A member asked:

Scalp psoriasis after allergic reaction to keratin treatment in sept21, salicylic acid scalp lotion every 2-4 days & washing with ph balance salicylic acid shampoo not working. blue light therapy or antibiotic treatment? extreme flakiness & itching?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

In my experience scalp psoriasis is a difficult condition to treat & requires the skill and knowledge of a dermatologist. In addition to the rigorous treatment regimen, follow-up is important. If you're already being treated by a dermatologist you may want to seek a second opinion.
