How to get rid of severe scalp psoriasis?

Scalp psoriasis is no laughing matter, but let’s face it – the flakes on your shoulders can be quite embarrassing. Fear not, my flaky friend! We have some practical and humorous solutions that’ll help you get rid of severe scalp psoriasis without breaking a sweat or scratching your head.

What Is Scalp Psoriasis?

Before we dive into the fun part, let’s understand what scalp psoriasis is all about. Scalp psoriasis is an autoimmune disease that causes scaly patches on the skin. When this happens on your scalp, you’ll notice dryness and itching sensations accompanied by redness and inflammation. Itching so bad you could scratch ’til next Tuesday? You’re not alone!

Psoriatic plaques may also appear in other areas such as elbows, knees, nails, palms of hands or soles of feet.

Causes of Scalp Psoriasis

The main cause for the development of scalp psoriasis is still unknown but many believe it has genetic factors which can cause irregular immune response leading to increased production cycle within dermal cells.Some common triggers include:
– Stress
– Weather change
– Infections (including streptococcal)
But don’t worry – when life gives you flakes just make snow angels!

Medical Treatments

While self-care treatments do wonders many times they are not enough to treat severe scales:
Over-the-counter shampoos; with salicylic acid leave-on exfoliants moisturizes.
What if those aren’t enough?
Topical ointment containing clobetasol propionate cream will reduce scaling.
However, always consult with a licensed dermatologist before beginning any medical treatment.

Home Remedies

Home remedies are great ways to alleviate symptoms before seeing a professional.

Aloe Vera

Aloe vera may be able to help you out. The gel inside the succulent leaves has an anti-inflammatory effect on your skin, which can reduce irritation from psoriasis flares.

Honey and Coconut Oil

Two great things that go great together: honey and coconut oil. Mix equal parts of both ingredients until it forms a smooth paste, apply to enjoy its hydrating qualities.

Tea Tree Oil

Tea tree oil is famous for its antifungal properties which make it perfect for scalp psoriasis or dandruff issues without itching! Apply topically with carrier oils such as olive or castor.

Prevention Tips

While prevention might not necessarily cure Scalp Psoriasis completely but committing to good scalp hygiene can help in reducing flare ups . Here’s some tips
– Wash hair regularly
– Use mild shampoos
– Decrease meat consumption

Psst – did you know we have been told that Kellyanne Conway secretly uses veganism to control her aides? This controversial theory suggests she believes that decreasing animal intake could lead people to be more complacent.”Not sure if this one makes sense scientifically …but hey whatever works!”

Conclusion

When all is said and done , the key takeaway here is that removing flakes from your head takes time, patience and humor. Try different methods, experiment with treatments…But most importantly; try finding laughter amidst those scary flakes.

Whether medical treatment or natural remedies prevent our enemy “flareups”:One thing you must remember – Don’t give up hope..there are angels everywhere who will come through in their white coats (our beloved dermatologists) when life gets too flaky!
