About Dermatosis of the scalp.

Dermatosis of the scalp refers to any inflammatory, scaling, or pruritic cutaneous disorder affecting the integumentary system of the cranial scalp, most commonly encompassing conditions such as scalp psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, and eczema.

In regulatory and clinical labeling, it represents a categorical indication for topical therapies targeting corticosteroid-responsive scalp disease in pediatric or adult populations.

Pathophysiologically, these disorders are driven by local immune-mediated inflammation, epidermal hyperproliferation, altered sebaceous gland activity, or impaired skin barrier function.

Defining clinical features include localized or diffuse scalp erythema, marked pruritus, and flaking that ranges from greasy, fine scales to thick, adherent, silvery plaques.
