A member asked:
Can scalp psoriasis lead to a receding hairline and thinning hair?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe..: But it's more likely that the thinning and receding is genetic and will happen regardless. The psoriasis (which stresses the skin that supports hair growth) may cause patchy hair loss and make the genetic thinning worse, but usually doesn't cause a receding hairline by itself.
