Discover the Signs and Symptoms of Scalp Infections

8. Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic and prevalent skin condition that creates dry, red patches of skin that often flake and can appear scaly. Scalp psoriasis can range from mild to severe, and plaques and flaking can extend past the hairline onto the back of the neck and forehead. Many who experience psoriasis endure periods of flare-ups that build and subside over time. Some will experience frequent recurrences, and others may see the condition go into remission.
