Tips to Shave Safely With Psoriasis
When you have psoriasis, seemingly simple tasks can become potentially perilous undertakings. Everyday grooming, for example, can trigger an outbreak of plaques, thus complicating your psoriasis management plan.

Hair removal, especially, may lead to skin irritation and even bleeding, which can in turn cause a psoriasis flare. This reaction — called the Koebner phenomenon, after the doctor who first identified it — is when a minor skin injury, such as a cut or a sunburn, results in a new psoriasis lesion on the site of the affected area.

About half of all people with psoriasis experience the Koebner phenomenon at some point, and about 10 percent will see it every time they get a cut or other trauma.
