Hello Doctor,
I have taken pics of my scalp... can you tell me what kind of psoriasis I have, please?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
As a dermatologist, I can certainly understand your concerns about your scalp condition. However, due to the limitations of online communication and the necessity of a thorough clinical examination, it’s not possible for me to diagnose your condition accurately based on photographs alone. However, I am considering scalp psoriasis. Scalp psoriasis can often present as red, itchy, and scaly patches, but the severity and appearance can vary from person to person.
A definitive diagnosis of scalp psoriasis or any other condition would require a detailed examination, and in some cases, a skin biopsy might be necessary. I recommend scheduling an appointment with me or a local dermatologist. They will be able to physically examine your scalp, discuss your symptoms in more detail, and provide a more accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment options.
In the meantime, it’s important not to scratch or pick at your scalp, as this can potentially worsen the condition and lead to further complications.
Thanks
