Chlorine and excessive water exposure can potentially worsen psoriasis for some individuals. Chlorine, commonly found in Swimming Pools, may irritate the skin, leading to increased dryness and flare-ups. Additionally, prolonged exposure to water can strip natural oils from the skin, exacerbating dryness and inflammation associated with psoriasis. It's important for those with psoriasis to find a balance and use moisturizers to help mitigate these effects.
