Funny you should happen to mention *psoriasis; I'VE suffered from this unsightly skin condition for at least 35 years ... mainly on my shins and elbows ... and, although widely BELIEVED to be stress-related, I DO think there's a corelation between *it and the weather. On each of the two occasions I was in the Philippines, for instance, the flaky, whitish-silver patchy "scales" associated with the condition seemed to all but vanish ... probably due to the dermatalogical effects of the sun's ultra-violet rays on the uncovered skin's surface.

There are several risk factors for psoriasis which do include stress, and the weather (dry, cold, lack of sunlight), so Arthur and gparry2007 you're both right !

same here (more on scalp)..mine started when we moved to manila and start high school..mine is more due to stress i can say as it flares up if theres changes in my environment, stress at work and lack of sleep...sometimes if i use different shampoo or lotion...cetaphil moisturiser helps a bit for me...some of my relatives have it as well so i know its genetic..i just hope my baby wont get it as it is annoying and depressing at times...but the good thing is i know how to handle it now
