Hi - first time on here to ask a question
I have scalp psoriasis and have been using Dovobet gel.
The consultant recommended using an emollient /moisturiser in between treatments but didn't recommend any particular one to get.
Would appreciate any help with this as I would like to moisturise to calm the itching and tightness. Thanks

HI Kay
I have had scalp psoriasis for over 30 years and have used various treatments including the dovobet gel . I used dermol 500 once a week and just rubbed it into my scalp left it on for a couple of hours and then washed it off , you can do it as often as you want but will need to wash it off
Hope you get some relief

Please have a look at this - I have read that it helps with scalp psoriasis. I have used it on my 'feet' pustular psoriasis - I try anything :(
Cocois is for the treatment of dry scaly skin disorders of the scalp such as psoriasis, eczema, dandruff and other inflammatory conditions causing irritation and scaliness.
I have had psoriasis for about thirty years now and have tried loads of moisturisers but more recently I have been using Vaseline Advanced Repair but have been adding in some extra standard Vaseline into the moisturiser before I apply it. I find this keeps my skin moisturised really well all day. Because I am mixing additional Vaseline into the moisturiser, it doesn’t leave my clothes sticking to my skin. As many of us know Vaseline isn’t practical for day use but adding a fingertip full of Vaseline to the moisturiser has worked for me.
