Scalp psorasis

Posted Wed 8 Aug 2018 23.25 by Alisha_2k8

I have had scalp psorasis for over two years now. It comes and it goes. Is there any recommendations people have? I get stubborn flaky white patches that are so noticeable on my hair.

Hi Alisha I have unfortunately had scalp psoriasis for 20 years, it will not go away But it is controllable. I was using Dermovate for 15 years which is a strong steroid lotion, once a day after a shower as it’s easier to put on then. Doctor then put me on betacap ( betamethasone) which is a milder version. If I use this every day or 2 it will stay away, if I don’t it returns. I would recommend dermovate to begin with, it will get rid of your flaky white patches without fail, You will need to apply heavily to begin with. Hope this helps N

Hi Alisha I had scalp psoriasis , I used benovate which my doctor prescribed and I am now free from scalp psoriasis , I had it all over my scalp and the back of my neck but I used benovate and it cured me , but unfortunately I now have psoriasis almost everywhere except my scalp and neck , benovate is a scalp application I applied it once a day and I couldn't believe the result it gave me , it still has not come back. Benovate might be worth ago.
