Like most topics, there are always fact and fiction aspects to it. The same applies with the topic of hair and the topic of skin conditions. Psoriasis is a more common skin condition that many people are aware of. Scalp psoriasis is something less known about except for those that have been afflicted with it.
There are 5 types of psoriasis that may affect various parts of the body. They all have their own unique symptoms and quite often, the cause cannot be determined.
The following are some points that are often raised regarding psoriasis, are they true or false.
Psoriasis is caused from poor hygiene: FALSE
Unfortunately, people that have a closed mind when it comes to any type of skin condition and not just psoriasis automatically put it down to the person not showering or washing their skin. This couldn’t be further from the truth for psoriasis. In fact, it can occur from someone use-cleansing items that contain harsh chemicals, or even environmental pollutants.
Psoriasis only affects women: FALSE
This skin condition as no respect for age nor gender. Men and children can suffer from it just as easily as men do. It may be more prominent at specific ages but it doesn’t exclude any age group.
Psoriasis Is Hereditary: TRUE AND FALSE
It is not an absolute statement. It quite often is common for various members of a family to have it. For example a mother and then her daughter. There are other cases though where it has never been present in other family members.
It Can Be Caused By an Injury: TRUE
It can be the aftermath of an injury but not necessarily the definite result of one. In other words, you do not have had to be injured in order to get psoriasis.
If You Suffer From Psoriasis Then It Will definitely affect The Scalp: FALSE
There is always a good possibility that is you are suffering from the condition that it could also appear on the scalp. By the same token, you could have scalp psoriasis and not be afflicted with it on anywhere else of your body.
In any event, it is not good to base any possible action against your psoriasis based on speculation. You need to see your doctor and get a positive diagnosis. He will then determine the best treatment. In most cases with scalp psoriasis, a medicated shampoo will be ordered.
