removing my scalp psoriasis yet again 😥

removing my scalp psoriasis yet again 😥 DR. BAYO RESPONDS Comments on this video were so hard to read. I'm Dr. Bayo. I'm a board-certified family medicine physician and health advocate. People are writing that this is a hygiene issue. That can't be farther from the truth. What she has is scalp psoriasis. This is an autoimmune condition where the immune system is sending signals that cause skin cells to grow faster than they normally should. When that happens, cells build up on the scalp. Scalp psoriasis can be very challenging to treat. Sometimes over-the-counter shampoos won't work. There are other treatment options such as biologics, but it can be hard sometimes to know which one to choose. If any of this sounds familiar and you've been dealing with patches that seem like they were dandruff but haven't gotten better, consider using this phrase with your doctor. "I've been having dry, flaky patches on my scalp. I'd like us to explore whether or not this is scalp psoriasis." Hannah, thank you so much for sharing your story. The courage it took to go online and share about the condition that you're living with every day is gonna help so many people.
