Hello,
I suggest you to consult a dermatologist for clinical assessment of scalp psoriasis spreading to arms. Weight gain, thirst and dizziness are unlikely to be associated with psoriasis. Excessive thirst, increased urination, increased hunger are associated with diabetes mellitus. I suggest you to get blood glucose level done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
