Scalp psoriasis and Dermatology Life Quality Index: A retrospective study based on 12-year data from the Malaysian Psoriasis Registry

Abstract

Introduction: Psoriasis affects approximately 2–3% of the population worldwide, although the overall prevalence in Asia is 10, which indicated moderate-to-severe impairment. Conclusion: The proportion of patients with psoriasis with scalp involvement in our study (7.6%) is much lower than previous reports. Scalp psoriasis markedly negatively impacts the DLQI.
