Scalp Psoriasis - Ayurvedic Treatment

What is Scalp Psoriasis?

Scalp Psoriasis is a deadly chronic skin disease of auto-immune nature. In modern days, due to increased stress & altered diet & unhealthy lifestyle, cases of psoriasis increase and the prognosis is very poor. The social stigma caused by this long-term skin disease is still on the high. Psoriasis causes an important role in the cosmetic aspect, especially in children and youngsters. The most reason for considering this disease as a curse, is that it has no effective & permanent cure or prevention. The scaly skin lesions which are the most obvious sign, may reduce or change site but they can not be permanently cured. Usually, the disease affects the whole body but the lesions are predominantly seen in joints, back of thighs or such areas.  45 to 56 percent of people living with psoriasis have scalp psoriasis. It can affect the scalp, hairline, forehead, back of the neck and skin around the ears. Scalp psoriasis may be an indicator of psoriatic arthritis (Psoriatic arthritis), as many people have both.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

Psoriatic lesions on the scalp are usually asymmetrical and sharply demarcated, and exhibit silvery‐white scales with pain, itching, or bleeding resulting the person in feelings of embarrassment, and restricting clothing choices.

CAUSES

Exact cause is unknown. Following factors are considered to play a role in the development of psoriasis.

  • Family history
  • Ожирение
  • Стресс
  • Viral and bacterial infections

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY

The skin cells on the scalp grow too quickly and make powdery or thick scales called plaques. The areas around them can be red and itchy. The pathogenesis of psoriasis is characterized by increased production of inflammatory cytokines that cause hyperkeratosis. Briefly, interleukin (IL)‐23 and IL‐12 are produced by myeloid dendritic cells, and these cytokines activate naïve T cells to differentiate into Th1, Th17, and Th22 cells, which then produce cytokines responsible for the development of psoriatic plaques such as IL‐17, IL‐22, tumor necrosis factor‐α, and interferon‐γ.

DIAGNOSIS

  • Clinical examination
  • Skin biopsy

TREATMENTS

Common treatment options for patients with scalp psoriasis include topical agents such as vitamin D analogs, corticosteroids, and coal tar.

PROGNOSIS

Scalp psoriasis can be difficult to treat. It may take time to find a treatment that works well because everyone responds differently to treatments.

COMPLICATIONS

Scalp psoriasis affects individuals differently. Some people have an occasional flare-up while others deal with the condition frequently.
