AB SUMMARYIn  psoriasis,  the  scalp  is  the  most  common  affected  area,  and  frequently  represents  the  first  site  of  disease  involvement.  Isolated  scalp  psoriasis  affects  about  2%  of  the  general  population.Scalp  lesions  are  typically  located  behind  the  ear  and  neck  but  may  appear  anywhere  on  the  scalp.Trichoscopy  may  be  considered  a  useful  and  non-invasive  technique  in  diagnosing  scalp  psoriasis,  particularly  to  differentiate  the  atypical  presentations.
