What is 

Scalp psoriasis

?

Scalp psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that causes red, scaly patches on the scalp. It often leads to itching, flaking, and discomfort. The severity can range from mild scaling to thick, inflamed plaques that extend beyond the hairline.

What causes Scalp psoriasis?

Scalp psoriasis is believed to be an autoimmune condition where the immune system is overreactive and speeds up skin cell production. Factors that can contribute to flare-ups include:

  • Genetic predisposition
  • Stress and anxiety
  • Infections or illness
  • Certain medications
  • Changes in weather, especially cold and dry conditions

How is Scalp psoriasis treated?

Treatment for scalp psoriasis focuses on reducing inflammation, scaling, and itchiness. Common options include:

  • Medicated shampoos containing coal tar or salicylic acid
  • Topical corticosteroids to reduce inflammation
  • Vitamin D analogs to slow skin cell growth
  • Oral and injection treatments to control systemic inflammation for severe causes
  • Non-steroidal creams and ointments
  • Light therapy for severe cases
  • Lifestyle changes, such as reducing stress and avoiding harsh hair products
