Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

Thanks for your query . Psoriasis is a chronic skin disorder in which body's immune system overreacts to produce inflammation and flaky skin . As far as shampoo for scalp is concern the main motive remains to soften the skin and loose the scale produce by psoriasis.

Shampoo containing coal tar , salicylic acid , topical steroid (clobestasol) ,ketoconazole , blue lagoon algae and zinc pyrithione are rated best for psoriasis. You should massage it on scalp properly and leave it for 5 mins at least then wash away to get best results.

Basically kojic acid cream is used for hyperpigmentation and is not known to cause much benefit in psoriasis . I would suggest you to use cream containing Vitamin A and D ,sulfur ,lactic acid and tar products .

If condition doesn't get better or get worse consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment.



Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
