Possible Complications of Scalp Psoriasis
The two most common complications of scalp psoriasis include:
– Hair loss: This may be caused by certain reasons, including excessive scratching due to itchiness, heavy scaling, and the effects on hair follicles. Damage on the scalp may lead to the loss of the whole clumps of hair. Also, stress and certain treatments for psoriasis may worsen this complication.
– Bleeding: People with scalp psoriasis may experience discomfort and itching. Bleeding would occur due to removing scales or scratching excessively. [5]
