A.
In general, there is no contraindication to the use of hair dyes with scalp psoriasis. Certain hair dyes may further aggravate your scalp psoriasis. Consider patch testing a small area prior to dying your whole head. Do not leave the dye in place for extended periods. Other options include natural herbal dyes such as henna dyes.
