Dandruff and Scalp Psoriasis
What Are Dandruff & Scalp Psoriasis?
Dandruff and Scalp Psoriasis are two common yet different scalp conditions that often get confused.
Dandruff
A chronic scalp condition characterized by white flakes, dryness, itching, and irritation. It is usually caused by excessive oil production, fungal overgrowth, sensitivity to hair products, or stress.
Scalp Psoriasis
A chronic autoimmune skin disorder that causes thick, silvery-white scales, redness, inflammation, and persistent itching on the scalp. It can extend to the forehead, back of the neck, or ears.
Both conditions can affect confidence, comfort, and scalp health. Conventional treatment often uses medicated shampoos or steroids, but these offer temporary relief.
At Elegance Homoeopathy Clinic, we offer gentle, holistic homoeopathic treatment for dandruff and scalp psoriasis that works from within to regulate immunity, balance scalp health, and reduce recurrence.
