A member asked:

Is it possible for topicort to be used on my scalp to get rid of/control my eczema?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes but you need Dx: Yes possibly, but you need to be certain what the correct diagnosis is. This could be psoriasis. You could try tar shampoo. This may be very helpful. There are other shampoos you can use.
