Which locations do plaque psoriasis build up at?

Psoriasis is an auto-immune disease that is caused by the overproduction of white skin cells. There are several types of psoriasis, such as guttate psoriasis and inverse psoriasis, but plaque psoriasis is the most common and it commonly occurs where joints meet, such as the elbows, knees, and fingers. It is also common on the scalp of the head. Furthermore, plaque psoriasis will occur where the skin gets easily irritated by rubbing motions or even in the genital area.

What do you recommend for psorasis on the scalp?

Scalp psoriasis treatment options can help control its symptoms. Sometimes scalp psoriasis will clear on its own (a spontaneous remission), or it can remain on the scalp for long periods of time. It is important to select scalp treatments that are agreeable to you. Treatments should never be worse than the psoriasis itself. Consider your lifestyle, available time and the cost to help you decide among the options. Tar products and salicylic acid are generally sufficient for treating very mild scalp psoriasis. More severe scalp psoriasis may require persistence and experimentation to find an effective treatment plan. Treatments include topical medications (applied to the skin) and occasionally ultraviolet (UV) light. Treatments are often combined and rotated because a person's psoriasis can become resistant to medications after repeated use. Systemic (oral or injected) psoriasis treatments are not commonly used just for scalp psoriasis, but they may be tried if psoriasis is present elsewhere on the body and/or the psoriasis is severe
