I assume that you are not talking about scalp psoriasis.
My itching has subsided recently, but when at its worse I found that a bath with Oilatum or Oilatum Plus (bought off amazon.co.uk) helped a lot. The "PLus" has an antiseptic to help a bit with bleeding sites.
Additionally tried almost all emoliients/moisturisers, found DoubleBase Gel and Doublebase Dayleve Gel the best ie giving most relief.
I was recommended by a medic on a ship to try Australian Tea Tea oil, bought it but not tried it yet.
EDIT: Tea Tree Oil, apply it topically, do not ingest it.
