What is scalp psoriasis
Scalp psoriasis is a long-term inflammatory skin condition that causes red, scaly patches on the scalp. It can range from mild flaking to thicker plaques that may extend beyond the hairline. Symptoms often include itching, soreness, and visible scaling.
Psoriasis tends to flare and settle over time and may be triggered by stress, illness, skin irritation, or changes in routine. While it isn’t contagious, it can be uncomfortable and affect confidence.
Managing scalp psoriasis effectively focuses on calming inflammation, reducing scaling, and helping keep symptoms under control. Our service provides professional assessment and access to targeted treatment to help you manage flare-ups safely and effectively.
