Hi,

Psoriasis of scalp is a chronic skin disease no requires long term regular treatment. Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect treatment.

Tar based shampoo like qutar shampoo or dancure plus shampoo may be used. Apply steroid with salicylic acid lotion on the scalp at night.

There many drugs which are used to treat psoriasis, for that you should consult the dermatologist.

I hope this would help you.

Thanks.

Hi.
Steiprox and 8x are only available brands for ciclopirox olamiine in india.
Use can use ketoconzole plus zinc pyrithone shampoo like Danket once a week and Salytar shampoo once a week. It will cover both your problems- decrease psoriasis and folliculitis plus avoid drying of hair also.
Thanks
