Scalp psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis are two skin conditions that cause rough, scaly skin on the scalp. Psoriasis can develop anywhere on the body, while seborrheic dermatitis primarily affects the scalp and appears as yellow, greasy scales with red skin. Treatment options for scalp psoriasis include topical corticosteroids and light therapy, whereas seborrheic dermatitis often improves with over-the-counter shampoos.

10. Treatment
Scalp Psoriasis
Psoriasis of the scalp may be
harder to treat. Topical
corticosteroids may help
reduce inflammation and slow
the growth of skin cells.
Psoriasis can also be treated
with light therapy or injectable
medications.
For most people, dandruff
clears up on its own. Over-
the-counter (OTC) shampoos
and medication are usually
enough to improve flaking
and soothe itching.
