What Kind Of Shampoo Is Used For Scalp Psoriasis?

Hello,
Thanks for writing in.
Scalp psoriasis can be controlled with medicated shampoos and lotions.
The best bet is to use a Tar Shampoo alternating with a mild corticosteroid shampoo.
These are available only on a doctor's prescription.
You may also use calciptriol lotion in addition to the aforementioned shampoos.
This will help calm down your scalp skin.
You will see an improvement as early as 2 weeks.
I hope I have answered your query.
Should you have any further question, please do not hesitate to ask me..
Thanks
