Scalp Psoriasis (Psoriatic Dermatitis) and Its Homoeopathic Treatment

Introduction

Do you experience thick, silvery-white scales on your scalp, itching, and flaking that look like stubborn dandruff but don’t go away easily? This could be Scalp Psoriasis, also known as Psoriatic Dermatitis.

Scalp psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition where skin cells multiply too quickly, leading to scaling, redness, and itching. It may extend beyond the hairline, affecting the forehead, back of the neck, or behind the ears. Unlike simple dandruff, it can be persistent, recurrent, and linked with psoriasis on other body parts.

At Homoeo Clinic, Dr. Dinesh Sharma provides a safe, holistic homoeopathic approach that not only reduces symptoms but also addresses the root cause for long-term relief.

Causes & Triggers of Scalp Psoriasis

Medical Causes

• Autoimmune dysfunction (immune system attacks healthy skin cells)

• Family history of psoriasis or autoimmune disorders

• Hormonal imbalance

• Metabolic issues or associated arthritis (psoriatic arthritis)

Lifestyle & Environmental Triggers

• Stress and emotional strain

• Cold, dry weather

• Excess alcohol or smoking

• Certain medications (steroids, beta-blockers, lithium)

• Skin injuries or infections

• Unhealthy diet and lack of sleep

Homoeopathic Approach to Scalp Psoriasis

Conventional treatments (steroid creams, coal tar shampoos, UV therapy) may give temporary relief but often cause side effects or recurrence.

Homoeopathy works differently:

• Targets the root cause by correcting immune imbalance.

• Reduces scaling, itching, and inflammation gently and naturally.

• Improves overall immunity and prevents relapses.

• Provides safe, long-term treatment without harmful chemicals.

At Homoeo Clinic, Dr. Dinesh Sharma prescribes personalized remedies after studying your case history, triggers, and overall health, ensuring holistic healing.

Do’s and Don’ts for Patients

Do’s

• Wash scalp gently with mild, non-chemical shampoos.

• Apply coconut oil or olive oil to soften scales (if advised).

• Follow a healthy diet rich in antioxidants, Vitamin D, and Omega-3 fatty acids.

• Manage stress with yoga, meditation, or relaxation techniques.

• Maintain a regular sleep routine and stay hydrated.

Don’ts

• Avoid scratching or picking scales (can worsen and cause infection).

• Limit alcohol, smoking, and junk food.

• Avoid strong shampoos, dyes, and chemical-based hair products.

• Don’t stop treatment suddenly when symptoms improve—psoriasis is chronic.
