Scalp psoriasis: Overview
Scalp psoriasis can extend beyond the scalp. It can appear on the forehead as shown in the picture on this page. Sometimes, it extends to the back of the neck or appears behind the ears.
On the scalp, psoriasis may need different treatment. The skin on the scalp is thicker. Hair can get in the way.
