A member asked:
I am suffering from psoriasis on my scalp so many years and i have been buying and applying the anti-fungal cream. its not helping at all.

Not fungal: Psoriasis is not caused by a fungus and thus OTC shampoo for psoriasis will likely be more effective. If these preparations failed, then consult a dermatologist. Antifungal is maninly for seborrhea .
