A member asked:
Very itchy/burny scalp with little bumps - have allergies and mild psoriasis issues, how to tell which condition is causing the scalp issues? thanks!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say: It is impossible to tell without having visualized the lesions. However your response to treatment may be the answer other than consulting a dermatologist.
