چکیده
Psoriasis vulgaris is one of the common chronic skin diseases, which can affect any area of the skin, but scalp is one of the most frequently involved [1]. Although the head represents only 10% of the body's surface area, the consequences of scalp psoriasis are disproportionate to the area, as it can be seriously debilitating [2]. Scalp psoriasis is characterized by sharply demarcated erythematosquamous lesions with silver-white scaling [3]. It is a frequent expression of the common skin disease with scaling and itching being the two major complaints [4].
