Scalp psoriasis – an overly persistent guest
Psoriasis doesn’t just affect the skin of the body – it can also appear on the scalp. It is characterized by thick, red plaques covered with silvery scales. In addition to itching and discomfort, this condition often causes daily inconveniences.
Soothing solution:
There are special medicated shampoos and products that are used in combination with a very gentle care regimen. Don’t underestimate the role of stress – it often provokes exacerbations. Relaxation and good sleep can be your strong ally.
Allergy to hair products – when the scalp says “stop”
A new shampoo, hair dye or serum, and suddenly the itching becomes unbearable. Many cosmetic products contain irritating or allergenic ingredients, especially those with strong fragrances or promising “instant effects.”
Precautions to take:
Always test a small area of skin (like behind the ear) before using a new product. If possible, choose hypoallergenic formulas or those with more natural ingredients.
Sunburn on the scalp? Yes, it’s totally possible
We often think about protecting our face and body, but we forget about our scalp. Prolonged exposure to the sun without a hat can lead to invisible but very unpleasant scalp burns.
Practical advice:
Wear a hat or use a special sun protection spray for your hair when going out or at the beach. After sun exposure, moisturize your scalp just like you would your face.
