A Self-Resolving Flare of Psoriasis after COVID-19 Vaccination

Abstract

Flares of autoimmune disorders have been rarely reported after COVID-19 infection as well as vaccinations. The authors report a case of psoriasis flare after COVID-19 vaccination, which was successfully treated with topical steroids. This case illustrates that although autoimmune disease flares might be seen post-vaccination, they are usually mild and self-resolving. Therefore, based on overall safety and efficacy, COVID-19 vaccination is strongly encouraged in vulnerable patient populations.
