Re: scalp psoriasis remedy???

[Guest guest]

I use Polytar Shampoo when flared-up. It is on the shelf at my drug store

but you might have to ask the pharmacist for it at your drug store. It is

smelly because of the high concentration of tar, but it is effective.

[Guest guest]

try shampoo wiyh emuoil or hemp oil . you can find these online.

Dear ,

My son has this and it is a struggle to keep the scalp moistured constantly.

The intention and desperation to relieve the itch is constant. Sometimes he uses

olive oil and leaves it on overnight. We have used coaltar prep such as Polytar

and oilatum. baby shampoos are generally purer. However; I have to stress we

have not found something that really works. We hope that some form of genetic

treatment will come on board in the near future, God willing.

suggested tea tree oil but said it would dry my hair out so I mixed it

with conditioner and that did not help either. Has anyone found some

remedy that works? If so please share your wealth of information.

[Guest guest]

cvs makes a shampoo with salycylic acid and kakui nut oil which is pretty

mild and no smell.

[Guest guest]

I use prescription Nizoral shampoo and then when I'm done I use a liquid

scalp solution of Dovonex 5% and I dont have any issues at all with my

scalp. But what works for one might not work for another =)))

Hi ,

I have the scalp P-

My doc had a really good thing that works for me- it

will almost diminish should I do it a few days - But,

I have long hair, blonde at that and when I do it I

have to stay inside for days- it takes forever to get

out- plus the 'coal tar' is dark and kind of stains.

Anyway, There is a a topical oil ( derma-smootHe

/FS).01% - From what I gathered it was a peanut oil?

He told me to put it on the P at night and sleep with

a bag on my head- then I wake and wash it out-

After that I put this stronger version of the T-GEL

on the P spots- and the longer I let it sit the

better.

After I was that out I have a topical steroid

solution- it is alcohol based so it feels like putting

rubbing alcohol on your wound- and I do that.

After a few days I really almost diminish the P- but

like I said- I have to do it for some days.

I have had a mild flare and haven't had the time to do

it-plus I have a boy to take to school-so, i have

neglected it.

Check into the stronger T-GELS. They are given by

script ...more coal tar percent. Better than the OTC.

Good luck!

I have been using Alphosyl shampoo for the last 5 years and found it very good

in controlling the psoriasis on my scalp. I have stopped using it periodically

but the psoriasis returns quickly. Hope this helps

I use Alphosyl....it has got rid of all mine. Am in the UK , think you

can also get it on prescription. May have a different name in the US

[Guest guest]

I did t-gel also, and mine come and go... I am starting to show some signs

again, so I will probably go back to it... As said, what works for one may

not work for another... You could ask the pharmacy what things he can get in

that might help and ask for a script from your dr... Hope that helps...

[Guest guest]

i would try emu oil shampoos and conditioners if i were you . or a salicylic

acid shampoo. people are having good results wih the new hemp shampoos.some

people try lemon juice mixed with glycerin on scalp for a few hours with a

shower cap overnight .be careful with lemon juice cause it could change your

hair color . you could probably try just water mixed with gylcerin and put that

on scalp overnight . but that the lemon juice and gylcerin and lemon juice

is used a s a remedy for cradle cap for babies .. then shampoo in he morning.

My doc gave me a mouse called Luxiq and it works great . I had tried other

things as well to no avail. What is nice about this is it doesn't leave your

hair greasy or anything and it doesn't have an unpleasant odor. Good luck

You're not going to believe this, but I got rid of mine with Vicks

VapoRub. I fought it for three years, and then someone told me about

Vicks. I used it once. The psoriasis went away and has never come

back.

Dear ,

There is a product I began using a few years ago that really

brought the psoriasis on my feet under control. It is called Freederm

HC (www.freederm.com) I have used the soap, the cream and the

moisturizer. They also have a shampoo and conditioner but I haven't

tried that as my P on my scalp is very minor.

This product doesn't " cure " psoriasis as it claims, but it is well

worth the money. The moisturizer alone is great! It really penetrates

through the plaques without irritating your skin further.

Not trying to be a commercial here, but after spending thousand of

dollars on salves, creams, lotions, soaks etc; it was great to find a

product that really seems to help.

, I use " tarsum " shampoo for the scalp p. It's strong smelling, so I just

use a conditioner or do a second shampoo with a mild shampoo to eliminate the

lingering odor. It's an OTC, but sold only in Dermatology offices. I purchase

it online cheaper than my derm sells it for. The company also makes " cutemol " ,

which I use on my hands for my nail psoriasis and to moisturize any dry or scaly

areas. Go to www.sumlab.com for info.

My derm once prescribed a combination of salicylic acid, triamcinolone, and

cocoa butter. The pharmacy had to compound it. I would rub it into my scalp at

night and put on a shower cap before going to bed. The P on my scalp cleared up

beautifully in about 2 weeks.

> , I use " tarsum " shampoo for the scalp p.

Through the week, I also use an over-the-counter tar shampoo. It is

manufactured by Neutrogena. They make various concentrations. On

weekends, I use a prescription steriod that I rub right into the

affected areas. That way I give my body a break from both products.

Hope this helps, Brent

Hi

Lots of good advice here. I don't have a lot on my scalp but what's

there used to be stubborn. Now I use an OTC shampoo called Nizoral -

it has an antifungal - ketoconazole. Comes in a prescription strenght

too if you need... I was told that normal skin fungi take advantage of

psoriatic skin and keeping them in check helps keep the flakes in

check. Has been working mostly for me for a couple of years.

Best regards -
