Scalp psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition in which the immune system mistakenly accelerates the growth of skin cells on the scalp. As a result, thick, red patches covered with silvery-white scales begin to form. These patches may be itchy, flaky, sore, or painful, and can sometimes crack or bleed if severely irritated. The condition can affect small areas or spread across the entire scalp, occasionally extending to the forehead, neck, or behind the ears.
Although the appearance can be alarming, scalp psoriasis is not contagious and cannot spread from one person to another. The condition tends to occur in cycles — symptoms may flare up, improve, and then return again. Triggering factors can include stress, weather changes, infections, or certain medications. Scalp psoriasis can significantly affect a person’s comfort and confidence, especially when persistent flakes resemble stubborn dandruff.
While there is no permanent cure, many people experience meaningful relief through proper diagnosis, lifestyle adjustments, and targeted treatment plans tailored to the severity of their symptoms.
