Scalp Psoriasis: Causes, Symptoms, Treatment, and More

Signs and Symptoms of Scalp Psoriasis

In mild cases, scalp psoriasis may only cause scaly, small, and itchy patches of skin on the scalp. These areas may be discoloured and dry with extreme itchiness. You may also feel pain or a burning feeling. Temporary hair loss would occur in the affected areas as well, especially if you irritate or scratch too much. Even worse, scratching may lead to infection and bleeding. The symptoms may spread to surrounding parts, such as the ears, neck, and forehead. [3]
