What Is Scalp Psoriasis?

Scalp psoriasis is an extension of psoriasis, a chronic autoimmune disease that causes skin cells to multiply rapidly. These cells form thick, scaly patches of skin that often appear on the scalp. These patches, known as plaques, can be red, itchy, and covered in silvery scales.

Scalp psoriasis can affect just a small area of the scalp but may also spread to cover larger areas, potentially extending to the forehead, neck, or behind the ears. Its scaling can be mild with light scaling or severe with thick, crusted plaques forming. Although chronic, scalp psoriasis is manageable with proper care.

How TrichoLab is different

Scalp Psoriasis Symptoms

The symptoms of scalp psoriasis can vary depending on the severity of the condition. Common symptoms include:

  • Red patches of skin

  • Itching and irritation

  • Dryness

  • Flaking and dandruff-like scaling

  • Temporary hair loss

Scalp Psoriasis Causes

Several factors contribute to the development of scalp psoriasis, including:

Genetics

Family history has a role in the likelihood of developing scalp psoriasis. If one or both of your parents have psoriasis, you are more likely to inherit the condition. Psoriasis is a genetically linked autoimmune disorder, and specific genes that regulate the immune system can predispose an individual to the disease.

Immune System Dysfunction

The immune system’s malfunction results in chronic inflammation, causing redness, irritation, and scaling on the scalp. Scalp psoriasis is primarily an autoimmune condition, meaning the body’s immune system erroneously attacks healthy skin cells. In individuals with scalp psoriasis, the immune system is overactive, rapidly producing new skin cells.

Normally, skin cells take around 28 to 30 days to regenerate, but in psoriasis, new skin cells are produced in 3 to 4 days. This rapid cell turnover leads to the buildup of dead skin cells on the surface, which appears as the characteristic scaly patches of psoriasis.

Infections

Certain infections, particularly strep throat (caused by streptococcal bacteria), are known triggers for scalp psoriasis, especially in people who are genetically predisposed to the condition. Infections can weaken the immune system, causing an immune response that can lead to a flare-up.

Other infections, such as upper respiratory tract infections, colds or skin infections, can also trigger psoriasis by putting extra stress on the body’s immune system.

Lifestyle Choices

Certain lifestyle factors can worsen scalp psoriasis. Smoking can trigger and exacerbate psoriasis, as it increases inflammation and weakens the immune system.

Heavy alcohol consumption is another risk factor, as alcohol is a known inflammatory substance that can interfere with the effectiveness of psoriasis treatments. Moreover, a poor diet that is high in processed foods, sugars, and unhealthy fats can fuel inflammation in the body, making psoriasis symptoms more severe.

Scalp Psoriasis Treatment & Care

While there is no cure for scalp psoriasis, treatment can help control its symptoms and prevent flare-ups. TrichoLab’s Psoriasis Rescue Treatment has been developed by our hair care experts to relieve and promote a healthier scalp.

Psoriasis Rescue combines a nourishing scalp mask and soothing fluid made from botanical extracts and scientifically backed ingredients that target the critical symptoms of scalp psoriasis. It uses a multi-step approach to relieve itching, scaling, and inflammation. The treatment includes:

  • Scalp Nourishing Mask: This mask deeply moisturises and soothes the scalp, providing hydration to dry, irritated skin.

  • Soothing Fluid: Designed to calm inflammation, this fluid helps clear scalp buildup and remove scales while alleviating itchiness.

Key Benefits of TrichoLab's Psoriasis Rescue Treatment

Our professionals may prescribe topical treatments together with Psoriasis Rescue treatment for optimal results.

  • Moisturises and soothes the scalp: Helps replenish moisture and restore the scalp’s natural barrier.

  • Removes scales: Gently lifts scales and prevents further buildup.

  • Reduces discolouration and scaling: Helps reduce the appearance of red, inflamed patches.

  • Relieves itching: Provides relief from the most bothersome symptom of psoriasis.

What to Avoid If You Have Scalp Psoriasis

After you have gone for treatment, you may be wary of dealing with psoriasis symptoms again and hope to prevent any flare ups. To manage scalp psoriasis you would have to consciously avoid triggers like those below.

  • Harsh shampoos: Avoid sulphates, parabens, or fragrances, as these can strip the scalp of moisture and irritate sensitive skin.

  • Hair dyes and chemical treatments: These can cause flare-ups due to their strong chemicals, which can irritate the already inflamed scalp.

  • Heavy styling products: Gels, waxes, and sprays can build up on the scalp and worsen scaling.

  • Processed foods: These are often high in trans fats, sugars, and artificial additives, which can trigger inflammation.

  • Red meat: Red meat contains saturated fats and can promote inflammation.

  • Dairy products: For some people, dairy can trigger flare-ups.

  • Alcohol: Alcohol consumption is linked to psoriasis flare-ups as it can affect the body’s immune response.

  • Chronic stress: Psychological stress is a significant trigger for psoriasis flare-ups. Handling stress through relaxation techniques like meditation, deep breathing, and exercise can help prevent flare-ups.

  • Sleep deprivation: Poor sleep can affect your immune system and increase stress levels, worsening psoriasis symptoms. Ensure you get adequate rest to help control flare-ups.

  • Medications that trigger psoriasis: Some medications, like beta-blockers (used for high blood pressure), lithium (for mental health conditions), and antimalarial drugs, are known to trigger or worsen psoriasis. Consult your doctor if you’re taking these medications and experiencing flare-ups.

  • Steroid overuse: Over-reliance on topical steroids for psoriasis treatment may lead to thinning skin and worsened symptoms when used long-term, so it’s important to follow medical advice on proper use.

At-home tips for scalp psoriasis

Besides avoiding triggers, you can also start optimising your haircare routine.

Apply topical treatments

Try applying aloe vera gel or coconut oil to soothe the scalp and provide moisture. These can help relieve mild itching and inflammation, although they may not be as effective for severe psoriasis.

Moisturise regularly

Regular moisturising can help soften scales and relieve itching. After washing your hair with medicated shampoos, follow up with a gentle, fragrance-free conditioner to lock in moisture.

Practise gentle hair care

When brushing your hair, use a wide-tooth comb to avoid pulling at plaques, and avoid scratching your scalp as it can irritate and increase the risk of infection.

Take lukewarm showers

Hot water can strip moisture from your scalp and dry out your skin, leading to more irritation. Instead, use lukewarm water when washing your hair or taking a shower to prevent drying out the scalp further.

Use humidifiers

Dry air can worsen scalp psoriasis symptoms. Having a humidifier at home can keep the air moist, preventing your scalp from becoming too dry.

Stay consistent with treatment

Be consistent with professional treatments, including applying any topical solutions prescribed, even when symptoms improve. Consistency helps prevent flare-ups and keeps your scalp in better condition long-term.

Before your first session.

How often should I wash my hair if I have scalp psoriasis?

It’s usually recommended to wash your hair 2-3 times a week with a medicated shampoo designed to treat psoriasis. However, over-washing can dry out the scalp, so balance is critical.

How do I take care of my scalp psoriasis?

Use a gentle, medicated shampoo specifically formulated for psoriasis. Follow up with moisturising conditioners and avoid scratching the scalp, which can cause hair loss or infection. Regular scalp treatments, like TrichoLab’s Psoriasis Rescue Treatment, can also help manage symptoms by soothing the scalp and reducing buildup.

How do you know if it is psoriasis or not?

Scalp psoriasis is typically characterised by thick, red, scaly patches that can extend beyond the scalp. It’s often accompanied by itching and flaking, which can be mistaken for dandruff. A hair expert can diagnose your condition accurately by examining your scalp.

What is the difference between Scalp Psoriasis & Scalp Eczema?

Scalp eczema (seborrheic dermatitis) and scalp psoriasis can cause red, scaly patches, but there are some key differences. Scalp eczema tends to have greasy, yellowish scales, while psoriasis has thicker, silver-white scales. Psoriasis is often more chronic and linked to autoimmune issues, while environmental factors like weather and allergens can trigger eczema.
