Being a little flaky can be fun sometimes. But when that flakiness is from your painful and irritated scalp, it is not so entertaining. An inflamed scalp can be itchy, flaky, and sore to the touch. It also might develop scabs that bleed at the slightest touch. People living with psoriasis have experienced the unpleasantness that comes with a scalp breakout. Using specially formulated shampoos and conditioners can help tame the flakes, scabs, and intense itching. Using a scalp massaging brush like this one to gently work in products and encourage the sebaceous glands to work properly can make treatment more effective.
