Key Symptoms Of Scalp Psoriasis

Burning Sensation

Some patients report feeling a burning sensation on and around their psoriasis patches. Unexplained burning is generally cause to talk to a dermatologist or doctor. Hair bleach might cause the individual's scalp to burn during the treatment, but the sensation shouldn't continue for long after they've washed the bleach out. If it does, affected individuals should consult a doctor. If their scalp burns after they start using a new hair-care product, hairstyling product, shampoo, or conditioner, it could be an allergic reaction. As such, individuals should stop using the new product to avoid making the reaction worse. In addition to psoriasis, the most common skin condition that causes scalp tingling is seborrheic dermatitis, which affects oily portions of the skin. Folliculitis can lead to scalp burning. This condition is usually caused by an infection and leads to swelling and inflammation of the hair follicles. Patients may need antibiotics for the underlying cause of folliculitis, so they should always see a doctor about tingling that comes with pain, red bumps, or lesions in the skin.
