A healthy scalp is important for your own well-being. However, she often faces challenges such as itching , dandruff , or inflammation , which can be distressing. People with the skin disease psoriasis are particularly affected by such symptoms, as the disease can also manifest itself on the scalp.
Symptoms of psoriasis on the scalp
Typical signs of psoriasis on the scalp are reddish, scaly areas and severe itching. The scale formation can vary in severity. Feelings of tension and dryness are also common complaints. Psoriasis can spread throughout the scalp and have a significant impact on everyday life. Regular and, above all, gentle care is therefore particularly important. The symptoms of psoriasis are manifested in the following ways:
- Reddish, flaky patches : Reddish patches or plaques form on the scalp that are dry and flaky. The formation of small, whitish scales is typical of the disease. Their extent can vary.
- Severe itching : A very unpleasant symptom is often severe itching in the affected area.
- Inflammation : If the infestation is more severe, the skin areas may also appear significantly reddened and inflamed.
- Dryness : The skin is rough and brittle because the skin's natural oil barrier is disrupted.
- Feeling of tension : The skin under the scales sometimes feels tight.
-
Spread : The plaques can be spread over the entire scalp. If the infestation is severe, the area around the hairline is also affected.
- Hair loss : Hair can fall out due to dandruff formation in the hair roots.
