subject: Pollen Problems and Skin Disorders [print this page] If it is determined that the allergies you are dealing with are causing your psoriasis, there are a number of different things that you can do which will lessen the impact. One thing that may be necessary is for you to have a high quality air filter installed in your home, or at least in the room where you sleep. This not only keeps you from breathing in pollen, it keeps it from being in contact with your skin. It is also a good idea for you to wash your hair before going to bed, as this can keep any pollen that it has accumulated from coming in contact with your scalp. Finally, cover any exposed skin where possible in order to reduce the amount of contact that you have with the outside air.
