I truly empathize with you. What you described is just what I went through. My psoriasis started in my scalp and moved through much of my body over the years. You need to get a good dermatologist to help you manage the psoriasis. Whatever you do, do not pick on the psoriasis flakes in the scalp, for you could get traction alopecia to compound your problem. There is no magic bullet for this condition. Some newer medications have allowed better control for the really bad psoriasis, but it still can’t be cured.

I have psoriasis in my scalp and all my hair is falling out in the back. I just want to know if their is any hope for my hair to grow back? This has made me stressed out because I can’t do to much with my hair. I think I might have alopecia to but I not sure how would you know? I’m african american also I wanted to know if I should stay away from perms.
