Ive been noticing some issues with my scalp, and Im not sure if its dandruff or something else like scalp psoriasis. Can you help me understand the difference between the two? Im attaching some images for reference. Could this be scalp psoriasis?
Scalp psoriasis is a skin condition characterized by red, scaly patches on the scalp, while dandruff is a common condition marked by flaking of the scalp skin. To treat scalp psoriasis, you can use medicated shampoos containing coal tar, salicylic acid, or ketoconazole. In addition, topical corticosteroids or calcipotriene can be applied to the affected areas.
