Psoriasis is a chronic, lifelong skin condition, and scalp psoriasis is a common manifestation of this condition. Scalp psoriasis often requires separate treatment to psoriasis on other areas of the body because of the presence of hair, thinness of the skin and the visibility of this area, which may affect the person’s quality of life and wellbeing. An increased understanding of the treatment options available for scalp psoriasis, management protocols and effective application techniques may result in improved outcomes for patients
