Scalp Psoriasis: Causes & Symptoms

Signs and Symptoms of Scalp Psoriasis

The severity of scalp psoriasis typically varies over time. It can spread to a person’s forehead, neck, and ears. People often experience flare-ups due to negligence, which makes their symptoms worse. Some people may confuse this scaly and dry skin with dandruff, which is a different condition. In contrast to dandruff, scalp psoriasis causes a general ‘silvery sheen’ in the hair and the silvery scales are easily detectable.

Other common symptoms include:

• Reddish patches on the scalp: Some patches are barely noticeable. Patches can also be inflamed, thick, and very noticeable.
• Dry scalp: The scalp may get very dry and lead the skin to crack and bleed.
• Itching: One of the most common and bothersome symptoms is itching. While for some, the itch is mild; others may have intense itching that can interfere with everyday life and cause sleepless nights.
• Bleeding: Because scalp psoriasis can be very itchy, frequent scratching may make the scalp bleed. Scratching also tends to worsen psoriasis. It can make the patches thicker and larger. That is why doctors advise their patients to try not to scratch.
• Burning sensation or soreness: Along with itching, burning in the lesions can also be present to a marked degree and may feel very sore.
• Temporary hair loss. Scratching the scalp or removing the scales with force can cause hair loss. After the scalp psoriasis clears, hair usually re-grows.

Things can be difficult for those who are diagnosed with scalp psoriasis. They may have to work every day to control the flakes, itch and pain. But remember, we have many treatment options and ways to make one feel better.

Since there is no cure for psoriasis, treatments are designed to alleviate symptoms or prevent a recurrence. Tracking scalp psoriasis cause/s is the first step in reducing flares. It allows the doctor to identify the substances or events that instigate symptoms so that a patient can avoid them.

Homeopathy for Scalp Psoriasis

Scalp psoriasis can be treated wonderfully with homeopathy. Homeopathy treatment provides mild, safe remedies that treat scalp psoriasis gently with zero side effects. Homeopathy moderates the immune system of the body, thus preventing quick multiplication of the skin cells and brings excellent recoveries from scalp psoriasis. With this treatment, inflammation, redness, and scales on the scalp get reduced markedly. The psoriatic patches tend to heal and their further growth is well controlled. Itching, burning sensation on the scalp, and associated hair fall also get magnificently managed with its help. Homeopathy for scalp psoriasis is selected individually for every case of scalp psoriasis as per the constitution of the person to yield the best results.

Homeopathy treatment for scalp psoriasis helps with the appearance as well as the experience of psoriasis. In many instances, it heals and transforms on a deeper level. An improvement on an emotional and more general level is also observed. A report published in the British Medical Journal suggested that homeopathy yielded an 87% success rate, which is encouraging, despite the severity of the pathology, and can be used as an effective therapy for the management of chronic scalp psoriasis.
