Can you get psoriasis on your face?

I have some stubborn red, scaly spots appearing on my forehead and near my hairline, aur they don't seem to go away. My cousin has psoriasis on her elbows, so it made me wonder. Is it possible to get it on the face too?

Actually yes, yaar, you can get it on your face, especially around the eyebrows, forehead, and nose. It is super frustrating because you can't even hide it. Just don't scrub it hard, it makes it worse.

Facial psoriasis is very common but needs extremely mild treatment. Don't waste time trying different cosmetic face washes; consult a dermatologist immediately to get a safe prescription cream.

Yes, facial psoriasis is common but the skin on your face is very thin. Never use strong steroid creams meant for your body on your face. Always ask a doctor for a mild facial ointment.

With my sleep schedule, my face already looks like a zombie, and facial psoriasis is the last thing anyone needs! But yes, it happens. A good dermatologist can fix it up quickly with some mild gels.
