On this page, we will discuss some alternatives so you can choose a good scalp psoriasis treatment. First, though, it is important that you know exactly what psoriasis is and what causes it.
So what is psoriasis?
Psoriasis is an unceasing skin condition in which patches of skin anywhere on your body become red, flaky, scaly, and itchy. Between 1% and 3% of people in the world suffer from psoriasis. The most common type of psoriasis is called chronic plaque psoriasis.
The normal skin cell life cycle is about 30 days, whereas in a person who has a psoriasis, the skin cell life cycle is only 3 to 6 days! This is because the T-cells (a type of white blood cell, integral part of the immune system) attack the skin cells, causing them to develop at a much faster rate. This excess skin has nowhere to go but to the surface, resulting in the scaly rash-like appearance on the skin.
So what is a good scalp psoriasis treatment?
Gels, lotions, and other solutions are good to use a scalp psoriasis treatment, since they are easier to apply to affected areas than ointments and creams. Ointments and creams tend to leave an oily appearance to and are harder to wash out of the hair too, so try to stay away from them.
Doctors will often prescribe a steroid based gel as a scalp psoriasis treatment. These work well; however, the effect of steroids on the skin tends to wear off through excessive use, so you should stay away from steroids as well.
Doctors may also prescribe some sort of pills or injections as a scalp psoriasis treatment, but if you have ever tried these, you would know that they are not cheap, they do not work 100% of the time, and they often have negative side-effects. But give them a try, as they may work for you.
