Scalp psoriasis is a skin complaint characterized by red inflammed lesions on the scalp covered with silvery white scales. Scalp psoriasis is a fairly common skin complaint. The exact reason behind scalp psoriasis is yet not cleared. However, it is considered to be a disorder of autoimmune origin. Homeopathic medicines for scalp psoriasis don’t suppress the complaint and follow a curative approach. 
In scalp psoriasis, due to a misdirected immune response, the cells of skin start to grow at a very quick pace (in day’s time instead of a few weeks). The body remains unable to shed these excessive cells which tend to pile up on the skin surface forming thick scaly patches. A person having a family history of psoriasis is at risk to get it too. Injury to scalp, smoking, and stress are a few factors that raise the risk of scalp psoriasis. These similar factors are also linked to worsening of scalp psoriasis.
Homeopathic Medicines for Scalp Psoriasis
Scalp psoriasis can be treated wonderfully with homeopathy. They are mild, safe remedies that treat scalp psoriasis gently with zero side effects. They moderate the immune system of the body thus preventing quick multiplication of the skin cells and bringing excellent recoveries in case of scalp psoriasis. With their use, the redness, inflammation, and scales on the scalp get reduced markedly. The psoriatic patches tend to heal and its further spread is well controlled. Itching, burning on the scalp and associated hair fall also gets managed with them in a magnificent way. Homeopathy for scalp psoriasis are selected individually for every case of scalp psoriasis as per constitution of person to yield best results. Arsenic Album, Arsenic Iodatum, Graphites, Sepia, Natrum Mur, Sulphur, and Petroleum are the top remedies to treat the condition.
1. Arsenic Album – Top Grade Medicine for Scalp Psoriasis
Arsenic Album tops the list of therapeutics indicated for scalp psoriasis treatment. A person requiring Arsenic Album have dry eruptions on the scalp covered with scales.

Intolerable itching and burning also appear on the scalp. After scratching the scalp becomes painful and sometimes bleeding appears from the psoriatic patches. The scalp is also sensitive. A characteristic feature is worsening of the complaint from cold and relief by warmth in general. An associated hair loss may also be present with the above signs and symptoms.
2. Arsenic Iodatum – For Scalp Psoriasis with Large Scales
Arsenic Iodatum is next beneficial medicine in the list for treating scalp psoriasis. Arsenic Iodatum is most suited to the cases of scalp psoriasis where exfoliation of large scales is present. The rawness of the scalp surface beneath the scales appears following its exfoliation. A marked inflammation of the scalp along with the above features is also well noted. Arsenic Iodatum will help to reduce the excessive scaliness of scalp and the associated inflammation of scalp psoriasis in a very effective manner.

6. Sulphur – For Scalp Psoriasis with Itching and Burning on Scalp
Sulphur is highly recommended to treat many skin ailments including scalp psoriasis. It is very useful to manage itching and burning arising in the cases of scalp psoriasis. In most cases requiring Sulphur the itching is harsh and very violent in nature. The itching gets worse in the evening and at the night time in a majority of the cases where Sulphur is indicated. Washing also worsens the itching in a few cases. Along with itching, burning in the lesions is also present in a marked degree. Scratching mostly result in extreme burning sensation on the scalp. The scalp is dry, unhealthy with red scaly blotches. Use of Sulphur is also considered in those cases of scalp psoriasis where a person has used local medication (ointments) injudiciously for a long period of time.

The scalp is rough, dry, and dirty and is covered with thick scaly crusty psoriatic lesions. The scalp is raw, red and inflammed. On scratching the eruptions tend to bleed often. The eruptions are itchy and scalp is sensitive to touch. Soreness and pain follow scratching.
Signs and Symptoms of Scalp Psoriasis
The major sign of psoriasis is red inflammed raised patches on the scalp that is covered with shiny silvery white scales. The scaling may be fine to thick depending upon the severity. The skin lesions of scalp psoriasis also tend to extend to the neck and behind or inside the ears frequently. The scalp also appears very dry. In severe cases of scalp psoriasis thick crusted plaques on the scalp forms. Bleeding on scratching the lesions may attend. Itching, soreness and burning sensation also appear on the scalp. Hair fall is an associated complaint that may arise in a person having scalp psoriasis. The above signs and symptoms vary in intensity from case to case.
Hair fall with itchy dry scalp burns when I use hair color. Oil application alleviates.Itchy scalp resumes after 5-6hrs after oiling.
My husband has excessive itching and scaly and scabbing on his scalp. He continues to scratch which causes the bleeding and the scabbing. He is not obese and it is fairly constant regardless of the weather. He did suffer from PMR and was on steroids and methotraxait a few years ago. Obviously, PMR is also an autoimmune disorder. He’s been prescribed an ointment to rub on his scalp in the morning and night but it has been effective only for a few hours and then it’s back to the itchiness. Any suggestions are appreciated.
My daughter once had the same problem you described. I bought fresh Aloe and took out the juice then applied on her scalp. Leave it on for half an hour then washed off. It really helped.

Hi doctor,
I have a condition of scalp scaling. It forms immediately I scrub and wash. Maybe in a 2 or 4 days it’s back again. It started in centre of the scalp and now it’s spread towards sides and back. I’m deeply worried. It’s scales of dead skin for sure and it’s like flakes when i scratch the scalp I can feel that. I have no big itching though it’s an irritation when I move my fingers through hair.
Between there is a lot of minute dandruff powder kind falling also. I’m too depressed to wear any dark dresses as its falling crazy. I believe in homeopathic treatments. Please suggest me something great.

hello Dr. Sharma
I am 71, obese, take medication for diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol, thyroid. I have a serious case of scalp psoriasis for several years, constant tremendous itchiness, very dry scalp, snowfall like dandruff. I have redness on forehead along hairline and one patch at temple area, crustiness behind ears. All this despite regular hair washing. I have seen a dermatologist who recommended Sebcure to wash my hair, no particular recommendation for a Conditioner so I have been sing a light Dove product, and she also recommended a product called Dovo-gel to rub on scalp and keep keep overnight once or twice a week. None of this has helped. Can you kindly advise me on this case which seems to be uncontrollable.
Thank you for your kind assistance
