Psoriasis on Scalp Specialist

Treatment Options and Planning

Scalp psoriasis may present with scaling, redness, itching, or plaques near the hairline. Specialist assessment confirms the diagnosis and rules out similar conditions like seborrheic dermatitis or tinea capitis. At Alloroots, treatment is tailored to severity, spread, and triggers.

• Topical medicines including corticosteroids, vitamin D analogues, or tar preparations based on tolerance
• Medicated shampoos to reduce scaling and irritation
• Procedures such as phototherapy or Dermapen-assisted delivery for resistant areas
• Regenerative treatments like PRP, i-PRF, or GFC to aid scalp healing
• Systemic medicines prescribed only when needed, with monitoring

Appointments are planned to avoid conflicts between topical and systemic care. Clinic hours are weekdays 9 am to 6 pm, with some Saturday follow-up slots.

Integrating Hair and Scalp Care

Psoriasis inflammation can cause hair shedding. Once symptoms are managed, hair restoration may be considered, including male hair transplant or female hair loss treatment, when suitable. These are offered only after scalp stability.

Other scalp conditions like folliculitis or scarring alopecia can occur alongside psoriasis. Addressing them together may lower flare risk during hair procedures.

When to Consult a Specialist

Consult a psoriasis on scalp specialist if:

• Scaling affects large areas or persists despite over-the-counter care
• Pain, bleeding, or infection signs appear
• Hair shedding increases around plaques
• Grooming is difficult or confidence declines
• Previous treatments caused irritation or failed

Early consultation can reduce flares and improve comfort. Online appointments are available across India before in-clinic procedures.
