Question
How is scalp psoriasis caused? What is the scope of pediatric surgical treatment?
Answer
Scalp psoriasis is a skin condition caused by a fungal infection, with common symptoms including red skin patches, flaking, and itching. Treatment methods include topical antifungal medications, such as Daktarin cream, and oral antifungal medications, such as itraconazole. For severe cases, a combined approach using both oral and topical medications may be necessary. Additionally, pediatric surgery primarily deals with surgical diseases in children, including but not limited to congenital malformations, tumors, and injuries. Parents should promptly take their children to the doctor when they notice related symptoms and follow the treatment under the doctor’s guidance.
