Hi,
It may be seborrheic dermatitis most probably.
Consult the expert dermatologist for perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.
Psoriasis is not common on face.
Apply mild steroid lotion on the face lesions and steroid with salicylic acid lotion on the scalp.
Ketoconazole containing shampoo may be used daily.
Psychological upsets might exacerbate the disease, so relax and keep the mind cool.
Oral treatment may be given after personal examination.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
