Personalised Care for Healthier Scalp and Relief
Book your AppointmentScalp psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition. It leads to thick, scaly patches on the scalp, often causing itching, redness, and discomfort. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly triggers rapid skin cell growth, leading to plaque formation and inflammation.
Managing scalp psoriasis requires a holistic approach that addresses skin health, immune response, and external triggers. While symptoms may come and go, the proper treatment can help control flare-ups, reduce scaling, and improve scalp condition over time.

Scalp psoriasis is a form of psoriasis that affects the scalp. It leads to flaky skin, inflammation, and excessive scaling. It can extend beyond the hairline, forehead, and back of the neck, causing persistent discomfort.
Chronic & Recurrent
Symptoms flare up and subside periodically
Not Contagious
Scalp psoriasis does not spread from person to person
Linked to Autoimmunity
The immune system mistakenly speeds up skin cell production and leads to plaque formation
Scalp psoriasis may resemble dandruff but is much thicker and more persistent. In severe cases, it can lead to dry, scaly or bleeding skin
Homeopathy treats scalp psoriasis holistically by addressing its root cause, regulating immune responses, and providing long-term relief. Here's how the treatment works:
Severe Itching & Irritation
Persistent itching may lead to cracking, bleeding, or soreness.
Flaking & Shedding
Dead skin flakes off, sometimes appearing on clothing.
Hair Loss
Frequent scratching and inflammation may weaken hair roots, leading to temporary hair shedding.

Clinical Examination
A dermatologist inspects the scalp for red patches, scaling, inflammation, and flaking to identify psoriasis
Video-Microscopy Test
A specialised and painless scalp analysis helps assess the severity and monitor treatment progress
Differential Diagnosis
Doctors rule out conditions like seborrheic dermatitis and eczema, which may have similar symptoms
Medical & Family History
Understanding genetic predisposition and triggers like stress, infections, or immune system issues aids in accurate diagnosis
Skin Biopsy (If Needed)
A small skin sample is examined under a microscope to confirm psoriasis and is recommended rarely
Scalp psoriasis can range from mild to severe, affecting individuals differently:
Scalp psoriasis can affect people of all ages, but it is more common in individuals aged 15-35. Genetics play a significant role, and those with a family history of psoriasis are at higher risk. Stress, infections, cold weather, or lifestyle factors can also trigger it. Homeopathy offers safe, long-term management for all age groups.
While scalp psoriasis isn't permanently curable, proper care can control symptoms and prevent flare-ups:
Moisturisers & Oils
Soothe dryness and irritation
Medicated Shampoos
Help reduce scaling and plaque buildup
Light Therapy
Uses UV light to calm inflammation
Diet & Lifestyle
Healthy eating and stress management aid recovery
Homeopathy
Balances immunity, reduces flare-ups and prevents recurrences
Consistent care can help maintain a healthier, itch-free scalp
Dandruff causes white, oily flakes and mild itching, while scalp psoriasis leads to thick, silvery scales, redness, and intense itching. Psoriasis may also extend beyond the hairline and cause soreness. If unsure, consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis.
No, scalp psoriasis is not contagious. It is an autoimmune condition where the immune system triggers rapid skin cell buildup, leading to scaling and inflammation. It cannot spread through physical contact, shared items, or personal interactions.
Homeopathy is a natural and effective treatment for scalp psoriasis, addressing the root cause by balancing the immune system and reducing inflammation. It offers long-term relief without side effects and is personalised to individual symptoms.
Other treatment options include medicated shampoos, topical steroids, light therapy, and oral medications to manage symptoms. Consulting a professional is essential for the best treatment approach
Common triggers include stress, infections, hormonal changes, cold weather, smoking, and harsh hair products. Prevent flare-ups by maintaining a healthy lifestyle, reducing stress, avoiding irritants, and using gentle hair care products.
Scalp psoriasis doesn't cause permanent hair loss, but severe itching, scratching, and inflammation can weaken hair follicles, leading to temporary shedding. Once symptoms are controlled, proper treatment and care help restore hair growth.
Results vary based on severity and treatment type. Mild cases may improve within weeks, while moderate to severe cases can take months. Consistent treatment and lifestyle changes help achieve long-term relief.
Homeopathic remedies for an itchy scalp include Sulphur, Graphites, Mezereum, and Psorinum, depending on the underlying cause. These remedies help reduce itching, flaking, and irritation by addressing the root issue. However, it is essential to consult a professional homeopath for a personalised treatment plan
