Prolactin contributes to hair loss by promoting hair follicle shrinkage and cell death.
research Psoriasis of the Scalp
Coal tar shampoos, salicylic acid, and topical corticosteroids are effective for scalp psoriasis, with Vitamin D3 analogues also showing benefits; severe cases may require stronger medication with more risks.
