Psoriasis is a bothersome condition and to complicate matters, it can not only show up on your body but also your scalp. Scalp psoriasis is something which affects more than 50% of those who have psoriasis. It varies from what seems to be dandruff flakes to red scaly lesions which can run down the hairline, to the forehead, ears, or even down the face. Usually these scaly layers of dead skin cells result in a lot of itchiness and a feeling of tightness on the scalp. Itching the area only worsens the situation as it can cause bleeding and can lead to embarrassing situations as the flaking of skin is akin to dandruff.
As a result of the scalp psoriasis many are left feeling self-conscious as to whether anyone is noticing them constantly itching at their scalp or the flakes of skin which fall off as they scratch. It is for these reasons that a cure for this dreaded condition is so eagerly sought out, but what can be done?
As far as what you can do immediately, it is helpful to wash your hair on a daily basis. This keeps your scalp as clean as possible and stops any excessive build up of flaking skin. If possible it is also helpful to expose your scalp to the sun. This goes back to the notion of light therapy as being a method of treating psoriasis, although you should be careful not to get sunburned as if your skin is injured, scalp psoriasis will have a tendency to develop there.
When it comes to medicinal treatment for scalp psoriasis, your best bet are psoriasis shampoos or oil based treatment. Those will seep into your scalp and take effect whereas a cream or ointment may be too cumbersome to apply. Additionally, an oil based treatment will help to keep your skin hydrated, in the end the best approach may be a combination of treatments.
Continual use of natural psoriasis treatment methods should alleviate and heal your scalp psoriasis. A combination of a psoriasis shampoo and essential oil product will be your best bet in clearing your condition.

psoriasis Evaluation de la qualite de vie

1. kimmy (16:14, 23.02.2009)

I have been dealing with this for about 7 years now & it actually went away while I was pregnant but came back afte giving birth. I'm wondering if it is related to hormones or food allergies because I did not have coffee during my pregnancy. I stopped coffee after it came back & it went away again. I recently stopped coffee yet again & it is still there but not as severe. It doesn't crack & ooze anymore but still flaking badly & itching. Coffee seems to have some affect on it somehow. Anyway, just wanted to pose this thought.
