol to reduce psoriasis severity and improve response to treatments.
How it works
Alcohol promotes systemic inflammation, impairs the immune regulation that keeps psoriasis in check and reduces the effectiveness of many psoriasis treatments.
What to watch for
Heavy alcohol use significantly worsens psoriasis and reduces treatment efficacy. Even moderate reduction shows benefit. Alcohol also interacts with methotrexate if used for psoriasis.
