Treatment of Scalp Psoriasis in "ON Clinic Odessa"

Scalp psoriasis is a non-infectious disease and is usually chronic. The disease causes significant physical and psychological discomfort because the affected areas constantly itch, peel and look unaesthetically. Scalp psoriasis most often affects the forehead and the back of the head, the chin line, and the skin behind the ears and on the neck.

The disease is also dangerous because over time it can spread to other parts of the body: the shoulders, arms, back, etc. That is why the treatment should be started as soon as the following symptoms of scalp psoriasis are detected:

• The skin becomes prone to irritation, begins to peel and itch

• Red spots appear, which eventually cornify and become covered with silvery scales

• The number of psoriatic plaques increases, they form large lesions.

The pathology development has three stages: progressive, stationary and regressive. In the first case, symptoms are most acute. In the second case the situation remains relatively stable (new plaques do not appear but old ones do not disappear). Finally, in the third case, symptoms gradually disappear.

The treatment methods used by the specialists of "ON Clinic Odessa" are aimed at the earliest possible achievement of a long-term remission. Already at the first consultation, a comprehensive diagnosis of scalp psoriasis is carried out (visual and instrumental examination) and an individual therapy plan is developed. It helps to:

• Reduce the formation of plaques

• Relieve the scalp itching

• Improve the skin condition.

In the complex therapy of psoriasis, not only topic medicines but also multivitamin complexes, physiotherapeutic procedures, and drug injections are used.

Causes of scalp psoriasis

The disease is a result of a systemic failure in the body that can be caused by:

• Genetic mutations

• Chronic infectious diseases

• Frequent skin injuries

• Metabolic disorders

• Severe stress and nervous exhaustion

• Chronic fatigue

• Regular hypothermia

• Hormonal imbalance (in particular, in women during menopause or pregnancy)

• Bad habits.

The above factors can affect not only the development of the disease but also the features of its course. Thus, consumption of large amounts of alcohol, chocolate, and fatty foods can cause exacerbation of psoriasis or shorten the remission period. The same applies to the work/rest regime and psycho-emotional balance.

It means that psoriasis prevention consists primarily in avoiding fatigue and stress, systematic strengthening of immunity and limiting harmful habits. It is necessary to treat infectious and endocrine diseases timely, avoid skin injuries.

If the pathology has already manifested itself, an experienced trichologist of the medical center "ON Clinic" will help to get rid of the unpleasant symptoms.
