Everything You Need To Know About Scalp Psoriasis


Scalp Psoriasis is a skin disorder that creates raised, reddish and often scaly patches.  As with all types of Psoriasis and Eczema, it is not fully known what the causes are.  It is mostly considered to be an autoimmune disease which causes the skin cells to grow too quickly and build up into patches. Scalp Psoriasis is the most common of all Psoriasis, Eczema and dry skin conditions and is often hereditary. More than half of all sufferers have Scalp Psoriasis.

What are the main symptoms of Scalp Psoriasis?

These are the most common symptoms of Scalp Psoriasis:

  • Red, scaly, bumpy patches
  • Silvery white scales
  • Dandruff-like flaking
  • Itching
  • Burning and soreness
  • Hair Loss

Scalp Psoriasis itself doesn’t cause hair loss, but there are a number of factors can worsen the symptoms, such as scratching, picking or harsh treatments and with the stress that comes with this condition can sometimes lead to temporary hair loss. Fortunately, it’s common for the hair to grow back after your skin clears.

Scalp Psoriasis may be worsened or triggered by a number of factors such as:

  • Lack of Vitamin D
  • Excess Alcohol
  • Infections such as strep throat or skin infections
  • Skin Injuries
  • Smoking
  • Some Medications
  • Stress

M-Folia Psoriasis Hair Care Treatment products are designed to help combat the symptoms of Scalp Psoriasis and all related dry scalp conditions. We have developed a range that includes Scalp Oil Treatment for applying to the roots, massaging into the scalp and leaving for some time to allow scales to soften, itching to be relieved and the swelling and soreness to be reduced. We recommend washing this out with our M-Folia Psoriasis Treatment Shampoo and, if possible,  adding our Conditioner at the end to ensure that the scalp stays moisturised and the hair is soft and flake-free. All of our products at M-Folia contain 100% pure Mahonia Aquifolium extract which has been proven in many clinical trials to have anti-fungal, anti-microbial and anti-proliferative properties that work so well to reduce or clear the symptoms of Psoriasis.

We also looked very carefully at the other ingredients that we wanted to add to our formula to create the perfect balance to help heal the scalp, stimulate hair growth and ease pain and discomfort. For these reasons we chose the following pure plant extracts to add to our Scalp Oil:

Nobilis Flower Oil – Roman Chamomile

Chamomile is known for soothing itchy skin and preventing infection. It helps to stimulate the production of white cells within our bodies,  improving the skin’s elasticity and healing itchy or dry patches.

Cananga Odorata – Ylang Ylang Oil

Ylang Ylang has powerful yet gentle antibacterial and astringent properties and, in some cases, its powerful effect of easing pain and inflammation can be on the same level as pharmaceutical drugs. Regular use kills the bacteria trapped in the scalp, cleans out dirt, melts away hardened sebum in the pores and regulates hair growth.

Junipeus Communis – Juniper Berry Oil

Juniper oil is very effective for acne, eczema, psoriasis and dandruff as it helps to reduce inflammation and inhibit the growth of bacteria. This versatile oil also stimulates blood circulation and promotes blood purification. The antibacterial, antiseptic, and anti-fungal properties of juniper essential oil allows it to fight the skin irritations in scalp psoriasis.

Melaleuca Alternifolia – Tea Tree Oil

Tea Tree Oil is an ancient remedy that was originally used by the aboriginal people of Australia to treat skin ailments. The antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and anti fungal properties of the oil makes it the perfect natural remedy to reduce itching and cleanse the roots of your hair. This opens up clogged pores, enabling the scalp to breathe, stay hydrated, and promote a more healthy hair and scalp.

I have recently been diagnosed with psoriasis and was looking for something that I could treat it with that wasn't a prescription medicine. I came across M Folia and thought I would give the lotion and cream a try. My parcel arrived on the date expected and was well packaged. I decided to use the products before going to bed for the night in place of my Vitamin D cream but I wasn't prepared for the results I saw in the morning. My skin looked pink and rosy and the dry flaky patches were moisturised. Over the next few day's use my psoriasis really started to clear up to the point where I just now have a few red areas which I am still treating. The cream has a lovely feel and doesn't leave your skin greasy. Overall, I am very satisfied with M Folia.

My daughter has suffered with this condition over 20 years. I have seen her in a terrible state, with it coming up all over her. She is a hairdresser by trade and so is very conscious of her hair. Within one night of using the products I purchased it had all cleared up. UNBELIEVABLE PRODUCT. Would highly recommend to anyone. She is so different. thank you.

I have endured psoriasis for 30 years but very mildly on scalp and outer ears. My son(57),daughter(60),grandson(35),daughter(30) also suffer on various parts of the body. I am not aware of previous generations suffering, though information is scant. I have tried many things over the years. Most recently a beconase steroidal liquid and capsal shampoo. Having now used your product for about 2 months I feel that I have at last found something which leaves me much less itchy and generally in a much improved situation. I cannot say that is has "all gone" because it hasn't, but I am , as I said feeling hopeful for the future. Which, at 87, is saying a lot! From the family's situation each person seems to react differently to the condition and to the medications, which leads me to think that each case has to be handled individually. What works for one may often not work for another. I have one question. The flesh toned cream. Is it suitable for putting on my outer ears? I hope this is helpful Bruce Henderson

Brilliant service and brilliant product, this is the only conditioner that works on my itchy scalp. I do find that it works better if after shampooing I leave a very small amount directly on to the itchy areas of my scalp.

Wonderful products I had an outbreak on my scalp about 30 years ago. I talked it through with my GP at the time who had heard about MFolia benefits and after a long search for good products found Taylor Jackson. I used the scalp oil, the shampoo and the conditioner at first and when it cleared, I carried on using shampoo and conditioner. Although all symptoms have disappeared, I have only used these ever since. These are great products and importantly are SLS free. The multipacks are great value too. I definitely recommend these products. Whenever I have needed to speak to customer services they are friendly and always very helpful.

I have had psoriasis since i was a teenager and have been prescribed all sorts of products (including steriod creams) that never worked/helped. I discovered M.folia whilst browsing the internet and have been using it now for many years. I no longer have any plaques on my body just some stubborn patches on my scalp which i treat with the scalp oil, shampoo and conditioner. These are great products; they soothe and damp down any outbreaks i may get, smell fresh and most importantly to me are SLS free. The company is easy to deal with, customer services are friendly, quick to respond and always very helpful.
