Treatment and Pictures Psoriasis on Face

Psoriasis on the face is different than on other parts of the body. Your skinthere is thinner and may be more sensitive to treatments.
Psoriasis is believed as auto-immune disease which is experienced by many people worldwide. This skin disorder commonly affects the face, although it may spread to another body parts, such as neck, arms, and back. Psoriasis causes the skin to redden and it is usually quite visible.

As an auto-immune disorder, it is quite reasonable that psoriasis outbreak depends more on specific individual rather than common risk factors, and that treating it may need eligible efforts.

There are a few main types of treatments specifically for facial psoriasis. The type you use depends on which part of the face is affected. Your doctor may prescribe just one or a mixture of them, including:

Low-potency corticosteroids, which are ointments, creams, lotions, or sprays that reduce redness and swelling. Doctors usually prescribe them for just a few weeks at a time. If you use them for longer, they can make your skin thin, shiny, bruise easily, or give it stretch marks.

Synthetic vitamin D, such as calcipotriene (Dovonex, Sorilux) ointment or cream, slows the growth of skin cells. But it can also irritate your face. Calcitriol (Vectical,Rocaltrol) is a newer vitamin D drug for psoriasis that some studies suggest may be better for sensitive skin.


Retinoids, such as tazarotene gel (Tazorac), help remove scales and may easeinflammation. But skin irritation is a possible side effect.

Guttate psoriasis is a distinctive acute skin eruption characterised by small drop-like, salmon-pink papules which usually have a fine scale. This variant primarily occurs on the trunk and the proximal extremities but it may have a more generalised distribution. A history of an upper respiratory infection secondary to group A beta haemolytic streptococci often precedes the eruption by 2-3 weeks. Guttate psoriasis may be chronic and unrelated to streptococcal infection.
In most cases there is a history of an antecedent streptococcal infection, usually of the upper respiratory tract, such as pharyngitis or tonsillitis, 2-3 weeks prior to the eruption.

There may be a positive family history of psoriasis.
The onset of the skin lesions is often acute, with multiple papules erupting on the trunk and the proximal extremities.
Lesions may sometimes spread to involve the face, the ears and the scalp.
The palms and the soles are rarely affected.
The rash is often associated with mild itching.
Like other forms of psoriasis, guttate psoriasis tends to improve during the summer and worsen during the winter.
Examination of the skin reveals characteristic lesions consisting of multiple, discrete drop-like salmon-pink papules. A fine scale may be seen on established lesions.


Nail changes characteristic of chronic psoriasis (eg, pits, ridges and the oil-drop sign) are usually absent.

What Are Causes of Scalp Psoriasis

Scalp psoriasis is a common skin disorder that makes raised, reddish, often scaly patches. It can pop up as a single patch or several, and can even affect your entire scalp. It can also spread to your forehead, the back of your neck, or behind your ears.

Psoriasis is common on the scalp. Researchers estimate that at least half (50 percent) of the people who have plaque (plak) psoriasis will have at least one flare-up on the scalp.
What causes scalp psoriasis?
Regardless of where psoriasis forms, the cause is the same. Psoriasis develops when a person’s immune system has faulty signals that tell skin cells to grow too quickly. New skin cells form in days rather than weeks. The body does not shed these excess skin cells. The skin cells pile up on the surface of the skin, causing patches of psoriasis to appear.
Scalp psoriasis can be very mild, with slight, fine scaling. It can also be very severe with thick, crusted plaques covering the entire scalp. Psoriasis can extend beyond the hairline onto the forehead, the back of the neck and around the ears.

Other skin disorders, such as seborrheic dermatitis, may look similar to psoriasis. However, scalp psoriasis appears powdery with a silvery sheen, while seborrheic dermatitis appears yellowish and greasy.
