Like seborrhoeic dermatitis and dandruff, scalp psoriasis can also make the scalp extremely dry and itchy. Those with this condition may also develop red, scaly skin on their neck and the head of their neck. Your head will feel dry, red, irritated, and inflamed and will also cause flaking, dandruff and hair loss if you’re suffering from its symptoms.

Making some simple changes to your hair care routine and choosing medicated or specially designed anti-dandruff shampoo and conditioner will help alleviate your symptoms.

Symptoms of scalp psoriasis

●       An extremely dry, itchy scalp

●       Burning sensation or soreness on the scalp

●       Bleeding or cracked skin from having a dry scalp or from scratching too much

●       Temporary hair loss if you try to pick off your scales or you excessively touch your scalp which will result in removing hair follicles.

 

What do shampoo and conditioner do for your hair?

 

Psoriasis shampoo and conditioners are designed to relieve inflammation in the scalp by removing dead skin cells and build-up. This makes it difficult for other hair conditioning treatment products like serums and masks to penetrate deeply into the skin and maintain a healthy moisture balance.

 

Psoriasis shampoo has a gentle formula that acts as an accessible scalp treatment which helps maintain the pH balance of your skin and doesn’t strip away the scalp and hair's vital oils.

 

Medicated products such as Sulfur8 scalp conditioner and shampoo are available that contain strong chemicals to treat the scalp and relieve itchy scalp. The Sulfur8 product range includes specially designed anti-dandruff shampoo and conditioner that help soothe dry, irritated scalp, offer anti-dandruff and itch control, repair dry, damaged hair and ensure healthy hair growth.




 

 You can use some gentle, natural shampoo and conditioner such as Cantu Shea Butter range or Shea Moisture Curl & Shine Shampoo and Conditioner that are free from chemicals and are gentle for your scalp.

You can also consult your dermatologist because they will suggest the best treatment product for your scalp psoriasis. They will suggest whether you will have to use medicated products or gentle everyday shampoo to treat the scalp and care for your hair.

 

Things to be avoided if you have scalp psoriasis

 

1.    Dry, cold weather

The weather conditions have a big impact on psoriasis. Dry, cold weather can make the condition worse. So make sure you consider getting a humidifier to take the edge off the dry hair and to wrap up warm in winter weather.

 

2.    Dry skin

Keep your scalp and hair moisturised and hydrated by using moisturising shampoo and conditioner every time you wash your hair. We recommend using Aphogee protein treatment

 


that contains proteins and other essential nutrients to help restore and repair during the styling process.

 

3.    Itching and scratching

Never scratch or pick at scales or sore patches of the skin. Doing this will make the condition worse and will lead to bleeding.

 

4.    Stress

Try to reduce anxiety and stress because stress is often linked with flare-ups. Yoga and meditation are good places to start to overcome stress.

 

5.    Alcohol

Try to drink in moderation because excessive alcohol consumption is thought to worsen the symptoms of psoriasis. If you are taking psoriasis medication, ask your doctor or check whether it’s okay to drink alcohol along with the medicines.

 

6.    Certain medications

Before starting any treatment tell your doctor about any medication you take and ask whether it might affect your psoriasis or not.

 

Scalp psoriasis is a rare skin disorder, affecting about 3% of the total population. It’s very important that you indulge in medicated products or see your dermatologist in order to get it diagnosed properly and treat the underlying condition to avoid further scalp flaking disorder.

If you're like most people, shampoo and conditioner are the last things you think about when it comes to taking care of your hair. But there are a few things to remember when choosing what to use on your locks. Here are some tips:   Shampoo vs Conditioner: What Does Each Do?   Shampooing is an essential hygiene step, while conditioning is often considered a luxury. However, both products have their benefits. Conditioners are designed to replenish and condition the hair, while shampoos remove the scalp dirt, oil, and sweat.   Shampooing can help eliminate scalp irritation and dandruff, whereas conditioning helps restore moisture balance and strengthen hair shafts.
