Generation X, or Gen X, is the demographic cohort following the baby boomers. There are no precise dates for when this cohort starts or ends; demographers and researchers typically use starting birth years ranging from the early-to-mid 1960s and ending birth years ranging from the late 1970s to early 1980s.
Causes of Scalp Psoriasis. Like other forms of psoriasis, scalp psoriasis occurs when your body's immune system misidentifies the skin as being foreign. Under normal circumstances, the body makes white blood cells, called T-cells, which should only attack invaders such as viruses, bacteria or fungi.
You may be more likely to get scalp psoriasis if it runs in your family. About half of the estimated 7.5 million Americans with psoriasis-which can affect any skin surface-have it on their scalp. Sometimes the scalp is the only place they have it, but thatâs uncommon.
