Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease resulting from a disorder in the immune system, in which the body attacks skin cells. While there is a genetic background to the outbreak of the disease, it is exacerbated by various environmental and physical factors, including stress and pressure, food allergies, poor fatty nutrition, alcohol consumption, taking certain medications, poor hygiene, and infectious skin injuries.

The classic manifestation of psoriasis is in the area of the elbows, knees, and intimate areas. Subsequently, the disease usually takes over the scalp, and when it comes to scalp psoriasis, it initially appears at the hairline, along the forehead border, the nape, and behind the ears. After some time, the disease attacks the entire scalp and leads to a condition where the scalp becomes sensitive to touch to the point of bleeding from light combing.
This condition disrupts the hair growth mechanism and may even cause hair loss in the affected areas.

Can Scalp Psoriasis Be Treated?

As with autoimmune diseases, it is not always possible to predict the timing, intensity, or duration of the disease outbreak on the scalp.
Treatment for scalp psoriasis must be carried out through understanding the overall problem in the immune system and in combination with local treatment for the hair follicles. The process must begin with a comprehensive diagnosis of the hair and scalp. Only an in-depth microscopic diagnosis and comprehensive medical inquiry to clarify the source of the impact can determine whether the treatment will help and to what extent.

After examining the diagnostic findings, we can tailor a dedicated treatment for healing the scalp and hair in combination with a unique balancing plan: dietary supplements and proper nutrition to create balance in the body’s supporting systems.
