Scalp Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition that affects the scalp, causing red patches, thick silvery scales, persistent itching, and irritation. It can range from mild scaling that resembles dandruff to severe plaques covering large areas of the scalp. Although scalp psoriasis is not contagious, it can significantly impact comfort, confidence, and quality of life. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can help control symptoms, reduce flare-ups, and improve scalp health.
