Over my life, I've experienced bouts of hormonal acne, enlarged pores and sensitivity. But one thing I've never had to manage is dryness of any kind; you see, I'm much more prone to excess oil than patches of sore or flaky skin. That is, until I (pretty randomly) developed hairline psoriasis around six months ago.
Psoriasis around the hairline and across the scalp is fairly common; according to The Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis Alliance, approximately 1 out of 2 (50%) of all people with psoriasis have it on their scalp. So where does it come from, and how can it suddenly impact you at any age? As someone who developed it in their thirties, I was keen to speak to skin specialists to discover the answers and learn how to address it, quickly.
