I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing this. Hair loss can be a distressing symptom of scalp psoriasis. Here are some key points from the knowledge base that might help:

- Hair Loss: Hair loss, also known as psoriatic alopecia, is common with scalp psoriasis. It's usually temporary, but can be very distressing.
- Causes: Hair loss can occur due to rubbing, scratching, combing, washing, or using chemical treatments.
- Management Tips:
- Haircuts: Some people find that getting a layered, shoulder-length cut helps camouflage bald patches.
- Hair-color Spray: This can be used to cover small patches.
- Washing Frequency: Washing hair every couple of days might help reduce hair loss.
- Consult a Dermatologist: It's important to discuss your symptoms with a dermatologist to rule out other causes like thyroid disease and to get proper care.
