how do you deal with Psoriosis on the scalp? HELP?
Posted on November 21, 2009
I have two small patches of Psoriosis (a skin problem) on my scalp and I need to get rid of them becuase its always flaking and people reckon its dandruff.
I've been using T-Gel (dandruff/psriosis shampoo) and taking Shark Liver Oil (skin care pills) but it deosnt seem to be helping as much as it's supposed to.
I really dont want to go to a Dermitoligist becuase it costs to much for just an appoitment. If you know of anything that might help please answer becuase I really want to just get rid of this stuff. Thank You and this might just be yucky but please just help me I really dont like this stuff, Thanks agian

Pay the $$ and see a dermatologist.
It might NOT be psoriosis. It might be ringworm.

Try nizsoril shampoo. that’s one thing.
If it is really, really terrible, you can reduce flaking by oiling your hair before bed, but you need to be able to wash your hair out many times to remove the oil. My doctor used to make a prescription for me of saliylic acid and baby oil. But I despised using it as it stained my pillows and was hard to get out of my hair. Question a pharmacist about “sal” acid and baby oil combo for scalp psoriasis. Would he “make” you some?
I doubt very much it is ringworm. They don’t look much alike. And I take it you have already been diagnosed by your family doctor. Remember that one of the prejudices that people have against people with Psoriasis is that they have something that is contagious. Don’t pay any attention to people who suggest such things. Excellent Luck and blessings,

If you cant afford a dermatologist, then go to a low cost clinic and let them take a look. You may need a prescription. When I couldn’t afford to see a doc, I was honest with them and told them I needed to pay in payments. Most of the time they were really nice to me. They may even give you free samples instead of you having to go get a prescription. But if it were my head, I’d go to the doc asap. Better safe than sorry.

Tesia, hello: I suggest that you should try Champori herbal anti-psoriasis cream/spray combo : it is steroid-free and works better than anything else I used for my scalp psoriasis: my patches cleared in just 2.5 weeks and I haven’t had a flare up in more than a year now!
Best,
