August: Psoriasis and Hair Loss Awareness Month


Psoriasis and hair loss are two common skin conditions that can have a significant impact on a person's physical and emotional well-being. As a dermatologist, I want to raise awareness about these conditions during Psoriasis and Hair Loss Awareness Month.


Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that causes the rapid buildup of skin cells, resulting in thick, red, and scaly patches on the skin. It affects around 7.5 million Americans and can occur anywhere on the body, including the scalp. Scalp psoriasis can cause itching, pain, and hair loss.


Hair loss, also known as alopecia, can occur for a variety of reasons, including genetics, stress, hormonal changes, and certain medical conditions. It is estimated that 50 million men and 30 million women in the United States experience hair loss.


The good news is that both psoriasis and hair loss can be effectively treated with the right approach. For psoriasis, treatments include topical creams, light therapy, and oral medications. Scalp psoriasis can be treated with medicated shampoos and light therapy. For hair loss, treatments such as minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplants can help regrow hair.

It is important to consult a dermatologist if you are experiencing symptoms of psoriasis or hair loss. A dermatologist can help diagnose the underlying cause and recommend the most appropriate treatment.


In addition to seeking medical treatment, there are also lifestyle changes that can help manage symptoms of psoriasis and hair loss. For example, eating a healthy diet, reducing stress, and avoiding triggers such as smoking and alcohol can all help improve overall skin and hair health.


In conclusion, psoriasis and hair loss are common skin conditions that can have a significant impact on a person's physical and emotional well-being. During Psoriasis and Hair Loss Awareness Month, I want to raise awareness about these conditions and remind people that effective treatments are available. If you are experiencing symptoms, please do not hesitate to consult a dermatologist.
