    inflammatory scalp condition causing hair loss in psoriasis patients

    Psoriatic Alopecia, also known as Psoriatic Hair Loss, is a condition where individuals with psoriasis experience hair loss. This occurs when the inflammatory process associated with psoriasis affects the scalp, leading to temporary or sometimes permanent hair shedding. The hair loss is typically due to the scaling and inflammation disrupting the normal hair growth cycle.
