Be part of the solution and make a difference
Scalp psoriasis began at 20 with intense itching and flakes in my hair. Shampoos irritated it more. The worst was a hairdresser staring and saying my scalp was a mess, I left in tears, avoiding mirrors and dates for months.
Coal tar lotions and therapy rebuilt my routine, plus a stylist who understands psoriasis. I cut my hair short and explain it’s autoimmune, not dirt. My scalp is calmer now.
Scalp psoriasis hurts confidence, but support and the right care make a difference.
