Studies I have read over the years show how smoking might affect psoriasis on a biological level are complicated by the thousands of ingredients in cigarette smoke. Nicotine is a possible culprit in altering the immune system and possibly skin cell growth, as well as directly affecting skin inflammation.
Studies I have read also shows young men who are heavy drinkers are at a higher risk for psoriasis, but other studies have shown that drinking alcohol has a negative effect on clinical response to treatment and on the likelihood of remission."
Studies also show stress from having the disease can be a culprit to more breakouts and over weight causing immune response to change over time. Even strep throat has caused P. in many cases. Strep is a known as a virus, always treated by antibiotics. Does the antibiotics cause the P. due to shutting down all the good bacteria in the second brain the stomach leaving only yeast? ( pyloria) Or is it the swelling in the brain from the fever as antibodies attack the virus? This can be another way to identify causes that make the immune system attack the body. As in psoriatic arthritis and many other autoimmune diseases.
Yet nothing has ever made my P. worse from drinking alcohol or foods. Sunshine or low vit-D3 is a major factor for many immune diseases.
