Psoriasis is a common skin condition marked by red, inflamed patches on areas like the scalp, knees, and elbows. While not a serious health risk, it can disrupt daily life with intense itching, pain, and occasional bleeding.
The exact cause remains unclear, but experts point to a mix of genetic predisposition, environmental triggers, and autoimmune responses. Factors like psychological stress (anxiety, fatigue), physical stress (injuries, infections, medications, surgery), or other influences often play a role.
Dealing with scalp psoriasis and persistent itching? Choose gentle shampoos from pharmacies or drugstores. These formulas use milder cleansing agents that produce less foam, minimizing irritation—a common flare-up trigger.
Additionally, avoid hot water during hair washing, as it dilates blood vessels, heightens inflammation, and worsens itching.
