What is Scalp psoriasis, and how is it different from seborrhoeic dermatitis?
Seborrhoeic dermatitis or dandruff are those dry white flakes falling on your shoulder or clothing, much to your distress. The scales look greasy, white or yellowish and attach to the hair shaft. Psoriasis, on the other hand, has scales that are thicker, drier and silvery often extending beyond the hairline. The thick, powdery plaques could affect the scalp, hairline, forehead, back of the neck and skin around the ears.
Psoriasis is difficult to hide and could be very itchy. Scratching or picking them can create inflammation, bleeding lesions and skin traumas.
Can Scalp psoriasis and seborrhoeic dermatitis overlap?
Yes, Sebopsoriasis is the combination of Scalp psoriasis and seborrhoeic dermatitis. It is thicker, redder and itchier than seborrhoeic dermatitis and less silvery when compared to scalp psoriasis. It can also affect skin folds. Depending on the severity of the condition and its nature, treatments can vary.
