Psoriasis
Learn more about scalp psoriasis
Psoriasis, commonly known as scalp psoriasis, is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the skin and often manifests on the scalp. While the symptoms of psoriasis may resemble those of seborrheic dermatitis, there are some characteristic differences that make it important to distinguish between the two. Unlike seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis is characterized by thicker, drier, and silvery scales, often accompanied by red patches that may extend beyond the hairline. These scales can be uncomfortable and sometimes even painful, affecting the quality of life of those affected. The underlying cause of psoriasis lies in a misguided immune system response that attacks healthy skin cells, leading to their excessive growth.
Treatment of Psoriasis on the Scalp
Psoriasis is more challenging to treat than seborrheic dermatitis. Treating psoriasis often requires a holistic approach aimed at alleviating symptoms and controlling flare-ups.
RECOMMENDED TREATMENT:
1. Peeling 1.3
2. Lotion 3.4.5B (3 times a week, for the night)
3. Shampoo 1.1/003 Detox (choose one)
4. 007 Cream dermal control (for the night)
5. Lotion 2.4 (in the morning)
It is important to note that treating psoriasis on the scalp often requires individualized adjustment, and it may take some time to find the right combination of products that are most effective for each individual. It is strongly recommended to consult a dermatologist to develop a tailored treatment strategy and monitor progress over time.
