I have scalp psoriasis, dry hair. how i treat it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Therapeutic shampoo: Try a shampoo containing tar, zinc pyrithione, selenium sulfide, or salicylic acid (or a combination of them). If those don't work, you'll need to see a dermatologist for a prescription-strength shampoo plus an anti-inflammatory lotion or foam or spray.
