Hello,
I can understand your concern for possibility of either psoriasis or seborrheic dermatitis on scalp region.
As per the description both of the above can be the possibility of your condition. In such kind of situation I generally go for Skin biopsy of the affected area.
It is the best of approach to diagnose the exact entity. SO ask your dermatologist to do a skin biopsy where the histopathology can reveal the exact etiology of your problem.
In case if it is psoriasis then the mainstay of treatment is methotrexate under dermatological supervision.
All the best.
