Scalp psoriasis

I was prescribed betacap lotion, it has a nozzle on it to apply straight to the scalp thro the hair, although it wont harm hair, the nozzle is nice to scatch the scalp! leave for about half hour then shampoo. I use Tgel as prescribed, also I use conditioner as well or my hair would be straw! It helps but only till the next shampoo.

Im really struggling at the mo!!!!! heads tight really flakey im getting fed up of people staring at my hair when talking to me. having a bit of a melt down at the moment :(

It’s such a nightmare right?I’m honestly in the same position. The paranoia is horrible I have literally tried everything possible and betcap solution as mentioned above.. nothing makes it remotely better, there must be something out there to relieve it. :’(

My doc prescribes Capasal for me and I wash my hair daily with it. If you pay for your NHS scripts then you will probably be better off buying OTC but if like me all scripts are free then ask your doc. It took many months but now my hair is P free AND it also cleared the P from my rather dense beard :thumpup:

Hi Sally, I have been trying out many different creams and lotions for my scalp and find that none of them were clearing it up! my specialist prescribed me with a thick cream called Betnovate Ointment. This was originally meant for another part of my body but I though, what's the worst that can happen! beleave it or not, if I apply this to my scalp on the Friday night and let I sit until the following day, when I bath or shower later on in the Saturday I can already feel the scales washing away! I applied again on Saturday night and rinsed again on the Sunday and come the Monday, the has pretty much cleared up! not sure if this has worked with others but hope it helps!! I do this process every weekend and touch wood I stay clear from my scalp scaling again!

i have been told p is not a skin condition its a gut called leaky gut

"i have been told p is not a skin condition its a gut called leaky gut" Whoever told you that mojo was talking out of their rear! Psoriasis is a skin disorder driven by the immune system, especially involving a type of white blood cell called a T cell. Normally, T cells help protect the body against infection and disease. In the case of psoriasis, T cells are put into action by mistake and become so active that they trigger other immune responses, which lead to inflammation and to rapid turnover of skin cells. In about one-third of the cases, there is a family history of psoriasis. Researchers have studied a large number of families affected by psoriasis and identified genes linked to the disease. (Genes govern every bodily function and determine the inherited traits passed from parent to child.) People with psoriasis may notice that there are times when their skin worsens, then improves. Conditions that may cause flare-ups include infections, stress, and changes in climate that dry the skin. Also, certain medicines, including lithium and beta-blockers, which are prescribed for high blood pressure, may trigger an outbreak or worsen the disease.
