Scalp Psoriasis Versus Seborrheic Dermatitis
The symptoms of scalp psoriasis may look like those of seborrheic dermatitis, often known as dandruff. As a result, healthcare providers tend to misdiagnose this condition. In general, seborrheic dermatitis leads to greasy, dry, or small flakes on the scalp. The affected area would be itchy, discoloured, and covered with fine scales as well. In addition, people with seborrheic dermatitis may notice symptoms around their groin, back, mid-chest, armpits, nose, as well as the eyebrows. [4]
