Psoriasis on Scalp Specialist

Symptoms, Diagnosis and Key Treatment Options

Scalp psoriasis can present as fine scaling similar to dandruff, thick crusted plaques, redness, itching, or tenderness. Accurate diagnosis distinguishes it from seborrheic dermatitis, tinea capitis, or folliculitis. Evaluation covers medical history, triggers, and hair and scalp condition.

• Medicated topicals such as corticosteroids or vitamin D analogues, often with scale-softening agents.
• Targeted phototherapy to reduce inflammation and slow excess skin cell growth.
• Regenerative therapies including PRP, i-PRF, GFC, or exosome therapy to support scalp health.
• Gentle hair care routines with anti-inflammatory regimens.

Where hair thinning occurs, options may include female hair transplant or scalp micropigmentation after assessment.

Personalised Planning and Patient Privacy

Treatment is tailored to severity, flare frequency, and lifestyle. Dr. Sahoo may combine medical control with regenerative techniques for long-term scalp health. Photos are shared only with patient consent and stored securely.

Appointments have flexible scheduling. Virtual consultations are available for patients outside clinic areas, with follow-ups possible without travel. Clinic hours are 10 am to 6 pm, booking in advance is advised.

Managing Associated Scalp Conditions

Psoriasis may overlap with other scalp issues, causing secondary infections or hair breakage. Specialist care can include seborrheic dermatitis treatment, scarring alopecia treatment, or folliculitis management.

• Early diagnosis avoids medication misuse that may worsen symptoms.
• Integrated care helps reduce recurrence risk.
• Hair restoration can improve cosmetic appearance.
