Guest guest Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 A few people have asked about scalp treatments. I suffered from bad scalp, very itchy too (much better since MTX, but coming back now I've stopped arava. on MTX alone, it never completely got rid of skin problems, but together with arava it did). In fact i have been scratching today so time for me to treat it too. My dermie prescribed a mix of dithranol, salicylic acid and tar cream, old fashioned, but it worked for me. With a milder strength of dithranol, I could leave it on overnight, and shampoo (with a tar shampoo) next morning, with a stronger dithranol, I could put it on after work, and wash off a few hours later. Of course its icky, and stains things, but it did work. after shampoo, dermie said to use elocon scalp lotion, but i didnt use it often good luck max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
