The four key challenges of living with scalp psoriasis (and what to do about it)
Scalp Psoriasis is something I have had a lot of experience with – and in my 30 years i have concluded that there is a reason we find treating our challenges with scalp psoriasis so hard.
Scalp psoriasis is in my opinion 4 problems – not one. Each individual challenge has its own specific treatment approaches and knowing these can help you dial into your own best treatment approach.

Note: In this episode we talk about things you can do for your scalp psoriasis at home, but we talk about pharmaceutical options too. Please note that this is for information only – do not use medications without discussing with your doctor first. Even if they are already in your cupboard!
