Scalp Psoriasis

Posted Fri 25 Oct 2024 14.40 by Tina

Update I had a GP appointment this morning and have been prescribed Nizoral which is Ketoconazole so hope it works although it is for dandruff and fungal infection. Also mometasone. The doctor told me to stop puttung any oils on my scalp. I have stopped putting any products or medication on my scalp for a few days and my hair has stopped falling out. I have also taken a few days off to regroup. Best wishes to everyone

It sure if anyone had suggested this, but I’ve always found Mometasone scalp Solution amazing. Apply at night, and wash hair as normal the next day. Might not be effective for everyone, but I’ve always found it super effective and calms it down pretty quickly

Scalp psoriasis: only thing I ever found useful is coconut oil and a flea comb. Make sure the metal teeth aren’t sharp enough to hurt your scalp. Leave oil in for at least 4 hours. When softened the plaques will come off with the comb quite well. It also removes the strand of hair to which it is attached. Have paper towel to wipe comb on. It works so amazingly well. Real relief after u shampoo it. Lasts for quite a few weeks,

Thank you for your helpful reply, I have tried this before but will certainly have a go again. Currently, the dandruff flakes cover my shoulders as soon as my hair is dried after washing. I have taken to wearing a neck scarf to cover the debris. My bathroom cabinet looks like a branch of Boots, I have bought so many bottles of "remedies" !!

Please check any food tolerance and allergies you have especially with milk and wheat ( gluten) . Avoiding these helping my son. After shower and dried hair we apply coconut oil this also helping . We apply coconut oil everyday .
