Recommended treatment for psoriasis on the scalp?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Persistent treatment: Medicated shampoo containing clobetasol ( steroid) , salicylic acid, keto conazole ( anti-fungal),blue algae & zinc pyrithone. Wash the shampoo after 10 minutes. OTC coal tar products & shampoo also can be used. Take 4 capsules of omega 3 fish oil/day. Use coconut oil on the scalp 2 x daily.

See dermatologist: Fish oil, coconut, vitamins, supplements, vitamins will do nothing for it. Different people will be treated with different things. Tar shampoos are often useful. Clobetasol spray or foam can be very expensive [greedy producers] but there are alternatives. First see a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis.
