Alternatives to Calcipotriol Scalp Solution and Curatoderm Lotion for Scalp Psoriasis
Posted Sun 3 Nov 2024 20.24 by milkywaycaketomatoes
Hey,
I used to use Calcipotriol Scalp Solution for my scalp psoriasis and that was discontinued so I switched to Curatoderm Lotion
However that has also now been discontinued
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Do you have recommendations for alternatives?

Enstilar contains calcipotriol and betamethasone and is effective. It is not recommended you use continually but to get the psorisis under control for a few weeks. It needs a prescription. If you can ask your GP if they have other alternative Calcipotriol topical products for your scalp
Try taking Vitamin D3 (has to be this version) 25ug or higher per day. Psoriasis sufferers are typically D3 deficient. And Calcipotriol itself is a D3 cream
You could use Calcipotriol cream on your scalp if you had very short hair or a bald head and it would be effective. Otherwise you'd have a ton of greasy hair. Note Enstilar is also quite greasy, but worth it
