I have psoriasis on my scalp. Do you think it is safe to microneedle? I don’t have psoriasis on my hairline, where i would do most of the microneedling (NW3 now). I’m very inclined to start microneedling, but afraid it might result in new psoriasis spots. Also, how about FUE? I read it might be […]

Patients on a biologic like Embrel or Humira can have a hair transplant as long as they are healthy and have no problems associated with the drug.
If you transferred psoriasis, you would be the first patient I heard of that had experienced this. Rubbing scabs off always worries me, but it will not damage the grafts if it was not done roughly. Your psoriasis should be treated by your doctor, not me over the internet.
I too have psoriasis and had a hair transplant twice. The psoriasis did not impact the hair transplant or vice versa. I wrote about this very topic in one of my earliest blog posts way back 5 years ago — Scalp Psoriasis and Transplants. It’s worth noting that I doubt the psoriasis caused your hair […]
First, psoriasis does not cause hair loss. If you have hair loss, you need to be examined by a doctor who knows how to differentiate the different causes of hair loss. I can not tell you what is happening and even based upon what you write, I am hesitant to guess. See a good dermatologist […]
Snippet from the article: Read the full text at Yahoo! Health We are unlocking more and more of our genetic codes. The balding four most probable genes have been identified. Now we have identified one of the main culprits of psoriasis. Once we know the gene and command it, we will develop appropriate drugs for […]
Hi reader. 2 answers: There is no connection. I’ve written about this many times before. These oral potions / supplements just do not work for treating those conditions unless they have a steroid in them, which would be making them dangerous.
This is a standard dermatologic condition which any good dermatologist should be able to address. The best person to treat your friend’s psoriasis is her dermatologist, but as she’s having difficulty finding a treatment that works, I found a good list you can both review at the National Psoriasis Foundation site.
Psoriasis and lice are not related, and having psoriasis is not protective to having head lice. I suspect the lice won’t be as happy living in the midst of a psoriatic scalp, but beggars can’t be choosers. Kidding aside, psoriasis is a skin condition and lice is a parasite infestation. You can have a combination […]
I really couldn’t tell you what you have without an examination, but psoriasis may start off with red areas on the skin leading to flaking and eruptions. These red areas, when they impact the scalp that is covered by hair, may not show up well. There is a fine line in the diagnosis between seborrhea […]
It sounds like you may be looking for potential legal advice. I do not know your client or the entire circumstance involving her hair loss. This sounds like an acute episode of hair loss happened within a couple of days of the treatment you gave her. There seems to be a direct link between the […]
If you have doubts about your doctor’s diagnosis or plan, maybe you need to see another doctor for a second opinion. Doing this over the Internet is virtually impossible. The flakes you get out should be examined microscopically. If you just have seborrhea, then there are a wide variety of over-the-counter shampoos for it. If […]
I am more than just familiar with it, as I have a very aggressive form of psoriasis myself. When I was young, it impacted my scalp along the ears and frontal area and looked awful and felt painful as well. Psoriasis will not cause hair loss unless you pick at it enough to develop traction […]
The use of topical steroids on a limited basis will not cause hair loss, but chronic use of topical steroids may impact your adrenal gland. I have psoriasis and when I use topical steroids, I confine their use to three applications of a very light amount, applied three times each week. When the psoriasis is […]
When trauma (surgery is a trauma) occurs in the psoriasis skin, a Koebner reaction may occur. This requires a good dermatologist to manage the process. It is a complex management problem.
