Scalp psoriasis is often considered difficult to treat due to the challenges in applying topical treatments effectively and the potential for hair interference.
The exact cause of psoriasis is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic, immune system, and environmental factors.
To stop psoriasis from spreading, manage stress, eat a balanced diet, avoid smoking, protect skin etc.
While psoriasis severity isn't predetermined by age, few age-related changes can make managing it more complex.
Psoriasis does not necessarily mean a weak immune system, but it involves immune system dysfunction, where it mistakenly attacks healthy skin cells.
Psoriasis can be treated with light therapy, topical treatments, medications and lifestyle changes.
Psoriasis is usually diagnosed through Physical Examination but in some cases, additional tests(skin biopsy) might be needed to confirm diagnosis or rule out other conditions.
The symptoms of psoriasis include Thickened or pitted nails, Silvery scales on the skin surface, Dry, cracked skin that may bleed, Red, raised, inflamed patches of skin etc.
