Scalp Psoriasis Quick Guide

A man with long hair pulled back and a beard looks at himself in the mirror and smiles.

It can be tough to manage scalp psoriasis. Psoriasis plaques on your scalp may be itchy, flaky, and awkward to treat. When scalp psoriasis is blocked by the hair, finding a safe and effective treatment can get even trickier.

But living with scalp psoriasis does not mean you can’t care for your hair while managing scale buildup. Request your Scalp Psoriasis Quick Guide for tips on dealing with itch and information on what treatments or products might be right for you.
