Causes of Scalp Psoriasis versus Dandruff
Causes of Scalp Psoriasis
The exact cause of psoriasis is still not fully clear. However, it tends to run in families. If you have a sibling, parent, or close relative with this condition, the risk can be higher than others. Scientists have found that certain factors may make certain people more prone to psoriasis. The underlying mechanisms may be as follow:
– White blood cells in the immune system attacks healthy skin cells
– The body produces new skin cells excessively to compensate the attacked ones
– The extra dead cells lead to noticeable symptoms of psoriasis, such as plaques [6]
