What is the best medication to use for scalp psoriasis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There is no one best: We have many different psoriasis therapies, often used in combinations. Not everyone is identical. See a dermatologist. Meanwhile you can try shampoo with tar, salicylic acid, or zinc pyrithium.
