Psoriasis Facial Rashes

Facial psoriasis affects up to 46% of people diagnosed with psoriasis. The rash of facial psoriasis appears as silvery scales, itchy rashes and, in some cases, opens lesions. This rash most commonly involves the upper lip, the forehead and eyebrows, and at the hairline. Research indicates approximately 74% of people with facial psoriasis had rashes on the upper forehead, and approximately 46% had rashes near the ear. The study also found that most patients first experienced facial symptoms between the ages of 30 to 40.
