Psoriasis can occur just on the scalp
Key Points:
Dry scaly patches are scattered on the scalp and look like patches of psoriasis seen elsewhere
Mild involvement makes it difficult to separate this condition from seborrheic dermatitis or dandruff
When mild, confirmation of the diagnosis requires looking at other parts of the body for changes of psoriasis, for example the elbows, knees, lower back and nails
Scalp psoriasis can creep onto the forehead or the skin beyond the hairline
In some, it is very itchy
Treatment can be difficult in severe cases
eczema :
Atopic eczema (aka infantile e., flexural e., atopic dermatitis) is believed to have a hereditary component, and often runs in families whose members also have hay fever and asthma. Itchy rash is particularly noticeable on face and scalp, neck, inside of elbows, behind knees, and buttocks. Experts are urging doctors to be more vigilant in weeding out cases that are in actuality irritant contact dermatitis. It is very common in developed countries, and rising
Could be one of these but check with your doctor first!

Psoriasis is a disease that takes place when the body’s immune system mistakenly believes healthy skin cells to be enemy cells and starts to produce many more new cells to replace these cells. This is the reason why there is no cure for psoriasis and medications applied to treat psoriasis are only able to remove the symptoms temporarily. Don't go the "cream route", it's only just a waste of time and money. Been there Done that!
You need to read "Psoriasis Free For Life" by Katy Wilson if you want to cure your psoriasis for good. Available online also @ http://www.psoriasisforeverfree.com It's a book that shows you how to cure psoriasis naturally in a few days. I cured my psoriasis permanently in 6 days after reading this book. Good luck!

If spots are present on your hands and feet only, then most likely you came into contact with either a parasite (such as fleas) or an allergen (like poison ivy). By the way, you can contact poison ivy rashes without touching the plant directly, if another person or animal brings the plant oils into contact with you on their skin. For temporary relief, rinse the area with plain white vinegar or apply an over-the-counter anti-itch medication. If the problem persists or if the rash area is growing larger, I would see a doctor to make sure you don't have any medical conditions and consider putting on some form of natural insect repellent on a regular basis.
