What can be done for psoriasis on the scalp?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Shampoo: Tar shampoos are easy to find. T-gel is popular. Salicylic acid is useful. Zinc pythrium (head & shoulders) can help. Dhs shampoos come in several useful formulations. Try to apply the product to the scalp 1 or more hours before you get in the shower. Use every day. You may need to see a dermatologist. There are prescriptions which are very effective.
