Managing Psoriasis while in Ihraam

Generally, one should avoid scratching the head whilst in Ihraam as far as possible. The Fuqaha have stated that it is Makrooh to scratch the head or beard (in Ihraam) if there is fear of hair falling off. Although Damm will not become obligatory if hair falls due to scratching, one will be required to discharge Sadaqah. However, if one very slightly scratches the head or beard (without any hair falling off), then there is no harm in doing so.
