Abstract

Psoriasis, characterized by chronic inflammation, has extreme impact on the condition of life of affected individuals due to its early onset, persistent nature, and both physical and psychosocial consequences. Scalp psoriasis, a prevalent and challenging condition, necessitates effective management to enhance patient quality of life. It impacts approximately 80% of individuals with psoriasis and poses treatment difficulties due to hair presence, limited accessibility, and cosmetic issues associated with topical treatments. Scalp involvement is frequent in psoriasis, presenting a particular challenge for treatment due to difficulties in therapeutic delivery. It is crucial to establish effective treatment approaches for scalp psoriasis to enhance the overall well-being of patients. This discussion explores current perspectives on the handling of scalp psoriasis.
