Psorasis

Does anyone have any good solutions for Psoriasis that's come up on my scalp? I really need to have my hair done but i'm not too keen as the skin is open.

Cheers Kitkat. I have a funny feeling that I changed my shampoo (bought the one on special) and then it flared up. Perhaps I just need to bite the bullet and talk to my B.therapist about a better quality product. My hair is supposed to be dark red and shortish but at the mo it's Ginga with a blondish streak down the middle lol.

I have psoriasis and during my pregnancy it pretty much cleared up all over my body, but flared up quite badly on my scalp. My dermatologist said it was fine to continue using what I previously used.

I use olive oil with 5% salicylic acid. You put this on overnight or for a few hours and this loosens it. Then in the morning I would put on dermol scalp application.

It works really well. It is a bit of a pain, but I tend to do it for 4 days in a row and that keeps it at bay for another month.

BTW you don't need a prescription for the olive oil plus 5% salicylic acid, and your doctor will be able to prescribe the dermol if you ask for it. Also, Daivonex is not recommended in pregnancy due to the Vitamen A (I think)
